An established suburb in East Dallas

While its name implies the opposite, Urbandale offers comfortable suburban living among pocket parks, sidewalk-lined streets and locally owned restaurants, all just 8 miles east of Downtown Dallas. “Urbandale offers flexibility where you’re close to downtown, but far enough away to get out of the city a bit and have that true, suburban feel,” says Jody Hawkins, a Realtor with Local Realty Agency who has been selling homes in the area for over four years. “This area is also a bit more established.” The East Dallas neighborhood is about 2 miles south of Interstate 30, which provides easy access to the city center and beyond.

Tree-lined streets include a subdivision of custom-built homes

A collection of ranch-style and split-level homes built around the mid-1900s sit along Urbandale’s tree-lined streets. Most homes feature vinyl or brick siding and sit side-by-side on modest lots with an average size of about 9,145 square feet. Further south is the Greenwood Terrace subdivision, a pocket of custom-built homes ranging from charming bungalows to Tudor-style homes. New construction built throughout the early 2020s is also scattered throughout Urbandale, including new traditional homes. “There’s a lot of transition as far as houses being rebuilt and remodeled,” Hawkins says. Prices range from around $210,000 for a two-bedroom ranch-style home to $340,000 for newer construction. According to the CAP Index, the neighborhood has an overall Crime Score of 6 compared to the national average of 4.
