Community Profile ust a few miles southwest of Downtown Dallas you will find the unique and culturally diverse community of Oak Cliff. Oak Cliff derives its name from the massive oak trees and rolling hills that characterize the landscape of this area just across the Trinity River. Oak Cliff offers panoramic views of Downtown and close proximity to all that city life has to offer.
J
As early as 1837 pioneering families settled in this area, but the settlement of William H. Hord and his family in 1845 is generally thought to be the start of what would later become Oak Cliff. Hord and his family opened a boarding house, gradually creating a small farming community that became known as Hord’s Ridge. By 1887, this thriving community had caught the attention of Thomas L. Marsalis and John S. Armstrong, two developers who envisioned great things for this beautiful landscape. The several hundred acres they purchased in and around Hord’s Ridge was transformed into a prestigious residential area and was officially renamed Oak Cliff. Oak Cliff became incorporated as a city in 1890 with a population of 2,470 people. Although Armstrong would later leave the partnership, Thomas Marsalis continued to develop this area and planned a vacation resort that included a fourstory Victorian hotel, an opera house, a zoo and an elevated railway over the Trinity that connected Oak Cliff to the Dallas courthouse. The Panic of 1893 brought Marsalis’ vision to a shuddering halt. With the economy in decline, he was forced to sell the property. Financial hardship caused voters to approve annexation of Oak Cliff into Dallas in 1903, increasing the size of the city of Dallas by one-third. Although Oak Cliff became synonymous with the growing city of Dallas, the physical barrier of the Trinity River continued to give Oak Cliff an identity all its own. Between 1911 and 1920, Oak Cliff saw an increase in its population, with many large houses being built along Oak Cliff’s tree-lined streets and growing interest from developers and business owners alike. Lake Cliff Park was established as an amusement park complete with water rides, a vaudeville parlor, a roller-skating rink, a carousel, six tennis courts and a trolley ride. By 1921, the community was becoming a leading place for
businesses of all kinds. The economic appeals encouraged the establishment of the Oak Cliff and Dallas Commercial Association — an organization that later became the Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce. The Great Depression brought about an economic decline for Oak Cliff. It was during this time that Oak Cliff’s dynamic law-breaking duo, Bonnie and Clyde, began their crime spree throughout Texas and surrounding states. It wasn’t until the end of World War II that Oak Cliff began to attract thousands of new families and businesses again. The Oak Cliff streetcar provided quick access to any part of Dallas during this time and the 820-acre Wynnewood Village became the shopping hub of Oak Cliff. The late 1950s and early 1960s were a dark time for Oak Cliff. The tornado of 1957 devastated many of Oak Cliff’s historic homes. The shock of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, left a dark cloud of sadness on the city of Dallas and Oak Cliff in particular. Accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, himself an Oak Cliff resident, reportedly shot Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippet in Oak Cliff and fled to the nearby Texas Theatre where he was arrested. Despite these events, Oak Cliff continued to grow, and by 1980 redevelopment of the Bishop Arts District, Davis Street, Hampton Road and Fort Worth Avenue brought about a resurgence of many Oak Cliff neighborhoods. Oak Cliff’s historical past is still apparent, from the original city of Oak Cliff on the north to the many smaller communities that became part of Oak Cliff over the years. Today, Oak Cliff’s dynamic community, made up of a blend of Anglos, African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans and Asians, continues to celebrate its great diversity year after year. The strong sense of community spirit is undeniable, with a population that is distinguished by its independence, hard work and unwavering pride for the place they call home.

Government ak Cliff constitutes a significant portion of the City of Dallas — the thirdlargest city in Texas and the ninth-largest city in the country. The City operates under the city manager/city council form of government, which is led by a 15-member City Council. The council is composed of 14 members, elected at large from single-member districts, and the mayor, who is elected by the entire city. Currently, eight council districts oversee portions of the Oak Cliff community.
O
The City maintains two service centers and police operations bureaus in Oak Cliff, as well as its Municipal Center, which houses several City departments and is the primary permitting site for the City of Dallas. An enhanced 911 system has been in place for several years, serving the area’s police, fire and medical emergency needs. The City has also incorporated a 311 system, designed to give citizens easy access to City government in order to report emergencies that are not life threatening in nature. The City is a national leader when it comes to implementing interactive community policing initiatives, and has both mobile police and permanent police storefront operations conveniently located throughout Dallas — including several in Oak Cliff.
Dallas County government is led by the Commissioner’s Court, a governing body consisting of the County Judge (elected at-large) and the four-member County Commissioners (elected from each district). The County maintains a sub courthouse in North Oak Cliff, as well as two additional offices for area Justices of the Peace and Constables.

