M Streets is next to Highland Park, another residential, family friendly neighborhood.

Streams and parks disperse throughout. Lakewood is blissfully quiet with low homes, tall trees, and wide streets. Homes have front lawns for water balloon fights.
University Park is a beautiful residential area for families. Houses with stone facades and stately colonials line the streets. The campus of Southern Methodist University sits on the neighborhood’s eastern edge. University Park is in Northern Dallas above Highland Park and Uptown. Drive fifteen minutes to reach the city center. The area is family friendly for its quiet, tree lined streets and green space throughout.
