The lack of trees in that shot of Allandale between Shoal Creek Blvd and Great Northern is striking. It looks like the developer didn't plant any. The entire urban forest there now must have all been self-planted by the homeowners. Hard to believe at the time this was the most basic, cookie-cutter and probably downright cheap homes, being next to a railroad track and a quarry.

How it looks now in google maps - https://goo.gl/maps/NLUu9Kd5DgB2
