Further east, in the southeast quadrant of the city, is the large neighborhood of [[Pleasant Grove, Dallas|Pleasant Grove]]. Once an independent city, it is a collection of mostly lower-income residential areas stretching to [[Seagoville, Texas|Seagoville]] in the southeast. Though a city neighborhood, Pleasant Grove is surrounded by undeveloped land on all sides. Swampland and wetlands separating it from South Dallas are part of the [[Great Trinity Forest]],<ref name="The Great Trinity Forest-Dallas">{{cite web
