University Park Homes for Sale

Bordered by the city of Dallas on the north and east and Highland Park to the south, University Park was originally named because of its location adjacent to Southern Methodist University. SMU officially opened its doors in 1915 and homes were built around the campus to house teachers and staff of the university- thus creating the first residents of University Park. Like its neighbor Highland Park, University Park is a city within the municipality of Dallas.  Together Highland Park and University Park form the Park Cities, which share Highland Park Independent School District.  Highland Park High School is located within the city limits of University Park. The city's reputation for quality, upscale housing is unmatched. Its location makes access to all of Dallas' amenities at its residents fingertips.  This small 3.7 square mile community offers high end, upscale suburban living in the virtual core of a major metropolitan area.
