Dallas continues to develop into a trendy spot in the Metroplex
Less than 10 miles from downtown Dallas, cradled between major thoroughfares and anchored by the University of North Texas at Dallas campus, lies Singing Hills. This established yet evolving locale offers leafy streets and attractively priced, late midcentury homes. "It's very conveniently located close to highways," says Christine Rollins, a broker with Triad Realty. "And it's an area that's going through some changes and transitioning. We're seeing people buying and totally rehabbing the older homes, and there are some vacant lots in the area that are being marketed for development." Stefany Nau, a broker with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty, echoes this sentiment. Having lived in Dallas for over 30 years, Nau has witnessed the area blossom into a mix of new luxury subdivisions and trendy shops around downtown. “All the restaurants have a hipster vibe; they’re Instagramable.”

Singing Hills sits next to UNT's campus
Singing Hills is located just northeast of the University of North Texas with Ricketts Branch flowing straight through its center. “I don’t think many students are going to live out that way,” Nau notes. “They’re more than likely going to be living closer to downtown, where all the trendy spots are.” The neighborhood comprises mostly of ranch-style single-family homes built in the late 1950s and 1960s, along with some Traditional-style homes from the early 2000s. Homes sizes range from around 1,100 to 2,200 square feet with three to five bedrooms, and list prices tend to fall somewhere between $165,000 and $330,000, with an average sales price of $250,000. "You can still find a diamond in the rough and get a bit of a deal," Rollins says.

Bigger scale events are even bigger in Dallas
The Texas State Fair operates for 24 days September through October, making it the longest-running fair in the country. The family-friendly festival covers 277 acres of the historic Fair Park and features over 70 rides. "Big Tex always makes an appearance at the front entrance," Nau says about 55-foot-tall “Big Tex”: the tallest cowboy statue in Texas. Nau also adds that the festival has the biggest ferris wheel in the nation, Texas Star, which happens to be 20-story high. Dallas also hosts the nation’s biggest floral festival every Spring; the North Texas Irish Festival, which is also one of the largest in the US; and an annual Pride parade, which celebrates its LGBTQA+ residents who make up the sixth largest queer community in the country.
