DALLAS NEIGHBORHOODS / UPTOWN
Uptown Apartments
In short
Uptown is the dense, walkable district just north of downtown Dallas, between US 75 and the Katy Trail. The M-Line trolley, running since 1989 and free to ride since 2002, links McKinney Avenue with Cityplace/Uptown, the only underground DART station. The search is free; the community pays us.
