Alive with energy and rich in diversity, Dallas Texas is a dynamic city mixed with a sense of imagination, talent and first-class attractions that makes it a world-class city. Home to a vibrant economy, beautiful surroundings and a population full of optimism and spirit, it's no wonder that Dallas is a popular international destination.

The rich, ethnic diversity of Dallas can be clearly seen in its myriad of neighborhoods. From the majestic, historic mansions of Swiss Avenue to the tree-lined streets of Oak Cliff, neighborhoods in Dallas are as varied in their scenery as in their population. Protecting the integrity of Dallas neighborhoods falls to many city departments, and to the people who live in them.
