SOHIP is where first-time homeowners, young professionals, and empty-nesters merge, just steps from the city’s energy—but with a neighborly feel all its own.
SOHIP (South of Highland Park) is a neighborhood organization dedicated to community collaboration, crime prevention and the love of pets. SOHIP serves as a resource to enhance the quality of life in our neighborhood.
We’re an active, tight-knit community of more than 6,000 residents who value smart development, safe streets, and the unique character that makes our neighborhood livable and loved.
Our name pays tribute to our location—South of Highland Park—but it’s more than a geographic nod. It reflects the community’s spirit: bold, welcoming, and full of life.
Bordering the southern streets of Highland Park, SOHIP is a historic and vibrant neighborhood within Dallas’ PD 193 zoning district—better known as the Oak Lawn Special Purpose District.
We actively participate in local planning and work with city partners to represent the interests and well-being of our residents.
We prioritize community connection, responsible development, and open communication to ensure our neighborhood thrives.
We are, too! The proposed 28-story high-rise doesn’t align with zoning or the community’s scale. It threatens neighborhood safety and infrastructure.
