Stretching along North Central Expressway from Mockingbird Lane to 635, Midtown Dallas is a suburban oasis that provides its residents with a convenient, comfortable lifestyle smack in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the greater Dallas area. Shopping and restaurant enthusiasts alike find their sanctuary in Midtown, and with a $4 billion urban and retail development center in the works, that title will only continue to be impressed upon. This innovative development will provide residents with a refreshing new take on suburban convenience; plans describe mixed-use buildings composed of restaurants, retail, office and housing spaces which will create a new, walkable area with a fresh, modern feel.

Already within Midtown is Northpark Mall, a beautiful, high fashion, luxury shopping emporium with over 235 stores and restaurants in addition to a reserved-seating AMC theater. Medical City and Texas Health Presbyterian, two of the highest-ranked hospitals in Texas, are both comfortably located within the Midtown area, and the trend for health services continues with several Urgent Care and specialized health clinics also located nearby.

Located in Midtown’s University Park, Southern Methodist University is a highly ranked institution which gives the area some younger flavor and a college-town feel. With walkable access to iconic spots such as the long-running sports bar Milo Butterfingers on SMU Boulevard and local favorite JD’s Chippery, a bakery that’s been serving up delicious pastries since 1983, the SMU area is a popular spot for students and families alike. The Art Institute of Dallas is another higher education facility located nearby at the Shops at Park Lane and has programs in the realms of design, fashion, media and culinary arts.

Exciting recreational options fit for the whole family are boundless, with conveniently located choices including Top Golf, which offers a high-tech driving range alongside upscale bar food and drinks, The Escape Room, an interactive entertainment concept based on clues and puzzle-solving, Studio Movie Grill, a movie experience complete with cozy, cushioned chairs and seat-serviced meals, and several beautiful parks with playgrounds and leash-free dog areas. Between the easy highway connections, DART Rail access points and affordable rental options, Midtown is no question one of the most convenient and desirable areas to live in Dallas.
