Houzeo’s data-driven guide provides essential insights into Austin’s most competitive neighborhoods to help buyers move with confidence in 2026.
DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, February 24, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Houzeo, America’s best home buying and selling website, has launched its new Best Places in Dallas to Live Rankings for 2026. It offers buyers a data-driven view of the best neighborhoods in Dallas, TX. The newly released page evaluates the city’s most desirable neighborhoods using housing prices, rental trends, and local demand indicators.
The rankings rely on market-focused metrics such as median home values, typical rents, active inventory, and neighborhood livability signals. Employment strength and job stability are sourced from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, cost-of-living benchmarks from C2ER, and housing and income figures from Houzeo and the U.S. Census Bureau. Together, these data points surface the best places to live in Dallas based on real housing conditions and how residents experience the city every day.
Preston Hollow tops the 2026 rankings as the best neighborhood to live in Dallas. Located north of Downtown, this prestigious area is renowned for its large estates, quiet streets, and privacy. It primarily attracts executives and established families seeking an upscale environment near major employment hubs. The median home price is $2.2M, and the typical rental home averages around $3,371, reflecting its luxury positioning and long-term housing stability.
Next in the rankings, Lakewood, Lower Greenville, and East Dallas are among Dallas’s other strongest-performing neighborhoods. Lakewood carries a median home price of $1.3M, followed by Lower Greenville at $865,000. East Dallas records a median home price of $786,000, underscoring their premium positioning, neighborhood appeal, and consistent buyer demand.
Lake Highlands remains a top choice for buyers seeking long-term stability in the Dallas market. Known for its mid-century architecture and mature tree canopy, the neighborhood offers a unique balance of affordability and high livability. Interest in homes for sale in Lake Highlands remains high, fueled by the area’s solid school performance, safety, and convenient access to the US-75 and I-635 corridors.
Highland Park represents the top tier of Dallas real estate, defined by luxury estates, manicured streets, and nationally ranked schools. Here, families and established buyers fuel the demand for Highland Park homes for sale. These are the ones who prioritize safety, education quality, and long-term value retention within minutes of Uptown and Downtown Dallas.
The findings also show how Dallas neighborhoods align with different life stages. Families consistently favor Lakewood and Preston Hollow for school quality, safety, and housing stability. Young professionals are most drawn to Uptown and Lower Greenville for walkability, nightlife, and proximity to employment hubs. Retirees often prefer East Dallas and North Oak Cliff for their quieter pace, healthcare access, and community-oriented living.
