The Cedars, South Dallas and Pleasant Grove

The Cedars sits just south of downtown, below Interstate 30, and South Dallas spreads east around Fair Park, which the city bought in 1904 and which became the site of the Texas Centennial Exposition in 1936. Wheatley Place and South Boulevard-Park Row are City historic districts inside it. Pleasant Grove, out to the southeast, was a small community with a school and a store whose population grew from 120 to 3,500 between 1943 and 1952 as houses went up after the war, and Dallas annexed it piece by piece until all of it was inside the city by 1962. 3 guides are listed below.

The appraisal district's value is the figure to check here as everywhere, because the tax is charged on it and the protest is the owner's to file every spring. The flood map matters too: the Trinity is Pleasant Grove's southern edge, and south of downtown it runs past levees the City built in the 1990s. And the City's own homebuyer loan is capped at a sale price of $342,000, below the city's median single-family sale, with its larger amount reserved for homes in the areas the City designates as High Opportunity Areas.
