Candy's Lease of the Week: Park Towers Highrise Has Everything You Want, Plus Amazing Views

There are several condo highrises on Northwest Highway near Preston Road for three reasons: Location, location, location. Just inches from University Park, down the road from NorthPark Mall, and close to the Dallas North Tollway, this area is popular for its accessibility and amenities.

These are especially great assets if you are looking for the lock-and-leave lifestyle that highrises offer. To get a taste of that lifestyle, let’s look at Unit 1401 at the Preston Tower condominiums. This unit has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and more than 1,600 square feet. It’s fully renovated with granite and built-in appliances in the kitchen, and because it’s on the 14th floor, it has excellent views of downtown and the Park Cities.

It’s a great unit for a small family or an older couple who are in between homes and want a great place with virtually no maintenance. If you value privacy, then this is a great unit for you, as management is very tight-lipped on their former and current residents.

For me, it’s the views and location that sells it, but for others it might be the proximity to Dallas’ best shopping and restaurants. Considering that it was built in 1962, this condo building is in great shape and has tons of wonderful features, including a gorgeous fountain out front and a eye-catching curved facade. It’s been a city landmark since it was built, and rumor has it that almost everything in this building is original — a boon for those who worship at the altar of Midcentury Modern design.

Of course, there is a swimming pool, a gym, a tennis court, an outdoor lounge area with firepit, and 24 on-site security. It’s available for lease through RE/MAX DFW Associates agent Sadie Tatum for $2,950 a month. Sound like your lease? Find out more here.
