Location & Transportation
Oak Cliff residents, businesses and visitors take pleasure in its strategic location within the southwestern quadrant of the city of Dallas and Dallas County—neighboring the thriving suburban cities of Grand Prairie, Duncanville, DeSoto, Lancaster and Hutchins. This ideal locality has helped establish Oak Cliff as a prime place for business, as it is advantageously served by many forms of transportation.
Several major multi-lane freeways wind in and around Oak Cliff, offering convenient local and regional commuter travel.
I-30 outlines the community’s northern edge, I-20 sits to the south, Loop 12/Spur 408 is found to the west and I-45 traverses the eastern border. I-35, also known as the NAFTA Highway, and U.S. Highway 67 bisect Oak Cliff, serving the area’s north-south traffic. Supplementing the highway network is a great system of major and minor local thoroughfares, which have limited the number of traffic tie-ups in Oak Cliff.
The city-operated Dallas Executive Airport is located in the heart of the area, and the public-use, elevated Dallas Heliport/Vertiport is situated in the city’s Central Business District. Both Dallas’ Love Field and the busy Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport are located just 30 minutes from the area.
An affordable alternative when it comes to regional travel is offered through Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), which operates light rail operations from South Oak Cliff and West Oak Cliff to downtown Dallas. A superior system of local and express bus routes connect riders to the light rail lines and bus transfer centers. In addition to these options, DART operates a heavy rail line that travels from Dallas’ Union Station to the Fort Worth and Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport
