DALLAS NEIGHBORHOODS PRESTONWOOD
Prestonwood Apartments
In short
Prestonwood is the part of Far North Dallas around Preston Road and Belt Line Road. The Clubs of Prestonwood opened in 1968, and the Prestonwood Town Center mall stood on Belt Line Road from 1979 to 2004. Since October 2025, Knoll Trail station on the DART Silver Line has linked it to DFW Airport.
Where it is
Prestonwood sits in Far North Dallas, around the crossing of Preston Road and Belt Line Road. Three places carry its name: Prestonwood Boulevard, the Prestonwood Town Center shopping center and The Clubs of Prestonwood, a private golf club on Preston Road.
Prestonwood Boulevard is a short street, about half a mile long, that runs north from Belt Line Road to Arapaho Road, between Preston Road and the Dallas North Tollway. A few hundred yards to the west, Montfort Drive comes up from the south and meets Belt Line Road; the shopping center sits between the two streets.

What is here
The Clubs of Prestonwood began in 1968 with The Creek, its course at 15909 Preston Road. A second course, The Hills in west Plano, joined it in 1986.
Prestonwood Town Center opened in 1979 as a two-level enclosed mall at the northeast corner of Belt Line Road and Montfort Drive, built by Hunt Properties. It was torn down in 2004, and a shopping center with the same name, on a 62-acre site, opened there in 2006.
Preston Road, the state’s Highway 289 since 1939, follows the course of an older road, the Preston Trail, which ran north to Preston Bend on the Red River. That town now lies under Lake Texoma.

Getting around
Knoll Trail station, at 15292 Knoll Trail Drive near Arapaho Road and the Tollway, opened with the DART Silver Line on October 25, 2025. The next stop west is Addison, and the line goes on to DFW Airport Terminal B; the next stop east is UT Dallas.
Unlike most DART stations, Knoll Trail has no parking lot of its own, so plan to reach it on foot, by bike or by bus.
By car, Belt Line Road leads west into Addison, the Dallas North Tollway heads south to I-635 and downtown, and Preston Road goes north to the President George Bush Turnpike and Plano.
