The Cedars

Just south of downtown, The Cedars is Dallas’ oldest neighborhood, a Victorian-era enclave reborn as the city’s loft-and-arts district. Old brick warehouses now hold studios, galleries, and apartments, murals turn up along the streets, and the skyline sits close enough to feel like part of the backyard.

You’re a short hop from the heart of the city: live music at Gilley’s and the South Side ballroom, weekend hauls at the Dallas Farmers Market, and the bars and venues of Deep Ellum a few minutes north. DART’s red and blue lines run right through, so downtown and beyond are easy without a car.

For creative types and downtown commuters who would take character over cookie-cutter, The Cedars pairs historic bones and artistic energy with unbeatable proximity to the center of Dallas, and a neighborhood feel all its own.
