Turtle Creek is a neighborhood running along Turtle Creek and adjacent Turtle Creek Boulevard in the Oak Lawn area of Dallas, Texas (USA).
Turtle Creek has also become an adopted nickname for the Oak Lawn neighborhood, though never an official one. The nickname also sometimes applies to a spillover of the Uptown area, which has become the official moniker for the area between downtown Dallas and Oak Lawn beginning in the 1980s. (In actuality, however, Uptown itself is a part of the Oak Lawn district, as is the Turtle Creek neighborhood.)
The name Turtle Creek also graces a number of business and real estate properties in the area, many of which have addresses away from Turtle Creek Boulevard. There is even a Turtle Creek News which is published twice weekly and circulated in Uptown, Oak Lawn and Highland Park.

[birds chirping] Turtle Creek flows under the stone bridge and then it winds 'round and flows under the bridge at Turtle Creek Drive. A private drive that goes up to just a few homes designed by great architects like John Allen Boyle and Downing Thomas and Frank Welch. One of my favorite neighborhoods is Turtle Creek Park. Here's a neighborhood that only has thirty or so houses. On one side is the Katy Trail, on the other side is Turtle Creek, Rock Creek meanders through the neighborhood There are hills, topography, you're looking out on your verandas, maybe over 4 or 5 acres and not seeing any houses This is the neighborhood that's the most bucolic, pastoral, the most hidden from the city So Turtle Creek Park and these other little Turtle Creek neighborhoods combine the best of city life and they're the most removed from the city.
