Situated between Carrollton and Richardson with Plano at the northernmost border, Far North Dallas rivals Highland Park and University Park when it comes to the most expensive real estate in Dallas, with some homes even listing for $100M. Particularly luxurious areas of Far North Dallas are Northwood Hills, Bent Tree, and Prestonwood.

Northwood Hills – one of Far North Dallas’ premiere neighborhoods, featuring serpentine streets with lots of hills, tall mature trees, and numerous creeks. The hilly, serpentine streets, mature trees, and creeks make the area feel secluded, but Northwood Hills is in a prime location making it simple to jump on LBJ and the Tollway.

Bent Tree – With Bent Tree Country Club at its center, Bent Tree is located along the Dallas County-Collin County border. Bent Tree is home to some of the area’s wealthier residents and the homes for sale around the country club list for prices as high as $5,000,000 for mansions overlooking the golf course. Bent Tree features homes in the English style, French style, soft contemporary style, and traditional style.

Prestonwood – A very suburban Far North Dallas neighborhood, Prestonwood is known for its safety and prime location for frequenting the many restaurants and bars in Addison. Also, thanks to the Tollway, it’s as easy to get to Downtown Dallas as it is Downtown Plano.
