South Dallas, while not containing any individual communities, is a large, highly populated region of the city of Dallas and Dallas County.

 

Because of its comparatively low rental prices, South Dallas is ideal for individuals or families seeking affordable, cost-efficient housing while remaining in close proximity to their places of work. Dallas’ public transportation system offers affordable travel options for South Dallas residents.

 

South Dallas, a distinct neighborhood southeast of Downtown, lays claim to the Cedars, an eclectic artist hotbed south of downtown and Fair Park, home of the annual State Fair of Texas, occurring in October.

Much of the southern portion of the city is characterized now by high rates of poverty and crime. To spur growth in the southern sector of the city, University of North Texas System opened a Dallas campus in October 2006 in South Oak Cliff near the intersection of Interstate 20 and University Hills Blvd. Large amounts of undeveloped land remain nearby, due to decades of slow growth south of Downtown.

Oak Cliff (within the South Dallas area) is a district in Dallas, Texas, that was formerly a separate town located in Dallas County; Dallas annexed Oak Cliff in 1903. It has since retained a distinct neighborhood identity as one of Dallas' older, established neighborhoods.

Oak Cliff has turn-of-the-twentieth-century and mid-20th century housing, many parks, and proximity to the central business district of downtown Dallas.

The boundaries of Oak Cliff are roughly Interstate 30 and the Trinity River on the north, Interstate 35E on the east, Camp Wisdom Road on the south, and Cockrell Hill Road on the west.
