Old Preston Hollow
Inside Dallas’s Premier Luxury Enclave

Old Preston Hollow is one of Dallas’s most established and exclusive enclaves. With sprawling estates set on wooded lots and a history tied to the city’s most prominent figures, this neighborhood has long represented the pinnacle of Dallas luxury real estate. Its tree-lined streets and private, gated compounds provide the rare blend of tranquility and convenience that affluent buyers seek.

Old Preston Hollow is generally considered the area bounded by Walnut Hill Lane, Preston Road, Northwest Highway, and Midway Road. This section distinguishes itself from Preston Hollow East, West, and North by offering the largest lots and the most prestigious addresses. Its central location places it minutes from the Dallas North Tollway, Preston Center, and Dallas Love Field Airport.

Originally developed in the early 20th century, Preston Hollow began as its own municipality before being annexed into Dallas in 1945. Old Preston Hollow quickly became a destination for Dallas’s most influential residents, from political leaders to business executives. The neighborhood’s legacy of prominence continues today, as many of Dallas’s most notable families still reside here.

Properties in Old Preston Hollow are defined by scale, privacy, and architectural variety:

• Expansive Lots: Often 1 to 6 acres, with mature trees, creeks, and landscaped grounds.
  
• Architectural Styles: Traditional stone and brick estates, Mediterranean villas, and sleek modern builds.
  
• Privacy Features: Gated entrances, long driveways, and high walls are common.
  
• Legacy Estates: Some homes have historical significance, while others have been replaced with custom estates that meet modern expectations.
  

These features make Old Preston Hollow one of the few places in Dallas where land, architecture, and prestige converge.

Living in Old Preston Hollow offers more than luxury homes:

• Proximity to Top Private Schools: Families benefit from access to the prestigious Preston Hollow private school corridor, including St. Mark’s, Hockaday, Ursuline, Jesuit, and Episcopal School of Dallas.
  
• Convenient Access: Minutes to Downtown Dallas, Love Field, and Highland Park Village.
  
• Cultural and Social Hubs: Fine dining and luxury retail at Preston Center, NorthPark Center, and Inwood Village.

Old Preston Hollow is synonymous with prestige. Over the decades, it has been home to U.S. presidents, Fortune 500 executives, and household names in business and philanthropy. The neighborhood’s reputation endures because it offers something rare: true privacy within the city. Properties here rarely come to market, and many transactions occur quietly, off the MLS.

• Price Ranges: Most estates start around $5M and can exceed $20M+.
  
• Inventory: Limited availability, with many properties sold as Compass Private Exclusives or through discreet networks.
  
• Value Drivers: Lot size and location carry as much weight as architecture and finishes.
