Architecturally and Historically Significant Homes in University Park

When SMU opened in 1915 University Park, Texas began with the president's house on University and a few faculty homes close by. By 1924 the population grew to 1,200 and it was incorporated. There are many distinct neighborhoods in University Park, but the range of homes can be seen by the small houses and duplexes close to SMU, to the golf course setting of St. Andrews to the one and two acre lots of Volk Estates.

With a population of approximately 20,000, the shops of Snider Plaza, the Park Cities swimming pool, the YMCA and many churches, University Park, Texas is like many old suburbs across the country with the exception that it is in the middle of Dallas and the Highland Park School District.
