The overview
Understand the housing and the tradeoffs
Community research should help you decide—not steer you toward someone else's definition of the right place. Compare objective facts, visit at different times and verify information with official sources.
Employment centers, restaurants, arts, waterways and urban amenities coexist with established residential areas. Choose the submarket before comparing individual homes.
SH-114, SH-183, PGBT, I-635, DART and proximity to DFW Airport provide extensive mobility options, with different noise and congestion considerations.
Examine submarket-specific comps, HOA or condominium documents, flood and drainage information, airport or highway noise, transit access, building condition and parking.
