Preston Hollow, Residential district in North Dallas, United States.
Preston Hollow is a residential district in the northern part of Dallas, Texas, known for large estate properties and tree-lined streets. The houses are often set back behind hedges or walls, giving the area a quiet and secluded character.
In the 1920s, Ira P. DeLoache purchased a farm and began developing residential lots with architect Charles Dilbeck. This development gradually transformed the farmland into a district of estates for wealthy buyers.
Throughout the district, private schools such as St. Mark's School of Texas and Ursuline Academy serve families and anchor neighborhood life. These institutions reflect the area's long-standing emphasis on education and community ties.
Preston Road, Dallas North Tollway, and Northwest Highway run through the area, giving drivers quick connections to downtown. Visitors can drive along the main roads to get a sense of the spread-out layout of the estates.
Several well-known figures live here, including former President George W. Bush and business leaders such as Ross Perot and Mark Cuban. Their presence has given the district a particular reputation, though the properties themselves are rarely visible from the street.
