The neighborhood continues to have a reputation for being very friendly, and many of the residents either grew up in the area or still have family living there.

These single family residences are a mix of one and two story structures, and they range in size from 1,325 to 2,742 square feet. This community is an architectural gem with it’s mix of traditional, 1950s ranch homes, Craftsman style homes, and Prairie style architecture.

Wynnewood North is just a short distance from the West End Historic District. The Old Red Museum was built in 1892, and originally served as the Dallas County Courthouse. The building is now a museum that doubles as an event facility. Other buildings have been converted into upscale shops and restaurants.
