Inside Uptown
Uptown covers less than one square mile between Woodall Rodgers Freeway, US 75 and the Katy Trail, and it packs in high-rise condos, townhomes, apartments, offices, restaurants and the West Village shopping area. The free M-Line trolley runs along McKinney Avenue to downtown, which is why Uptown fits buyers who want to walk to dinner, work in the urban core, or keep a lock-and-leave home base in Dallas. For sellers, that same buyer pool includes relocation clients, downsizers and investors.
The lesson here is that the building matters as much as the unit. In a condo, your monthly cost includes HOA dues that can cover very different things from one tower to the next, and Uptown also sits inside a public improvement district with its own assessment. Before you write an offer, I get the HOA budget, reserve information and resale certificate, and I check the PID status for the address, because two units at the same price can carry very different monthly costs.

Uptown addresses in Dallas ISD paid about 2.23% combined for tax year 2025 before exemptions, based on Dallas County Tax Office rates. Properties inside the Uptown PID also pay a PID assessment set each year by the City Council, so I confirm the PID status and current assessment for the specific address.
