North Dallas, Vickery Meadow to Prestonwood

North Dallas is the city beyond the older neighborhoods, spread along Central Expressway and the Dallas North Tollway toward the Collin County line. Vickery Meadow, east of the expressway, lies inside the Midtown Improvement District, formerly the Vickery Meadow Public Improvement District, established in 1993, and the City counts close to twelve thousand apartment units inside it. The older streets of Lake Highlands sit east and north of White Rock Lake. Hamilton Park, ten miles north of downtown, was dedicated in October 1953 and opened in May 1954 as a subdivision for Black families, after white landowners' opposition had defeated earlier sites. 4 guides are listed below.

The school district and the county are the first things to check up here. Prestonwood and Hamilton Park are inside the City of Dallas but in Richardson ISD, whose 2025 rate was 1.1052 per $100 against Dallas ISD's 0.993835, so the property tax arithmetic on this site's calculators, which is built on a Dallas ISD address, does not apply to them as it stands. At the northern edge the city crosses into Collin and Denton counties, which have their own rates and their own appraisal districts. And parts of the north sit inside a public improvement district too: Prestonwood, Lake Highlands, North Lake Highlands and Midtown are all districts the Council renews and sets an assessment for.
