Brief Area History: Oak Lawn/Uptown evolved from early 20th-century streetcar suburbs into mid-century apartments and retail along Cedar Springs. Late 1990s–2000s reinvestment (including the McKinney Ave revival and Katy Trail) transformed it into today’s walkable dining/nightlife hub while retaining pockets of classic low-rise charm.
