D Magazine: "On the other side of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, you'll find rolling hills, historic homes, and families bicycling to art class. Nestled within Oak Cliff is Winnetka Heights, a picturesque historic neighborhood that draws urban pioneers looking for something a little different. The Russell Realty Company advertised Winnetka Heights as "Dallas' ideal suburb" back in 1911. The houses are predominantly Arts and Crafts and Prairie structures that started with the best materials, decayed through the '60s, then have been restored more recently. The area became a historic district in 1981--the only Dallas neighborhood listed on the U.S. Registry of Historical Places. These days, Winnetka Heights is a hugely popular restaurant/bar/shopping destination."
