[1] Bluffview is so named for its relatively hilly topography—it lies along cliffs overlooking Bachman Branch and its tributaries.

[3] A portion of Bluffview in the northeast corner was originally planned to be within the boundaries of the town (now neighborhood) of Preston Hollow.

Children within the neighborhood are served by:[7] Sudie L. Williams Talented and Gifted Academy (located within the Bluffview neighborhood and formerly known as Sudie L. Williams Elementary School) serves academically talented and gifted students in grades four through six (expanding to eighth grade by 2020).

Henry W. Longfellow Career Exploration Academy (located next door in the Greenway Parks neighborhood) serves students in grades 6-8 selected through the magnet process.

Located adjacent to Sudie L. Williams Talented and Gifted Academy, it features benches, a drinking fountain, an outdoor basketball court, picnic tables, a playground, and a soccer field.
