Knox-Henderson — Where Uptown Cool Meets Neighborhood Soul
Knox-Henderson is one of Dallas’s most popular neighborhoods for young professionals, offering the best of both worlds: the walkability and restaurant scene of Uptown, combined with the live music energy and eclectic character of Lower Greenville. Located just north of Uptown along the Katy Trail, Knox-Henderson (often called “Knox/Henderson” by locals) is actually two streets — Knox Street and Henderson Avenue — that together define one of Dallas’s most dynamic dining, shopping, and nightlife corridors.
With a Walk Score of 89, excellent Katy Trail access, and a neighborhood that feels both polished and unpretentious, Knox-Henderson has become one of the most sought-after addresses in Dallas.
