Community

Community + Lifestyle

The Claremont neighborhood is one of East Dallas’s hidden gems — a close-knit community of well-kept ranch-style homes, winding streets, and mature trees that create a peaceful, park-like setting. Neighbors here take pride in the area’s charm and often come together through the Claremont Addition Neighborhood Association (CANA), which hosts wine walks, block parties, and neighborhood cleanups throughout the year.

You’re minutes from White Rock Lake and the Dallas Arboretum, where you can jog, kayak, or explore scenic trails. Shopping and dining are just around the corner at Casa Linda Plaza, and easy access to I-30 puts Downtown, Deep Ellum, and Lower Greenville within a quick 15-minute drive. Whether you’re relaxing on the deck under the trees or meeting friends for brunch nearby, this location blends convenience with community spirit.
