Dallas real estate constitutes the second-largest city within the state of Texas, eighth in the United States, and the largest metropolitan economic area of the southern Great Plains and Gulf Coast region. Dallas real estate is within the Dallas-Plano-Irving metropolitan division and is the main cultural and economic center of the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metropolitan area, a title designated by the U.S. Census, and is colloquially referred to as the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. For 2003 U.S. Census estimates the metropolitan area population at about 5.6 million.
Dallas real estate, and its surrounding area, is mostly flat and lies at an elevation ranging from 450 to 550 feet (140 to 170 m). An escarpment rises 200 feet (60 m) in the southern Dallas neighborhoods of Oak Cliff and Cockrell Hill and continues through the city of Cedar Hill. White Rock Lake boasts the 66 acre (270,000 m2) Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden on its shore. The Trinity River is a major Texas waterway that passes from the northwest right by the southern portion of downtown Dallas as it heads southeast to Houston. The river is flanked on both sides with a 50 foot (15 m) earthen levee to keep that part of the city from flooding.*
