Bluffview Estate Neighborhoods



Bluffview is the estate area neighborhood most know for its topography and winding streets. Gracious estate homes are set on hilltops, and contemporary architects have the terrain, creeks and ravines, as settings for the modern homes they design.

Whether you are looking for a Preston Hollow home for sale or specifically for a Bluffview home for sale you will enjoy this charming and more informal look of Bluffview.

Where most neighborhoods were developed out of flat plains or cotton farms, Bluffview was developed from the dramatic topography of a dairy farm. In 1924 John P. Stevens, a developer, who in the late 1800s owned the ornate frame mansion at 4103 Swiss Avenue and was also responsible for Stevens Park in Oak Cliff, bought a 215 acre dairy farm along the 50 foot bluffs of Bachman Creek.

Stevens developed this farm into one acre lots of Preston Hollow real estate along the creeks, streams and tributaries of Bachman Creek that laced the rolling terrain of the neighborhood he dedicated as Bluffview.
