|  | High-rise living in North Dallas |  | | | | I’ve lived in Preston Tower 25 years and am very familiar with the condos in this area. All are near the great places to shop and dine in Preston Center, which I understand has the greatest concentration of banks of anywhere in the country.
All four high-rises in this area are within walking distance of Tom Thumb Supermarket, pharmacies, post office, and several places of worships.
Although these properties are in the City of Dallas, 8181 Douglas and The Shelton benefit from being in the superlative Highland Park Independent School District.
Although the Valencia Hotel under construction near Northwest Highway and Central was to contain 50 to 70 condos in two towers, I understand this is no longer the case. | | ~ Nancy | | | | |
