Candy’s Lease of the Week: Gated Home on Gaston Gives Access, Security, And Shopping

Talk about walkable! This fabulous condo/townhome — 6107 Gaston Ave. Unit A, near La Vista — is great for anyone who wants to ditch their car for everyday errands. While it still has a two-car garage, you’ll probably be biking or walking to the restaurants and shopping just down the block in the Lakewood Shopping Center, as well as the Lakewood Whole Foods. There are some fantastic bars and businesses, too, just over on Skillman and La Vista, including the recently relocated Mecca.

And if you think living this close to White Rock Lake and downtown Dallas and hoardes of great shops is going to cost you an arm and a leg, think again. This townhome has hardwood floors, more than 1,000 square feet, two bedrooms, one and a half baths, and you can rent it today for $1,200 a month! What a bargain!

This is a great area for a single mom with a school-aged kid, too. You’re in the Lakewood attendance zone, with award-winning Woodrow Wilson High School. And you’re within a short walk of Swiss Avenue — a popular walking track for families. There are also some great private schools nearby if that’s more your speed.

For relaxing, there’s a private patio just large enough for a bistro table or conversation set. And thanks to the lovely windows in this unit, you’ll get plenty of light! Interested? Contact Jason Lucas at LocalDwelling.com.
