Preston Hollow’s roots trace back to the 1850s, when the first settlers received land grants for what was then open farmland north of Dallas. What began as a modest collection of farms and fields was eventually incorporated as its own town in November 1939, centered around the intersection of Northwest Highway and Preston Road, a neighborhood so desirable it outgrew its own boundaries. Today, what was once rural dairyland has become one of the most sought-after addresses in Dallas, known equally for its privacy and its proximity to the city’s finest dining, shopping, and cultural institutions.
