These residences tend to be smaller single family structures that range in size from 830 square feet to just under 1400 square feet.

Families with children will love the neighborhood’s close proximity to the Dallas Zoo. The zoo’s 95 acres are devoted to a host of different animals, fun family activities, learn opportunities, interactive features and games, pony rides, and children’s farm.

The zoo was founded in 1888, and is the oldest and largest zoological park in the southwest. Visitors can rent wheelchairs and strollers, eat in one of the zoo’s dining facilities, or visit the gift and souvenir shop.

The Kresge Foundation Farm has an unusual collection of farm animals, including pygmy goats, Sicilian miniature donkeys, Old English baby doll sheep, and even barn owls.
