Winnetka Heights

Winnetka Heights in Dallas, TX

Welcome to Winnetka Heights in Dallas Texas.
Here you will find turn-of-the century charm, lovingly preserved and restored. In addition to being close to downtown Dallas and Bishop Arts District, Winnetka Heights is one of the most intact neighborhoods of its time. In 1981 the neighborhood became the city’s sixth Historic District.
And with more than 600 residential structures and 20 commercial structures, it is the second largest in Dallas. Wide boulevards, mature trees and pocket parks make it a joy to walk, ride or drive through this fabulous central Oak Cliff neighborhood.

In 1908 this neighborhood was named, and the developers began marketing to the millionaires of that era. It offered everything a family of prestige could want, adjacency to the downtown, new mansions, artisinal water and a location up on a hill. Why would being elevated matter? The Great Flood of 1908 showed the power of the Trinity River, as it overflowed its banks and swallowed parts of Dallas. Homeowners wanted to live far above the wild water. Today, Winnetka Heights includes brick and wood homes in Prairie and Arts & Crafts styles. And the Historic District preserves all the wonderful details. From stunning windows and doors, to graceful columns and stately fireplaces, Winnetka Heights has it all.

George Kessler’s dream project began in the 1920’s. At that time, Oak Cliff, with its rolling hills and tree-lined streets, had just been incorporated into the city of Dallas. Kessler planned for homes in the Tudor and Spanish Revival Styles, to grace the winding boulevards of the area. But Kessler Park expanded its boundaries and now includes styles such as Prairie, rambling Ranches, and even a few modern homes
In 2005 the area became a designated Conservation District by the City of Dallas to protect its unique collection of original and contemporary homes.
