East Dallas
I have a list of things I want in my next home. It goes a little something like this: 1. Pool, 2. New or like-new kitchen, 3. Two full baths, 4. Pool.
Not only does this house have everything on that list, but it’s also in the highly sought-after neighborhood of Greenland Hills. In fact, 5330 McCommas is not only a great house for a small family, empty-nesters, or a professional couple, but the location makes it all but ideal.
Along with Lakewood, Oak Cliff, and Lochwood, I am in love with Lake Highlands. It is such a quiet, tight-knit neighborhood with tons of cute homes with great details. And the prices can’t be beat. This week’s Tuesday $200K comes in $20K under at $179,900, and it’s worth every penny (and then some)! What’s great…

So I provided homes in the peripheral areas such as hot hot (and affordable) Lochwood, Little Forest Hills, and then one in Forest Hills just because I have a crush on it!
