East Dallas

East Dallas, also referred to by the East Dallas Chamber of Commerce as the Lake & Garden District, is an expansive area of numerous communities and neighborhoods in Dallas, Texas, United States that border nearby suburban cities to the east such as Garland, Mesquite and Balch Springs.

White Rock Lake, located in the center of East Dallas, is considered "the crown jewel of the Dallas parks system". The lake, along with the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden located on the east side of the lake, have strongly influenced and shaped the identity of the East Dallas area.

East Dallas is bounded by Northwest Highway on the north, Garland and Mesquite on the east, Interstate 30 on the south, and Central Expressway on the west. East Dallas touches Highland Park, University Park, and Uptown on the west, North Dallas and Lake Highlands on the north, Garland and Mesquite on the east, and South and Southeast Dallas on the south.

Due to East Dallas stretching across a large section of the city, the locations of neighborhoods are generally categorized into smaller sub-areas. The neighborhoods in the following sub-areas are considered part of East Dallas:

West of White Rock Lake and north of Old East Dallas, neighborhoods are generally grouped under the heading of the Lakewood or the M-Streets/Greenville areas. Lakewood and Greenland Hills (also known as the M-Streets) are themselves neighborhoods of their own; however due to their prominence, the surrounding neighborhoods are generalized as belonging to one of the neighborhoods. Skillman Street is often used as a dividing line between the two areas, as the road is also the dividing line for the 75206 and 75214 zip codes.

The Lakewood area is located between Skillman Street on the west and White Rock Lake on the east.

The White Rock area is located east of White Rock Lake, bounded by the Santa Fe railroad tracks to the southeast.

Far East Dallas encompasses the portion of East Dallas located beyond the Santa Fe railroad tracks, stretching to the city limits of Garland and Mesquite.
