The city of Dallas encompasses 384 square miles of rolling prairie, with native pecan, cottonwood and oak trees located along the Trinity River and the numerous creeks that feed it.
As the Southwest's leading business and financial center, it boasts the largest wholesale market in the world and lays claim to being one of the top convention cities in the United States.
Dallas is a mecca for shoppers, as it boasts more shopping centers per capita than any other U.S. city. Not only is Dallas home to the internationally recognized specialty store Neiman Marcus and retail giant JCPenney, but it is also the site of America's oldest shopping center, Highland Park Village. Other well-known centers that are a magnet for Dallas corporate apartment residents and regional and national clients include Galleria Dallas, NorthPark Center, West Village, Mockingbird Station and many more.
Dallas corporate apartment residents can pursue art and culture with almost as much enthusiasm as shopping. Collector and philanthropist, Raymond Nasher, and his late wife, Patsy, gifted Dallas with the 70-million dollar Nasher Sculpture Center, located in the Dallas Arts District. The new Latino Cultural Center is buzzing with multicultural activities and artistic endeavors.
Dallas corporate apartment residents will find that there are more than 12 entertainment districts within a short distance of downtown, each with their local history and flavor, offering a unique mixture of arts, culture, shopping, dining and fun: Dallas Arts District, Fair Park, Deep Ellum, Main Street, Greenville Avenue, Knox-Henderson, Uptown, West Village, West End, Oaklawn and the Bishop Arts District.
Dallas corporate apartment residents can also experience live theater, comedy to drama and outstanding opera. The Dallas Summer Musicals are held June through October at the Music Hall in Fair Park with the last production running the length of the State Fair of Texas. Held in the fall, the State Fair draws more than 3 million visitors annually to the 277-acre campus of Fair Park. It is the largest exposition in North America and features prize livestock and horse competitions, Big Tex, Fletcher's famous corny dogs, big name entertainers, the annual Texas-OU Football Game, the Grambling-Prairie View Football Game and a huge midway with the "Texas Star" Ferris wheel, the tallest in the northern hemisphere and one of the largest in the world.
Professional sports are played throughout the year with six teams making their home in the Dallas area: The Dallas Cowboys (NFL), Dallas Mavericks (NBA), Dallas Stars (NHL), Dallas Desperados (AFL), FC Dallas (MLS) and Texas Rangers (MLB).
