Neighborhood: funky, friendly, and full of soul
Little Forest Hills is a tucked-away East Dallas gem — a quirky, artsy neighborhood of cottages and bungalows that grew up as a cozy getaway near White Rock Lake and slowly developed from the 1920s through the 1950s. Its friendly streets, creative spirit, and mix of original homes and tasteful updates have made it one of Dallas’ most beloved neighborhoods.
Play outside: White Rock Lake + Dallas Arboretum (yes, it’s that close!)
You’re just minutes from the gorgeous White Rock Lake — the 9+ mile trail is fantastic for running, biking, or peaceful lakeside strolls — and the beautiful Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Garden sits on the lake’s shores with seasonal events, outdoor concerts, and picture-perfect picnic lawns. If you love being outdoors, this location is a dream.
