Turtle Creek Condos and Homes

What makes it distinctive

Turtle Creek in short

Most homes along Turtle Creek Boulevard are condos in mid-rise and high-rise buildings, with some townhomes and older houses nearby. The corridor follows Turtle Creek through the City of Dallas between Uptown and Oak Lawn, north toward Highland Park, with creekside parks along the way. It is served by Dallas ISD. Buying here means judging the building and its association as carefully as the unit.

Where Turtle Creek is

Turtle Creek Boulevard follows the creek from the Uptown and Oak Lawn area north toward Highland Park. Reverchon Park and Turtle Creek Park, formerly Lee Park, sit along the creek, and the Katy Trail is close by. Uptown lies to the east and Oak Lawn to the west.

Condos, buildings and what to check

Buildings range from older mid-rise condos to full-service towers. When you compare units, compare buildings too: services, parking, age, upkeep and the association's finances.

Read the declaration, bylaws, rules, budget and the resale certificate.
Ask about reserves, planned major repairs and special assessments.
Check rules on leasing, pets, parking and renovations.
Ask your insurance agent what the master policy covers and what your own policy must cover.

Schools: which district and how to check

The Turtle Creek corridor in the City of Dallas is served by Dallas ISD. Enter the exact building address in Dallas ISD's school lookup and confirm the district on the DCAD record. The northern end borders Highland Park, so check addresses near that line carefully.

Getting around
