Turtle Creek
The Turtle Creek corridor, between Uptown and Highland Park, is known for residential high-rises overlooking the creek and its greenbelt.
About Turtle Creek
Turtle Creek Boulevard follows the creek from near Uptown toward Highland Park, and the corridor is home to several established and newer residential towers.
High-rise buyers should compare HOA dues, reserves, services, parking and pet policies across buildings. Our agents can request building documents and coordinate private showings.
Many towers have limited availability at any given time, so setting up an MLS alert is often the best first step.
Schools
Public schools are within Dallas ISD boundaries. School assignment depends on the specific address. Verify attendance zones directly with the district before making a decision.
