The Good Life

Dallas is your oyster if you live in this Uptown high-rise

It’s easy to feel like you’re constantly on vacation when you live at The Taylor. The boutique design, luxe amenities, and swoon-worthy pool of this apartment community all make it nearly impossible to leave. But what’s the fun of being “on vacation” if you don’t get out and explore the area every now and then?

The Taylor happens to be situated right by Dallas’ most desirable attractions — and we do mean right by. An impressive Walk Score of 87 means that it’s just a hop, skip, or jump to all Big D has to offer.

If you feel like being sociable while you sweat, take your workout outdoors from The Taylor’s state-of-the-art fitness room to the popular Katy Trail. There you can bike, jog, and walk with other fit-minded Dallasites while enjoying the tranquil natural setting. And if you feel like popping by the Katy Trail Ice House after to “rehydrate,” well, we won’t judge.

Reverchon Park, Griggs Park, and the famed Klyde Warren Park are also nearby, opening up your calendar to countless festivals and celebrations, not to mention award-winning food trucks.

Craving a more traditional sit-down meal? The vibrant McKinney Avenue and Cedar Springs Road boast some of the city’s most popular restaurants. Think Bread Winners for a scrumptious brunch, Del Frisco’s Grille for a snazzy lunch, and Mi Cocina for a margarita in the evening. Then head out to one of the bustling bars and lounges for some grade-A people-watching.

Also nearby is the Dallas Arts District — the largest in the country — with its acclaimed museums and theaters. And let us not forget the shopping: The trendy boutiques of Knox-Henderson and McKinney are just around the corner, and NorthPark Center is only a short distance up the highway.

But the best part is knowing that when you’re finished exploring, a welcome homecoming at The Taylor is waiting for you back on Carlisle Street.

Dallas' Longhorn Ballroom unveils new renovated coworking studio space

Longhorn Ballroom

Dallas' famed Longhorn Ballroom music venue has unveiled a newly renovated multi-use building — located across the courtyard from the Ballroom at 200 Corinth St. — that's open for creative types in the fields of entertainment, restaurant, and the arts.

The Longhorn Ballroom was built in 1950 for country music legend Bob Wills and this Texas Playboys and was originally named Bob Wills’ Ranch House. It was managed for a time by Jack Ruby, then Dewey Groom who renamed it the Longhorn Ballroom and built it into one of the greatest venues of its day, hosting Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, Charley Pride, Pasty Cline, B.B. King, Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, James Brown, Al Green, Johnny Rodriguez, Freddy Fender and Selena.

This newly renovated building was originally constructed in 1950 as part of the Ranch House, where it served as a motel for touring musicians and according to a release, is rumored to have sheltered Wills' horse "Punkin."

The two-story 26,000-square-foot building offers co-working spaces for entertainment professionals, attorneys, and managers. There are five 1-2 person offices available, along with a limited number of residential live-work studios for artists. There are also several small restaurant spaces available for "culinary creatives."

The largest available area — a former recording studio — could be transformed into a space for audio, film, or post-production work.

There is also a common area and kitchen, plus plentiful parking. Internet and utilities are included. Rates depend on space rented.

"As an entertainment attorney, there’s no better place for my practice than the Oficina co-work space at the Longhorn," says Decker Sachse, a current tenant. "It’s a great location with easy access and my clients love the vibe."

In the fall, the Longhorn will complete its third and final phase with the opening of a 6,500-capacity outdoor amphitheater along the banks of the original Trinity River. Called The Longhorn Backyard Amphitheater, it will host a series of soft opening shows this fall, starting with Randy Rogers on September 20. A grand opening with a full calendar of events will commence in the spring of 2026, providing the city with a state-of-the-art outdoor venue one mile south of downtown Dallas.
