Vibrant · Trendy · Convenient · Pedestrian-Friendly · Upscale

The hip neighborhood of Uptown sits in the heart of the city, just north of downtown Dallas. This lively spot is lauded for its cozy cocktail bars and global bistros, serving everything from French patisserie to Vietnamese to Moroccan fare. But, the “see-and-be-seen” atmosphere keeps people coming back for more. A strong social scene along McKinney Avenue, home to the free M-Line Trolly, anchors the neighborhood.

The highly walkable streets are filled with an array of spirited nightlife, fantastic shopping, and designer apartments and condominiums. Tree-lined townhouses farther north add privacy while still remaining close to all the action. Rentals on nearby Knox Street deserve a look as well.

Neighborhood Life

The Uptown neighborhood is, in a word, lively. In this active, bustling area with lots to do and see, you can always attend a concert, tasting, or fun happy hour to mix things up, and you’ll never bore from the ever-changing crowd. From coffee shops to sports bars, to pubs and outdoor patios, Uptown is the place to be.

Local Hangouts

A few can’t-miss dining options include Catbird, Monarch, and Kessaku, all conveniently located inside the posh Thompson Hotel. Fearing’s, a restaurant inside the Ritz Carlton, and Nobu Dallas are also favorites. Also, Uptown residents all enjoy watching a flick at the Magnolia Theatre, named "Best Theater in Dallas'' by the Dallas Observer and D Magazine.

Athletic folks like to jog the Katy Trail, a 3.5-mile paved trail spanning from SMU to Victory Park. Other notable attractions include Klyde Warren Park, a 5.2-acre park connecting Uptown to Downtown, the Bivins Gallery for modern art, and The Rustic for drinks and live music with friends.

Things To Know

Something new and fun is always happening on McKinney Avenue. The trolley offers a unique, comfortable ride to all the best spots, but when pressed for time, walking might be faster. While 20 to 30-somethings flock to the area, it also attracts empty-nesters and anyone young at heart. Throw caution to the wind and embrace the hustle and bustle of Uptown y’all – you only live once!

Chris was so on it and very receptive to my feedback. There were specific things I wanted all in one place and somehow he managed to find it. It's amazing that he was able to do all this remotely, definitely saved me a lot of stress and hassle. Thank you Chris!

Before being helped by AptAmigo I spent close to 40 hours looking for the right apartment and barely found anything that I was satisfied with. I told Chris what I was looking for and he lined up tours for apartments the very next day. I had so many great options, my problem changed from "is there even a place here I want to live?" to "I don't know which one to choose!". All thanks to Chris and AptAmigo!

Chris Champion was incredibly professional, responsive, and informative. He went above and beyond with his service on multiple occasions, was quick to respond, and available at all times. Could not ask for a better apartment locator. Thanks Chris!

Drew S. was so helpful to us! We were looking for apartments fairly last minute and Drew helped us get tours set up with several great options on very short notice. He was always responsive and professional, and he got us in a spot we love that we otherwise would not have found. 10/10!

Brandi H. Did a wonderful job helping me locate my next apartment. She answered all my questions and was very responsive. She provided a solid list of apartments that met my criteria and made my search for a new pad less stressful. I like how the list she provided detailed which apartments were having specials.
