Buckner Terrace: A Gateway to Dallas

Located just five miles east of Downtown Dallas, Buckner Terrace serves as a gateway to the city via two major highways, Interstate 30 and Highway 80. Its strategic location along I-30 provides residents with convenient access to nearly every major highway and interstate in the Dallas Metroplex, making it an ideal place for those who value connectivity and accessibility.

A Rich History

Buckner Terrace occupies what was once farmland owned by the Buckner Orphanage, founded by Dr. Robert Cooke Buckner. In 1959, the orphanage sold part of its holdings to secure much-needed funds for the children under its care. This land was divided into industrial, commercial, and residential areas. According to Dallas County deed records, the Buckner Terrace subdivision was officially established on March 1, 1965, with the deed signed by J.C. Cantrell, Vice President of Buckner Park, Inc.

A Vibrant and Diverse Community

Buckner Terrace is a hidden gem, home to a culturally diverse and welcoming community of professionals, families, and hardworking individuals. The neighborhood is bounded by Interstate 30 to the north, Lawnview Avenue to the west, Forney Road to the south, and Buckner Boulevard/Loop 12 to the east.

The area boasts well-built custom homes constructed between the late 1960s and 1990s. These homes, primarily ranch-style one- and two-story designs, are situated on spacious lots and often feature two- or three-car garages. The neighborhood has grown over the years, with the addition of four gated communities: The Enclave of Grove Hill, The Enclave of Wooded Creek, Tenison Village at Buckner Terrace, and Sereno Oaks at Buckner Terrace. Each community offers custom-built homes that enhance the neighborhood's charm.

Natural Beauty and Urban Proximity

Buckner Terrace is known for its tree-lined streets, shaded by mature oak, magnolia, and pecan trees. From many vantage points, the iconic Dallas skyline peeks through the canopy, adding a touch of urban elegance to this serene community.

Whether you’re drawn by its rich history, diverse population, or convenient location, Buckner Terrace is a neighborhood that offers something for everyone while remaining one of Dallas’s best-kept secrets.
