Bryan Place, named after Dallas’ founder, John Neely Bryan, began as a bold vision by developer Fox & Jacobs to create an intimate, neighborly community in the heart of Dallas’ inner city. Built in the early 1980’s, Bryan Place was the first of such in-town East Dallas neighborhoods in a half-century of mass suburbanization. Fox & Jacobs sought to recreate a neighborhood of East Dallas’ past, with little traffic, pedestrian friendly streets and elegant homes within an un-walled community. Even at its conception, the builder was confident there would be lots of revitalization taking place around the neighborhood.

A Modern and Thriving Neighborhood

Since its opening, Bryan Place has thrived in the shadows of the Dallas skyline. If you talk to any of its residents, it is clear that this is a special community. Diverse in every sense, Bryan Place is welcoming, friendly and a real model for what in-town living should be. Fox & Jacobs was right about revitalization taking place in its surroundings. There is a flurry of current and future development in the area to include: the resurfacing of Live Oak Street, revitalization of Ross Avenue through thoughtful review of its Plan for Development, Townhome and Single Family Home developments springing up on every corner, as well as two popular grocery stores planning to develop in the area. Without a doubt, Bryan Place is proud of its urban pioneering past, happy with its present status and excited about its future.
