East Dallas, also referred to by the East Dallas Chamber of Commerce as the Lake & Garden District,[2] is an expansive area of numerous communities and neighborhoods in Dallas, Texas, United States that border nearby suburban cities to the east such as Garland, Mesquite and Balch Springs.[3][4]

White Rock Lake, located in the center of East Dallas, is considered "the crown jewel of the Dallas parks system". The lake, along with the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden located on the east side of the lake, have strongly influenced and shaped the identity of the East Dallas area.

Geography

[edit]

Overview

Neighborhoods

Due to East Dallas stretching across a large section of the city, the locations of neighborhoods are generally categorized into smaller sub-areas. The neighborhoods in the following sub-areas are considered part of East Dallas:

Often, neighborhoods in East Dallas located west of White Rock Lake are generally grouped under the heading of the Lakewood or the M-Streets area. Lakewood and Greenland Hills (also known as the M-Streets) are themselves neighborhoods of their own; however due to their prominence, the surrounding neighborhoods are generalized as belonging to one of the neighborhoods. Skillman Street is often used as a dividing line between the Greater M-Street and Greater Lakewood areas, as the road is also the dividing line for the 75206 and 75214 zip codes.
