Luxury Living at The Drake White Rock Lake

The Drake White Rock Lake is a welcome anomaly to the Dallas high-rise scene. Most people looking for a luxury condo lifestyle in Dallas will gravitate to the prominent places in Turtle Creek and Oak Lawn, but if you love the lake, this penthouse is the perfect location. And it’s for rent!

This is a perfect fit for our California transplants that cannot imagine being far from the water. The Drake offers luxury living within biking distance of White Rock Lake, where you can dock the sailboat, paddleboard, fish and yet be in the middle of funky, fabulous East Dallas, minutes from downtown. There is also a great public golf course down the street.

Whether you’re waiting on new construction to be completed, moving here from the coast and trying to get the lay of the land, or simply prefer to rent because you’re here on a year-long contract, this luxury penthouse offers a terrific lifestyle. There are not many condos in the middle of a neighborhood, so you really get the best of both worlds at The Drake.

The penthouse has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a powder bath, and incredible lake views and downtown. The joy of high-rise luxury living is in the amenities, of course, and the list is extensive. Of course, you have the usual concierge services, a members lounge, and a gorgeous elevated pool and entertainment deck. It’s a pet-friendly building, so you will also find a dog park, pet spa, and dog-walking services. You can work out in the private training area, get mindful in the yoga room, or step outside and take a run on the Santa Fe Trail. The building is equipped with a private business center so you can work from home, but not at home, which I think most of us would be thrilled about after the past year. There is also a secret Japanese Garden, so don’t tell anyone!

If you have children, no worries. The Drake is located in the Mata, Long, Woodrow zone of Dallas ISD, and if you prefer private, Spanish House is a few blocks away, and Bishop Lynch within minutes of the front door.

Compass Real Estate’s Scott Jackson has the penthouse at The Drake on 7450 Coronado Avenue for lease at $14,235 per month.

Open House: Saturday, May 8, 1 to 4 p.m.
