Greenland Hills | M Streets

Greenland Hills, affectionately known as the M Streets, is a neighborhood that captures the essence of early 20th-century charm. With its streets shaded by mature oak and pecan trees and distinctive Tudor-style homes that hark back to the 1920s. This enclave was envisioned as one of Dallas’s inaugural upscale suburbs, where each residence, while adhering to a cohesive aesthetic, boasts unique architectural features, ensuring no two homes are identical. This design philosophy has allowed Greenland Hills to preserve its allure nearly a century later, embodying a timeless appeal.

Strategically positioned east of 75 Central Expressway and south of Mockingbird Lane, Greenland Hills comprises over 1,200 homes. The neighborhood’s moniker, the M-Streets, stems from the majority of its streets starting with “M” — McCommas, Mercedes, Merrimac, Morningside, Monticello, lending it a distinctive identity.

Residents enjoy the benefits of a walkable community with easy access to Lower Greenville, the scenic trails of the Katy Trail, the vibrant Knox-Henderson, and the community-focused Glencoe Park. The area is a hub of activity, offering a broad spectrum of dining, shopping, and nightlife options, alongside parks and hiking trails that promote an active lifestyle.

The completion of the Mockingbird Pedestrian Bridge enhances connectivity, linking Greenland Hills with an expansive network of hike and bike trails extending from Glencoe Park to White Rock Lake and downtown Dallas via the Katy Trail.

The M Streets Conservation District plays a pivotal role in maintaining the neighborhood’s historical integrity, safeguarding the architectural details that define its character — from stained glass windows to original hardwood floors. Therefore, the residents of Greenland Hills cherish their community’s quaint atmosphere, seamlessly blending small-town warmth with the cultural and conveniences of urban Dallas.
