    Move Right In

    Vintage-inspired apartments in Bishop Arts add unique flair to Dallas

    CultureMap Create
    Oct 10, 2018 | 1:00 pm

    Artistic expression meets an eclectic spirit at Novel Bishop Arts, a new apartment community designed to inspire with its location, amenities, and overall vibe.

    With funky style and the conveniences of a new build, it's all about the lifestyle here. From lounging by the guitar-shaped pool (Stevie Ray Vaughan once lived nearby) to ordering up a flat white from the coffee shop downstairs, that lifestyle is anything but boring.

    Here are five ways Novel Bishop Arts ups the ante for home-grown living in North Oak Cliff:

    1. It's all about location
    The secret is out about Bishop Arts, and this historic district offers more than 60 independent restaurants, bars, cafes, and retail shops. Novel Bishop Arts fits into the area seamlessly with its inclusive architecture, featuring the best elements of past and present.

    This is where to live when you're ready to ditch chain restaurants and cookie‐cutter box stores for local, distinctive flavor and community activities. That can include hanging out with neighbors in the piazza downstairs or walking to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

    2. Luxe Craftsman interiors
    The units will have you saying yes to luxury living, with their wood-style floors; brushed brass fixtures; and high-end bathrooms (love the hex-tile floors, designer tile showers, soaking tubs, and quartz counters). Modern Craftsman kitchens feature two-tone gray and white cabinetry, premium appliances, retro-style backsplash, quartz counters, built-in USB ports, and oversized islands in most units. In the bedrooms, you'll find walk-in closets with built-in shelving and wood rods, and nearly all apartments also have crafted conveniences like desktop niches and built-ins.

    In select units, huge Craftsman porches frame walk-out views of the Dallas skyline, and every unit comes with same-level access in a secured, above-grade parking garage with tech-enabled keyless entry.

    3. Enviable amenities
    The vibe here is modern vintage with an eclectic Texas twist, and the common areas reflect that. Think brick, metal, penny tile, and rich woods next to pieces commissioned from local artists and antiques sourced from creative places.

    A tavern-style clubhouse is made for entertaining, with a full catering kitchen and resident lounge. A resident courtyard centers on the guitar-shaped pool, with grilling stations, petanque court, and covered dining area. Other perks include a decked-out fitness center, reserved bike storage and bike workshop, and the Lake Cliff Sky Terrace, which offers a breathtaking view of downtown Dallas that you won't find anywhere else.

    4. Roommates welcome
    With 22 floorplans on six levels, Novel Bishop Arts' apartments range from 569 to 1,430 square feet. In addition to studio and one-bedroom apartments, there are two-bedroom layouts that work great for roommates. With communal spaces like mudrooms and oversized balconies in select layouts, there's plenty of room for everybody's stuff. Another roommate favorite? Each unit comes with a front-loading washer and dryer.

    5. Perfect for your pooch
    With two separate dog play areas, this is pooch-friendly living at its finest. The walkable neighborhood and proximity to several dog-friendly parks, like Twelve Hills Nature Center, offer even more options. When Fido is looking less than fluffy, take him to the pet spa that's conveniently located just downstairs from your apartment.

    Residents have already begun to move in, and you can take advantage of up to six weeks free rent if you act quickly. If you'd like to schedule a tour of the move-in-ready homes or get more info about Novel Bishop Arts, call 214-941-0400 or click here.

    The tavern-style clubhouse is made for entertaining.

    flock to flower mound

    Dallas-Fort Worth suburb blooms as No. 1 best place to live in U.S.

    One Dallas-area city took the top slot on a new list of "the 100 Best Places to Live in 2025." The list — from relocation marketing platform Livability.com — put Flower Mound at No. 1 for its appealing size and affordability.

    The list was restricted to small and mid-size cities with populations between 75,000-500,000 residents. And it also considered only cities with a median home value of $500,000 or less.

    They considered factors such as average rent and home prices relative to income to keep their list centered around affordability.

    And while Flower Mound did come in at No. 1, the site specifies that the list is not a numbered ranking but one where users are encouraged to create their own ranking based on personal priorities.

    Nonetheless, Flower Mound earned the highest score out of all the cities on the report, with a LivScore totaling 875 out of 1,000 possible points.

    Flower Mound is 28 miles northwest of Dallas, with a population of more than 77,000 residents and a median household income that's well into the six-figures, at $216,000. These affluent residents have median home values of $476,609, according to the report's findings.

    Across the eight main categories, the suburb ranked the highest for its health (88), economy (87), and safety (84). The report said Flower Mound has a "diverse and robust" economy, bolstered by more than 2,000 locally based businesses in tech, manufacturing, and other professional services.

    Livability's profile of Flower Mound praises its safe neighborhoods, school districts, recreational activities, and more.

    "Local residents (and their pets) have all kinds of fun ways to enjoy the great outdoors thanks to more than 1,000 acres of parkland," the profile says. "Heritage Park is a local favorite, with amenities galore — including a splash pad, playground, performance pavilion, 18-hole disc golf course and bronze statues of animals native to the area. On top of all that, there’s a boardwalk, a waterfall and a 5-acre dog park."

    Flo-Mo is a repeat award winner: In 2024, the city was found to be the 29th most livable small city in America in a separate study by SmartAsset.

    Seven other Texas cities were also included in the list of best places to live in the U.S.: Sugar Land (854 points), Round Rock (793 points), New Braunfels (758 points), Midland (712 points), College Station (711 points), Tyler (676 points), and Abilene (659 points).

    The top 10 cities that earned the most points on Livability's list are:

    • Flower Mound, Texas
    • Carmel, Indiana
    • Sugar Land, Texas
    • Naperville, Illinois
    • Roswell, Georgia
    • Overland Park, Kansas
    • Troy, Michigan
    • Columbia, Maryland
    • Olathe, Kansas
    • Round Rock, Texas