The Bishop Arts District he lively Bishop Arts District has been an integral facet in the Oak Cliff community since 1903. The district was once regarded as the city’s busiest trolley stop, but lost its glimmer with the discontinuation of the trolley and the changing demographics in the 1960s and 1970s. For nearly 30 years, the area known as the Bishop Arts District was completely inactive, reflected in the numerous boarded up storefronts along its streets.
T
Through the hard work of Jim Lake, Sr. and Mike Morgan, the Bishop Arts District has since been rejuvenated, and today more than 60 local merchants, restaurants, galleries and professional services call the dynamic Bishop Arts District home:

Healthcare ethodist Dallas Medical Center, initially known as simply Dallas Methodist Hospital, was the first hospital to compose the extensive Methodist Health System (MHS) — one of Dallas’ oldest nonprofit health systems. Opened in 1927 as a 100-bed hospital, the facility has transformed into a 515-bed medical center equipped with all private rooms and a medical staff of more than 300 knowledgeable physicians. The hospital is recognized as the chief teaching and referral center for MHS and one of the leading teaching and referral centers in the state. It offers one of only three emergency departments in Dallas to provide trauma care and houses a neonatal ICU that serves as a referral center for more than 30 hospitals in the northern and eastern portions of Texas. The Methodist Dallas Transplant Institute, one of the largest and most active multi-organ transplant centers in the Southwest, and the Sam & Anne Kesner Heart Center are leading centers of excellence at Methodist Dallas Medical Center as well.

University General Hospital (formerly South Hampton Community Hospital) is a publiclyowned, 69-bed general acute care hospital that offers medical services such as bariatrics, cardiovascular services, neurosurgery, podiatry, general medicine & surgery, and much more. University General Hospital was the first hospital to be awarded the JCAHO (Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations) award with no adjustments or recommendations required in hospital services.

LAKE CLIFF TOWER Lake Cliff Tower is located south of the Trinity River, about a mile on the Houston Street viaduct from Downtown Dallas, at the gateway to Oak Cliff. The property looks out on Founders Park and Lake Cliff Park, and every unit has permanently unobstructed views of the lake or downtown.
Lake Cliff Tower, a former luxury hotel built in 1928 at the height of the Roaring '20s prosperity and more recently, a nursing home and decaying vacant high rise - is in the turn the showpiece of what is being called the Oak Cliff gateway, a 60-acre area. Condominuims for lease 1 & 2 bedrooms available. For more information call Amanda Moreno at (214) 435-2664 or email c_k_capital@yahoo.com

Location & Transportation ak Cliff residents, businesses and visitors take pleasure in Oak Cliff’s strategic location within the southwestern quadrant of the City of Dallas and Dallas County — neighboring the thriving suburban cities of Grand Prairie, Duncanville, DeSoto, Lancaster and Hutchins. This ideal locality has helped establish Oak Cliff as a prime place for business, as it is advantageously served by many forms of transportation.
O
Several major multi-lane freeways wind in and around Oak Cliff, offering convenient local and regional commuter travel. I-30 outlines the community’s northern edge, I-20 sits to the south, Loop 12/Spur 408 is found to the west and I-45 traverses the eastern border. I-35, also known as the NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) Highway, and U.S. Highway 67 bisect Oak Cliff, serving the area’s north-south traffic. Supplementing the highway network is a great system of major and minor local thoroughfares, which limit the number of traffic tie-ups in Oak Cliff. The City-operated Dallas Executive Airport is located in the heart of the area, and the public-use elevated historic Heliport/Vertiport is situated in the city’s Central Business District on the south end of the Dallas Convention Center. Both Dallas’ Love Field and the busy Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport are located just 30 minutes from the area. An affordable alternative when it comes to regional travel is offered through Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), which operates light rail operations from South Oak Cliff and West Oak Cliff to downtown Dallas. A superior system of local and express bus routes connect riders to the light rail lines and bus transfer centers. In addition to these options, DART operates a heavy rail line that travels from Dallas’ Union Station to the Fort Worth and Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
Oak Cliff Street Car In 1887, steampowered streetcars could be seen running along over 20 miles of track throughout the Oak Cliff community. Much to the chagrin of the residents, the last streetcar was removed in 1956 to make way for the network of steam engines that had begun to dominate the city. Today there is a movement to revitalize this once historic landmark. On April 27, 2011 Dallas City Council voted to approve the first leg of a streetcar system that will travel from Union Station downtown, across the Houston Street bridge to Colorado and Beckley next to Oak Cliff’s Methodist Hospital. With the support of DART, funding for the streetcar has been secured and plans are in place to have a streetcar up and running by October 2014.

