M Streets & Lower Greenville Luxury Real Estate
Historic charm meets elevated living in East Dallas
The M Streets and Lower Greenville area blends timeless architecture, walkable streets, and an unmistakable neighborhood feel—making it a standout destination for luxury homebuyers seeking East Dallas living with character. Just minutes from Downtown Dallas, White Rock Lake, and the Park Cities, this area offers a refined yet relaxed lifestyle, rooted in history and elevated by thoughtful preservation and modern design.
Where the M Streets Name Comes From and How It’s Evolved
The “M Streets” name originates from a series of tree-lined streets in the Greenland Hills neighborhood – McCommas, Mercedes, Morningside, Monticello, and Merrimac – that were developed in the 1920s and are now protected under a Dallas conservation district. These streets are known for their signature Tudor architecture, brick façades, and architectural integrity.
Over time, the term “M Streets” has come to describe a broader section of East Dallas, including nearby neighborhoods that share similar architectural appeal, walkability, and lifestyle—such as Vickery Place, Belmont Addition, and parts of Lower Greenville. While not technically part of the original M Streets, these adjacent neighborhoods offer many of the same qualities that luxury buyers are seeking in this area.
