Northwood Hills is an established suburban neighborhood in Far North Dallas, with primarily single-family homes and some duplexes, constructed in the 1960's. It is served by a homeowners' association in which membership is optional. Although it is in the City of Dallas, it feeds into the Richardson ISD, which is generally believed to offer higher-quality public education than the Dallas ISD. There are two RISD elementary schools within the neighborhood. There is also a library and recreation center (with tennis courts and swim park) and playing fields in the neighborhood. There is also a reform synagogue located within the neighborhood.
Most residents are white; some are original residents and older; some are new families with children.
Most residents are white-collar professionals. A car is required to get to grocery stores and shopping. Although crime incidence is fairly low and generally limited to crimes of opportunity, many people would cite crime as a concern.
Streets and alleys are in bad shape, as are some sidewalks. Street lighting is limited. Many of the duplexes in the north-east part of the neighborhood are rented and are not well maintained. Public transportation is not a strong suit in Dallas. Trash and recycling and bulk item collection and management needs to be re-thought with a focus on the environment. There is a problem with taking care of the homeless population in Dallas as a whole.
