Neighborhoods in Farmers Branch
Three parts of the city, on the map. Mercer Crossing has its own page; the station area and Brookhaven are described below.
The station area is the part of Farmers Branch around Farmers Branch station, at 12800 Denton Drive, near the northeast corner of I-635 and I-35E. The site opened in the 1990s as a bus park-and-ride, and Green Line trains began stopping here on December 6, 2010.
DART’s sheet for the station lists City Hall, the Firehouse Theatre, two rose gardens and the Farmers Branch Historical Park within half a mile of the platform. The city puts the park at 27 acres, with buildings from 1840 to 1940, among them a railroad depot that the Dallas and Wichita Railroad built around 1877.
From here the Green Line runs south to the Medical District and downtown Dallas, and one stop north to Downtown Carrollton, where you change to the Silver Line for DFW Airport. One apartment building opens straight onto the platform. Start your list here if you want to walk to the train.
