~4 Miles from Scottish Rite for Children
Living at 7900 sits roughly four miles from Scottish Rite for Children at 2222 Welborn Street — under ten minutes by car. From 7900 Brookriver Drive in the Stemmons Corridor, Harry Hines Boulevard runs almost the entire way to the Oak Lawn campus, which matters whether you’re a clinician reporting for morning clinic or a family from out of town settling in for a months-long course of treatment.

A Straight Shot Down Harry Hines
Scottish Rite sits south of the Southwestern Medical District, in Oak Lawn near Maple Avenue and Turtle Creek. That puts it on a different approach than the Harry Hines hospital cluster — and Brookriver Drive happens to sit at the top of the same road that carries you there. Harry Hines runs almost uninterrupted from the Stemmons Corridor into Oak Lawn, making this close to a single-road commute — unusual in this part of Dallas.
Two Independent Routes to the Same Campus
Harry Hines Boulevard is the simplest option, running south from the Stemmons Corridor, past the medical district, and into Oak Lawn, where Maple Avenue and Oak Lawn Avenue put you within a block of Welborn Street. When Harry Hines is congested, Brookriver Drive also feeds onto the I-35E (Stemmons Freeway) service road — head south and exit toward Wycliff Avenue or Oak Lawn Avenue for an independent route. Two roads to the same campus is worth something on a morning when one of them is closed.
A Note on Clinic-Hour Timing
Scottish Rite’s orthopedics and dyslexia clinics run weekdays, roughly 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. That means your traffic pattern is a conventional morning arrival rather than the three-hospital shift-change surge further north on Harry Hines — and at four miles out, you’re clearing it either way.
What Makes This Address Work
Near-Single-Road Commute
Harry Hines connects Brookriver Drive to Welborn Street almost without a turn — an unusual advantage in this part of Dallas.
Two Route Options
Harry Hines or I-35E service road — independent paths so one backup doesn’t strand you.
Flexible Arrival Times
Gated access and secured parking mean odd-hour arrivals and departures are never an issue.
In-Unit Laundry
A full washer and dryer in every unit — useful whether you’re a clinician or a family in an extended stay.
Full Kitchens
Stainless appliances, granite countertops and real pantry space for stays that stretch from weeks to months.
North of Both Campuses
At 2.4 miles from UT Southwestern and 4 miles from Scottish Rite, this address keeps both commutes short.
For Families Traveling for Treatment
Scottish Rite draws patients from across Texas and beyond. Scoliosis, limb lengthening, clubfoot and complex hand and hip conditions often mean repeat visits over months — and families frequently need something between a hotel room and a twelve-month lease. Our flexible lease terms accommodate stays that don’t fit a standard cycle.
Open layouts and high ceilings in every studio and loft
Stainless steel appliances and granite countertops
In-unit washer and dryer — no laundromat runs
Walk-in closets and designer cabinetry
Keyless entry and smart home features in select units
Flexible lease terms for short stays and extended treatment courses
Pet friendly community with no breed restrictions
For Staff Splitting Time Between Campuses
Scottish Rite physicians hold faculty appointments at UT Southwestern Medical School, and plenty of clinicians, therapists and researchers move between the Oak Lawn campus and the medical district in a single week.
Living at 7900 sits north of both campuses — roughly four miles from Welborn Street and about 2.4 miles from UT Southwestern. That’s a rare address that keeps both commutes short instead of forcing you to choose one over the other.
The Stemmons Corridor
The Stemmons Corridor puts you between the Dallas Design District and Dallas Market Center, with Trinity Groves a short drive south. Bachman Lake is nearby for walking paths. Love Field is about seven minutes out for visiting relatives or flying in for a treatment block, Downtown Dallas roughly ten. The Oak Lawn neighborhood — Turtle Creek, Maple Avenue and the Katy Trail — is along your route to the hospital.

No — they’re separate hospitals.

Children’s Medical Center Dallas is a general pediatric hospital in the Southwestern Medical District. Both are roughly a ten-minute drive or less from Living at 7900, but they’re about two miles apart from each other.
Harry Hines Boulevard is the simplest option, running south from the Stemmons Corridor through the medical district into Oak Lawn, where Maple Avenue and Oak Lawn Avenue bring you to Welborn Street.

Yes, and this is a practical advantage for Scottish Rite staff. UT Southwestern is approximately 2.4 miles from Living at 7900, Children’s Medical Center Dallas roughly 2.9 miles, and Parkland just under three. Since Scottish Rite physicians hold UT Southwestern faculty appointments, an address north of both campuses keeps every commute short.
Rail access is less direct here than to the medical district hospitals — the DART Green Line serves Southwestern Medical District/Parkland Station well, but Scottish Rite’s Oak Lawn location is better reached by DART bus routes along the Harry Hines and Maple Avenue corridors, or simply by car. Check current DART routes and schedules for your specific starting point.
