Living in Bluffview, TX

 
Bluffview is named for the rocky bluff overlooking Bachman Creek. This upscale neighborhood featuring Bluffview Homes is located between Northwest Highway and Lovers, Inwood, and Midway in North Dallas. In Bluffview, you’ll find quiet, winding streets and serene neighborhoods with rolling hills and majestic 50-foot cliffs. Beautiful homes sit on hilltops with sprawling yards to play in, established trees, and creeks meandering through.
 
Interestingly, this area was once a dairy farm pasture but has since been developed into one of Dallas's most desirable neighborhoods. Bluffview offers the charms of a small town but with the proximity and attributes of big city life just a few miles away, attracting young professionals and retirees alike. If you are considering Bluffview as a place to call home, Darla Chapman Ripley is the local expert who will help you find your perfect place among the gorgeous Bluffview homes for sale.

Community feel


Families, young professionals, and retirees alike often inquire about Bluffview real estate because they are drawn to the peaceful, easy living that Bluffview offers. Residents get to be part of a welcoming community, where neighbors often stay friends for life, and families get to watch their children grow up together. The excellent schools, family-orientated entertainment, lush, spacious yards, and quiet streets make this an ideal place to raise kids, grow old, and retire.

Lots of space



The topography is unique and beautiful in Bluffwood, and you will find charming homes of all sizes, set on hilltops or multiple-acre plots. Privacy and space are essential to Bluffwood real estate, and the spaciousness between homes will never leave you feeling like you’re on top of your neighbors.

Location


Bluffview offers peaceful suburban living but is close to all of the action of Dallas. It is only a 5-minute drive from Dallas Love Field airport, convenient for jet setters or those who enjoy having guests visit from out of town. It is also bordered by University Park and Highland Park — two other highly desirable areas.
 
University Park homes for sale don't stay on the market for long, as it is a highly desirable area. It is the home of Southern Methodist University and offers suburban living with ample options for restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. Houses in Highland Park are also elegant and close to Highland Park Village, Dallas’ premier luxury shopping center in a fun, open-air setting.

Local entertainment


Residents of Bluffview real estate don't need to travel far for great local entertainment. Nearby Lovers Lane not only provides world-class retail therapy but also opportunities for relaxation and fun with the Landmark Inwood theater. This historic 1940s theater’s exterior and interior renovations have made this modern spot the place to be again on a Friday night.
 
There are excellent places to eat nearby, such as the humorously-named Neighborhood Services, which offers New American cuisine and a trendy bar scene. Celebration Restaurant is where you can get homestyle-fried chicken and cobbler in a casual, family-oriented setting. If you’re in the mood for impeccable Italian food, Bugatti Ristorante is a landmark eatery with a patio and lake view for those romantic nights out. Zio Cecio offers upscale rustic Italian fare in a colorful setting and includes patio seating options.
 
Bluffview Growler and Lakewood Growler are popular local spots to hang out with friends and enjoy craft beers. They call themselves the "neighborhood fill station," and their menu also offers selections of wine, cider, kombucha, and root beer.

Proximity to Dallas attractions



While many locals enjoy the quietness of Bluffview real estate, they are also happy to have all of the perks of a big city nearby. Whether you are into the arts or are a sports fanatic, there is something for everyone in Dallas. The AT&T Performing arts center is a $354-million multi-venue center in the Dallas Arts District. You can stop in for a night of opera, musical theater, plays, ballet, and other performances. You will also find that you are close to the Dallas Museum of Art, where you can spend all day viewing one-of-a-kind exhibits by influential artists.
 
The American Airlines Center is Dallas' premier sports and entertainment arena, where you can watch everything from the Dallas Mavericks dunking to Justin Bieber singing.

Architecture of homes

Influential architects have seen their work grace the rolling hills of Bluffview, including Charles Dilbeck, O'Neil Ford, Lake Flato, and John Astin Perkins. Perkins is Dallas' most famous interior designer and architect.

Beautiful surroundings


There is no shortage of bucolic terrain, creeks, and greenery offered up with this area’s steep 50-foot bluffs and rolling hills — an uncommon sight in the otherwise mostly flat state of Texas. Apart from the classic beauty of many Bluffview homes for sale, excellent outdoor reaction opportunities are nearby.
 
Bluff View Park is a great local recreation area with playgrounds, extensive playing fields, and picnic areas. It's a perfect place to spend a weekend with the family, host a birthday party, or take the dog out for a nice long stroll. You can also find locals enjoying the great outdoors at the Bachman Creek Greenbelt as they go for a morning or sunset jog. This is a nearly 6-acre park offering walking trails and other family-friendly outdoor recreation options.
