About Preston Hollow

Traced to 1850s land grants and dairy farms, Preston Hollow was developed in the 1920s and 1930s by Ira P. DeLoache, who carved residential lots from a former farm. Incorporated as an independent municipality in 1939, its town hall operated out of DeLoache's real estate office—now known as "Ebby's Little White House"—before Dallas annexed the town in 1945. Preston Hollow is defined by its tree-lined, curbless streets, sprawling estate lots, and diverse architecture. Notable landmarks include the 1938 Crespi Estate designed by Maurice Fatio, Tudor homes by Charles Dilbeck, and the John Gillin Residence, Frank Lloyd Wright’s only Dallas design. Renowned for its privacy, this prestigious enclave has attracted high-profile residents, including former President George W. Bush, business magnate Ross Perot, and entrepreneur Mark Cuban.

The neighborhood is defined by its quiet, tree-lined streets and a mix of traditional residential estates and newer construction. While the area maintains a serene atmosphere, it benefits from a well-established sidewalk network that connects residents to local retail and community hubs. The landscape is characterized by manicured properties and private pools, contributing to a visual appeal that stands out within the broader Dallas metropolitan area. Residents enjoy a stable environment that blends residential privacy with convenient access to major thoroughfares.

Prospective residents should consider that while the neighborhood is primarily residential, its proximity to major transit corridors results in moderate road noise. Although iHuus data indicates high marks for walkability, the area remains largely car-dependent for daily errands. Educational options are varied, ranging from top-tier elementary schools to local high schools, making it a destination for families seeking a stable, long-term community.
