Zip codes and/or street names (Dallas, Plano: apartment, city hall, loft)

[kally]

I will be moving to Dallas in October of this year. I have been hearing alot about the different areas like Oakcliff, little elm, grapevine etc.. I have learned about what areas to avoid, what areas are good. The question I have is how can I tell what area is what by the zip code or street? Is there a web site I can go to that will tell me street names, zipcode etc so I can know the different areas in Dallas? Thanks in advance.

Let me google that for you

I live in the 75025 zip code and its really nice up here in Plano if your into single family homes in suburbia. I used to live downtown in the 75226 zip code. I liked livign there as well in my loft apartment.

If you know a zip code you can look it up in Google Maps. Or look up a zip code map on the internet.

Oak Lawn and UpTown are 75219
The area immediately east of US 75 and OakLawn/Uptown is 75204

You might look up something like Plano city hall, or Addison City Hall to get their address then google the address or zip.

City-Data has a listing of all incorporated city and towns in the U.S. and a map to suit at city-data.com

You can order a mini-map from Mapsco. It only costs $3.50 and it's an awesome tool to have in your car etc. even after you move here. I recommend you get it laminated.

Here you go: Click for a Zip Code Boundary Map.

Type in 75201 (downtown) to get you started and it will bring up a map of the whole area

Thank you all. This info is all very helpful.

Google Earth has a zip code boundary function that will draw the zip code boundaries on top of the map. I love Google Earth!!

Sweet map, dude. Now if I can just remember where it is. Bookmarks and such, you know.