Arts & Entertainment owntown Dallas and its surrounding area is a true cultural mecca, housing exquisite galleries, museums and theaters. Oak Cliff is home to the famed Texas Theatre — opened in April 1931, the theatre served as a lavish gathering spot in the southwest Dallas community. The Texas Theatre on Jefferson Boulevard earned infamous historic recognition on November 22, 1963 after police
D
discovered Lee Harvey Oswald, President John F. Kennedy’s accused assassin, within the theatre. Following years of disrepair, the 12,000-squarefoot theatre was purchased by the Oak Cliff Foundation that began restoration efforts in 2001. The theatre was later sold to Aviation Cinemas who has successfully transformed the theatre back to its former glory. The Kessler Theater on Davis Street has been transformed into a musical venue to rival some of the best jazz and blues venues in North Texas. It has already inspired an original music and documentary film, “Resurrecting the Kessler,” and has hosted many well-known music acts. Similarly, the Bishop Arts Theater Center opened its doors in 2008 with a full season of new and time-honored plays. TeCo Theatrical Productions, under the direction of founder Teresa Coleman Wash, operates the theater. The venue features a proscenium theater with 170 seats, an art gallery, an arts business incubator center and a learning laboratory. Located just off US 67 is the International Museum of Cultures (IMC), a unique cultural anthropology museum. IMC features the lifestyles of contemporary peoples
from across the globe through a range of interesting exhibits. Interactive displays from Africa, Southeast Asia, New Guinea, China, Mexico and Native America line the walls of the IMC. Oak Cliff hosts a multitude of both cultural and community-friendly events every year. Prominent Hispanic holidays such as Cinco de Mayo and Dies y Seis de Septiembre are widely celebrated with parades along Jefferson Boulevard, and Fiestas welcome all residents and visitors of the area to participate. African American Kwanzaa festivities, presented the seven days after the Christmas holiday, are also part of the annual events calendar of Oak Cliff.

Parks, Recreation & Golf
he landscape of Oak Cliff showcases numerous park sites, including friendly neighborhood parks, historic regional parks, smaller pocket parks and greenbelts, which are equipped with amenities such as swimming pools, playgrounds, picnic areas, walking trails and more.
T
In memoriam to his late wife, Elizabeth Patterson Kiest, Edwin Kiest — publisher of the Dallas Times Herald — donated 247 acres of land to the City of Dallas for use as a regional park. Over the years, Kiest Park has transformed into one of the city’s finest and most popular parks. Today, the park features ball and soccer fields, a tennis center, a swimming pool, a recreation trail complete with exercise paths, a playground with accommodations for handicapped children, a recreation center, a pavilion, a picnic area and the 2.5-acre Kiest Memorial Garden. Established in 1938 with funds bequeathed by Dr. W. W. Samuell, the rustic, 16-acre Founders Park encompasses the beautiful Cliff Towers of 1926 and Founders Plaza (added in 1974). The park meets with Lake Cliff Park to the south, showcasing a 44acre park and lake overlooking the Downtown Dallas skyline. Kidd Springs Park is another historic park site in the area featuring 31 acres of land, a small spring-fed lake and an oriental garden. Since its opening in 1989, Joe Pool Lake has become a favorite destination for outdoor enthusiasts in the Dallas-Forth Worth Metroplex. Lynn Creek Marina, Joe Pool Marina, and seven boat ramps are scattered around the lake, serving the lake’s fishers and boaters. The 1,826-acre Cedar Hill State Park lines the northeast corner of Joe Pool Lake and offers more than 300 campsites with hundreds of picnic tables and barbeque pits. Lynn Creek State Park, a day-use area, is located along the northwestern portion of the lake and offers boat access, a beach area, picnic sites and sand volleyball courts. The 791-acre Loyd Park supplies boat ramps, campsites, hiking and equestrian trails, picnic facilities, a softball field and a volleyball court, while Britton Park is primarily utilized for access to the southernmost parts of Joe Pool Lake.
Oak Cliff is also a great place for golfers of all skill levels. The area hosts two fine municipal golf courses — Cedar Crest Golf Course (voted Golf Digest’s 2008-2009 Best Places to Play) and the newly renovated Stevens Park Golf Club — along with the beautiful Golf Club of Dallas, which has been the past site of several PGA and senior tournaments. Dallas National Golf Club is a newer addition to the golf offerings of Oak Cliff. Opened in spring 2002, this exclusive private golf club, situated on the west side of Oak Cliff, was designed by world-renowned designer Tom Fasio and has earned recognition as Golf Digest’s 2007-2008 America’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses and 2007-2008 Best Courses in the State. The Trinity River Corridor Project has been noted as one of the most monumental public works and urban redevelopment projects ever attempted. More than $1 billion in infrastructure is planned for the corridor, which runs along one side of Oak Cliff. Residents and visitors will be able to take advantage of new parks, lakes, multi-use trails, an interpretive center and further recreational amenities. The establishment of the Trinity River Corridor will ultimately enhance the quality of life for this generation and for those to come.
In addition to the parks and lakes of Oak Cliff are a number of recreation centers where children and adults can access an exhaustive list of engaging sports and recreational activities. The Oak Cliff Family YMCA is a prominent resource for recreation, education and culture in the community.

