Upper East Side

The large area between Lakewood, Deep Ellum, Arts District, Henderson and Greenville includes many newer neighborhoods like Bryan Place and historical ones such as Munger Place, Peaks Addition, Treemont Addition, Junius Heights, and emerging ones on Ross Avenue. We consider this area slated for redevelopment as the upper east side of east Dallas.  Some of this city’s greatest history and citizens are from this neighborhood and there is a fabulous assortment of one-of-a-kind ethnic and specialty grocery stores.  It is home to Dallas’ only International Baccalaureate public high school, Woodrow Wilson. Students from all over DISD have the opportunity to attend the campus to participate in the rigorous curriculum. See also; Lakewood.
