New homes sprouting up in old West Dallas Neighborhood
Along the banks of the West Fork Trinity River, Eagle Ford is a small suburban neighborhood along Interstate 30 that is less than 10 miles from Downtown Dallas. The neighborhood dates to 1844 but did not develop until the 1940s when lots were built for African American veterans after World War II in a segregated Texas. When the area was annexed into Dallas in the 1950s, conditions improved in houses. Since then, it has seen continued growth as it is now predominately a working-class neighborhood. According to the CAP index, Eagle Ford does run high in some crime statistics. The neighborhood scores nearly double the national average in motor vehicle theft while ranking above the average in crime, scoring a six above the national average. “People are moving here and building new properties,” says Katherine Lopez, a real estate professional and owner of Merseas Real Estate who has worked in the market since 2004. “These homes were built in the 1940s, so people can get them relatively cheap and then build something new or flip it for a profit."

Investors and buyers have recently started buying homes, teardown, and rebuilding Contemporary Craftsman and Stucco properties. Buyers can expect original homes to hit the market for $185,000, while homes with newer builds will sell for around $320,000. “People like being able to buy these houses and completely rebuild them.
