About Our Neighborhood

Merriman Park/University Manor

Two residential developments sharing one wooded area, Merriman Park/University Manor has been melded by neighborliness and a keen sense of community into one great place to live and raise families.

Located in the northeast section of Dallas, Texas, our quiet neighborhood is loaded with mature trees and nestled against the forested upland of White Rock Lake Park.

The MP/UM Neighborhood Association:

With approximately 700 homes, the neighborhood has a long-established, active, and effective resident association. The Merriman Park/University Manor Neighborhood Association meets five times a year at Hotchkiss Elementary School, which is located in the center of the neighborhood, and the association performs many vital tasks, including, but not limited to:

• Providing a forum where residents can meet and discuss issues and concerns
• Representing the interests of our neighborhood to ordinance and regulatory bodies, such as the Dallas City Council, the Dallas Zoning Board, and the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Board
• Publishing a neighborhood association newsletter that is distributed to all MP/UM residents every other month
• Providing this web site with important numbers and newsletter archives
• Planting and maintaining the landscaping of many of the entrances to the neighborhood
• Organizing five yearly neighborhood meetings including the Fall Festival, a Thanksgiving style dinner
• Providing a crime watch email alert and newsletter
