These pastoral Preston Hollow estate neighborhoods within eight miles of downtown can be traced back to the acquisition John Howell of Mississippi made from the Peters Colony in 1844 near Cochran Chapel. These 546 acres were patented by the state of Texas on June 15, 1857. Over the next 100 years this remote piece of land made of creeks, woods and hollows gradually began to develop as the Dallas neighborhood we now know as Preston Hollow.

Whether you are looking for Bluffview Real Estate or Bluffview homes for sale, you will have several specific neighborhoods of winding streets and dramatic topography from which to choose. Bluffview Estate Area is formed by 6 charming and stately neighborhoods: Bluffview, Cochran Chapel, Shorecrest, Inwood Park Estates, Inwood Terrace and Northwest Hills.

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