Education ak Cliff residents take advantage of the outstanding educational opportunities found through Dallas Independent School District, the 12th largest public school district in the U.S. Approximately 16,000 students are enrolled in one of 225 schools composing the district, with more than 21,000 employees making up the staff and faculty — making it one of the largest employers in Dallas.
O
Voters passed a $1.37 billion building program that has resulted in the addition of 20 new school facilities and more than 1,500 classrooms, plus major renovations to its existing school buildings. The results of this major investment include smaller student-to-teacher ratios, advanced technology in technology and science labs, and ultimately an enhanced learning environment for students. Through this bond program, the Oak Cliff area has received five new elementary schools and one new middle school, along with renovations and/or additions to already established facilities — including W.H. Adamson High School, one of the oldest schools in the city. In addition to the Dallas ISD, a small portion of southeastern Oak Cliff is served by the Wilmer Hutchins School District, and several neighborhoods in the southwest section of Oak Cliff enroll in the Duncanville Independent School District. Supporting the success of Dallas Independent School District and more than a dozen other public school systems in the area is Dallas County Schools. This entity stands as a school district/governmental agency designed to provide invaluable assistance to more than 425,000 students in Dallas County, including transportation, instructional media, and psychological and technology related services. A host of excellent charter schools and private institutions are readily available to pre-kindergarten through high school students as well. Oak Cliff is home to La Academia de Estrellas, an excellent kindergarten through 7th grade public charter school that has plans to add 8th grade in the near future; the J. Erik Jonsson Community School, a nonprofit facility available for three year olds through 5th grade students; and the Dallas Can! Academy for at-risk high school students.

Economic Development
Editorial by Linda Brown, Economic Strategic Solutions he city of Dallas foresees continual growth in the area and is working to add new employment opportunities and residents in the coming years. The City’s Comprehensive Plan projects that another 200,000 households and 400,000 jobs will be added by the year 2030. Dallas is directing this growth into new developments and redevelopment sites throughout the area — including its southern sector.
T
In the last few years, Oak Cliff has become a focal point for development in Dallas, as City officials have realized that further growth should be concentrated on the southern end of Dallas — an area that offers large tracts of quality, developable land and a viable workforce population. Oak Cliff has experienced an upward trend in its economic vitality over the last decade or so, when the
City of Dallas placed heavy emphasis on southern sector development. Infrastructure improvements, including the interchange at I-30 and Cockrell Hill Road and access roads, as well as proposals for new access roads along portions of I-20 in South Oak Cliff, are opening up accessibility and vast tracts of open land for new development. The 900-acre Pinnacle Park, the Mountain Creek area and the Dallas Executive Airport are all experiencing expansion initiatives by the City. Stonebridge Office Park, Southport, and across Cockrell Hill Road are prime industrial parks, and further tenants are expected for the business parks that have been developed on the other side of I-30 over the last 10plus years. Other smaller industrial and business parks dot the map of the area, with many still offering vacant land to potential developers. Prime land is also available for development within the Gateway area of Oak Cliff — including the old Burnett Field site adjacent to the great Trinity River Corridor.
Plans for the expansive Trinity River Corridor continue to progress. For years, the Trinity River has served as a barrier between the northern and southern communities of Dallas. In 1998, Dallas voters approved a $246 million bond issue for this significant urban development effort. The institution of the Trinity River Corridor Project in Dallas is vital, as it will address a number of regional concerns, including flood protection, environmental management, recreation, transportation and community/economic development. The initial $246 million investment is expected to advance the venture of the additional $1 billion available. In the center of the Trinity River Corridor stands the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, designed by internationally renowned architect, sculptor, and engineer, Santiago Callatrava. The bridge connects the north and south sides of Dallas (connecting Oak Cliff with Downtown) by linking the banks of the Trinity River.

Worship he blossoming community spirit and extraordinary amount of diversity emanating from Oak Cliff neighborhoods is an impressive feature not found in many places. This attribute is distinct in the area’s rich spiritual community, which is represented by an array of houses of worship. In fact, Tenth Street in Oak Cliff was at one time listed in the Guinness Book of Records as having the country’s largest concentration of churches along one street. While that most likely does not ring true today, people from all walks of life are still sure to find a place of worship. Small fellowships and larger congregations sit side-by-side in Oak Cliff, many of which have been rooted in the community for more than a century.
