The History
How Bluffview came to be.
The story behind this luxury neighborhood, in plain language, as the Sharcom Realty Group team tells it to buyers who are just starting their search. Dates and figures are approximate and drawn from public histories; verify specifics before you rely on them.
Bluffview was launched in 1924 as Bluff View Estates, carved from a dairy farm along Bachman Creek and platted into one-acre lots on dramatic bluffs west of downtown Dallas.
Early homes were designed by celebrated architects, and the neighborhood's winding lanes, creek crossings and wooded bluffs made it one of Dallas' most romantic addresses.
It was annexed by Dallas in the 1940s but has kept its distinct character ever since.
