You’ll often hear that Bishop Arts is our Brooklyn. No, it’s a lot cooler. It has the same historic charm and diverse cultural and creative scenes. The live music venues and great restaurants are unrivaled, and you won’t be surprised to see a celebrity or two strolling the streets. But what the Bishop Arts District has that Brooklyn does not is Texans. You won’t meet a stranger here because it’s about the most welcoming community in Dallas.
The streetcar line arrived in Bishop Arts in 1904, and, as with every trolley stop, businesses sprang up to capture the disembarking folks headed from downtown back home. The streetcar ran until 1951, stopping at Bishop and Seventh Avenue, creating one of the busiest trolley stops in the city.
Smart developers over the years saw potential even during economic downturns. This excellent collection of historic buildings was maintained and improved, and in 1990, about 12 acres and 20 buildings of the Bishop Arts District were added to the National Registry of Historic Places.
In 2015, Exxir Capital made a multimillion-dollar investment in mixed-use development, which only increased the area’s desirability. In 2016, some 60 years after the Oak Cliff-to-downtown line closed, the streetcar line re-emerged at Bishop and Zang, and of course, more businesses and apartment complexes sprang up.
It can be challenging to find a house close by and when they do pop up, they go fast. This 1,536-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bathroom 1945 Craftsman was just listed and has been completely renovated. It also has something we seldom see at any price level, a four-car detached garage! Some of the impressive updates, including a new roof, are easy to spot, but it’s nice to know those things that really make a difference have also been taken care of, like a new HVAC system and foundation. Like any Craftsman, however, the main attraction, in addition to all those listed above, is the large front porch. You’ll be inviting those friendly new Texan neighbors up for a drink!
Central Metro Realty has this Bishop Arts District Craftsman at 720 N. Madison Ave. available for $739,000.
