Vickery Place Dallas Neighborhood |
| Vickery Place is a popular Dallas neighborhood and one of the oldest. It is distinguished by mature trees, many are pecans and filled with bungalows, Prairie and Craftsman architecture and some modern homes.
Vickery Place was created in 1911 with 500 lots. It is bounded by North Central Expressway on the west, Goodwin Avenue on the east and by Greenville Avenue. Vickery Place Conservation District was approved by the Dallas City Council in 2006 by a concerted community effort to halt the destruction of historic homes and the construction of larger houses inappropriate for the neighborhood. |
