Questions People Ask

How long is the commute from Oak Cliff to downtown Dallas?

Downtown Dallas is 9.1 mi from this address and about 16 min off peak. That figure is a free flow estimate on posted speeds with no traffic, so a weekday morning will run longer. The route heads northeast across the Trinity toward the city center.

Can you take the train to downtown Dallas from southwest Dallas?

Not easily from this address. The nearest rail is the Blue Line at Camp Wisdom Station, 8.3 mi away, and it is not walkable from the property. Reaching the train means driving to it first. Treat this as a driving address and check Dallas Area Rapid Transit routes against your own commute before relying on them.

What are the largest employers near Oak Cliff?

UT Southwestern Medical Center reports a workforce of more than 25,000 and is 8.8 mi away. Methodist Dallas Medical Center is closer at 7.2 mi and serves the Oak Cliff community. Downtown Dallas at 9.1 mi is the largest single concentration of work within reach.

Is there work in Oak Cliff itself, or do you have to commute out?

Both. The Shops at RedBird, 3.7 mi away, combines retail, health services and workplaces after a 200 million dollar redevelopment. Mountain View College is a Dallas College campus and an employer at 3.6 mi. Dallas Executive Airport, the city owned general aviation field, is 3.4 mi. Methodist Dallas Medical Center is 7.2 mi. The larger concentrations are downtown and in the medical district.
