The neighborhood of Bluffview is loosely defined as the area bounded by Northwest Highway on the north, Inwood on the east, Midway on the west and Lovers Lane on the south. Winding, tree-lined streets, rolling terrain and a delightful mix of 1920s through 1990s houses create a unique neighborhood known for its individualism and private backyards. Bluffview continues to gain in popularity and prestige as original estate homes are being restored and new contemporary homes are being built.
The Briarwood neighborhood is the area north of Lovers Lane, west of Inwood and bounded on both the west and north by Elsby. Developed primarily in the 1940s for returning World War II veterans on what used to be pasture land from a dairy farm, these cottages and small houses rapidly have become extremely sought after. A real sense of neighborhood exists here, and it is rare to drive through Briarwood without seeing neighbors walking with their dogs and young children or catching up with their neighbors.
Cresthaven is a sub-set of Shorecrest. Shorecrest is a quiet, centrally located neighborhood where greenbelts, schoolyards and extra-wide lots buffer the noise from those high-traffic, easily accessible streets. The neighborhood is an oasis of calm 10 minutes from downtown. Named the "hottest neighborhood in Dallas" in 2004 by D Magazine, the area is now undergoing a significant building boom, and new homeowners are rushing to buy up completed new construction homes.
Devonshire is an upscale and affluent neighborhood, bounded by the Dallas North Tollway on the east, Lovers Lane on the south, Inwood Road on the west and Northwest Highway (Loop 12) on the north. Most of the southern half of Devonshire was developed largely in the 1930s and 1940s, along with University Park. Farmland occupied much of the remaining area; most was developed later, a parcel at a time, beginning in the late 1950s.
