SHOPPING THE CLIFF

A D Home fanatic contacted me yesterday, asking the following question:

I’m looking at buying a house, and it looks like the cool ones I’m interested in are all in Kessler Park. But is there anything to do over there?

I always love this question. For some reason, crossing the Trinity River equals an exodus of Moses-like proportions. All will be happy to know that North Oak Cliff is only 10 minutes from Uptown, Downtown, and Oak Lawn. And within the neighborhood itself, there’s plenty of places to sip, sup, and shop. The Bishop Arts District features plenty of funky shops, including art galleries and vintage finds. Jefferson Boulevard is an amazing strip of hispanic-owned boutiques and stores. And just west lies two burgeoning entertainment districts, one of which promises to house a performing arts space, jazz club, and restaurants. Plus, you get rolling hills, wooded terrain, and a diverse population. Okay. Enough Oak Cliff ego boosts today. To discover more, go here and here.
