What does it actually cost to live in Greenway Parks, Dallas in 2026?

What does it actually cost to live in Greenway Parks in 2026? Redfin's neighborhood page put the median sale price at $1,259,562 in June 2026, up 35.4% from a year earlier, with most single-family homes listed between roughly $800,000 and $2.2 million. That headline number hides a wide spread. The five most recent closings Redfin shows range from $620,000 to $2.3 million, and the reason has less to do with the market than with how this small neighborhood was built.
Greenway Parks is about 150 acres in North Dallas, bounded by Mockingbird Lane, Inwood Road, University Boulevard, and the Dallas North Tollway, and it sits next to Highland Park and University Park. It is a place where the plan of the streets matters as much as the house on the lot.
A neighborhood drawn around its green space
The National Register of Historic Places nomination on file with the Texas Historical Commission records that Frank Neal Drane and J.P. Stephenson bought 150 acres in 1925 and developed Greenway Parks with designer David R. Williams. His plan set shared greenways, 100 to 150 feet wide, between blocks of houses, with many homes facing the greenway instead of the street. The district holds more than 23 acres of parks and open space and, per the nomination, 292 houses built mainly between 1927 and 1959.
That history carries real weight today. According to Wikipedia, Greenway Parks was designated Conservation District No. 10 in May 2003 and listed on the National Register in January 2008, one of 24 such districts in Dallas. A conservation district sets building and renovation standards, so anyone planning an addition or a rebuild should confirm what is allowed before making an offer, not after. Our guide to deed restrictions in Texas covers the related question of what a deed can limit.
The streets and the architecture
The nomination breaks the housing stock down by style: roughly 30% Colonial Revival, 20% Ranch, and 12% Tudor Revival, with Spanish Eclectic, French Eclectic, Monterey, Minimal Traditional, and Mid-Century Modern examples mixed in. By decade, about 38% of the homes date to the 1950s and 30% to the 1940s. Architects named in the nomination include O'Neil Ford, Charles Dilbeck, Howard Meyer, and Hal Thomson.
Of the 292 houses, 215 are counted as contributing to the district and 77 are not, which is why you will see original mid-century homes beside newer construction on the same block. The main streets include Montrose, Waneta, Nakoma, and Wenonah, with the eight greenways running east to west between them.

What recent sales show
Redfin's recently sold page lists these closings. Redfin's boundary for Greenway Park appears broader than the historic district, since some addresses sit on streets such as Morton Street and Robin Road, so read the table as a view of the surrounding market and not as district-only data.
| Address | Sold | Price | Beds / baths | Square feet | Price per sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7615 Morton St | Aug 14, 2026 | $2,300,000 | 5 / 6 | 4,590 | about $501 |
| 7307 Morton St | Aug 14, 2026 | $1,750,000 | 4 / 3.5 | 3,995 | about $438 |
| 4823 Linnet Ln | Jul 10, 2026 | $1,195,000 | 3 / 3 | 2,876 | about $416 |
| 7807 Robin Rd | Aug 14, 2026 | $650,000 | 3 / 1 | 952 | about $683 |
| 4415 W University Blvd | Jul 31, 2026 | $620,000 | 3 / 2.5 | 2,837 | about $219 |
The 952-square-foot home at $650,000 and the 2,837-square-foot home at $620,000 are the useful pair. Price per square foot swings from about $219 to $683, which suggests lot, location, and condition drive value here more than house size does. A strong year-over-year median also reflects which homes happened to sell in a given month, so I treat one figure as a starting point and compare specific properties.
