Getting to North Oak Cliff

We've had numerous questions about how to get to Oak Cliff -- mostly to North Oak Cliff -- so here are some directions ---

Where is Oak Cliff? It is just south of downtown Dallas -- across the Trinity River. The "original" Oak Cliff is pretty much what we now call "North Oak Cliff." North Oak Cliff is where you'll find the historic homes, Bishop Arts District, Kessler Neighborhood, Methodist Hospital, Lake Cliff, the Texas Theater, and lots of oak trees and quiet neighborhoods. Some folks call everything in Dallas south of the Trinity River "Oak Cliff," but in reality that area is made up of a bunch of communities and towns that were gradually absorbed into the city of Dallas. If you include all of that area -- Oak Cliff has about 400,000 people in it and is as big as Buffalo, New York! For more about the history of Oak Cliff, click here.
