Las Colinas neighborhood provides a slow, suburban lifestyle compared to Downtown Dallas
Just 10 miles from Dallas is suburban Grauwyler Heights. Tucked beneath a canopy of mature trees, this small Las Colinas community is marked by sidewalk-lined streets and yards with playsets. It’s a striking contrast compared to Downtown Dallas’s busy streets and fast-paced lifestyle, but all the retail and entertainment in both Dallas and Irving are still close enough to enjoy regularly. “It’s a quiet neighborhood," says Aroma Zidan, a Realtor with JPAR. “It’s very close to the highway, so that really gives it an advantage for people who want speedy access to Dallas and other cities,” Zidan says. Courtney Tauriac, a Dallas Realtor at Compass RE Texas LLC, has lived in Irving since 2007 and has witnessed the area grow exponentially. “We have the Toyota Music Factory near the Canal, the Ritz-Carlton and the arts center,” Tauriac adds. “It’s the perfect balance of arts, culture and food, plus a great cost of living.” Grauwyler Heights is close to several golf courses and an expansive greenbelt trail. Residents are also drawn to the area due to its proximity to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and some of the most prominent employers in the DFW Metroplex.

A variety of homes and condos sit on some of Irving's tree-lined hillsides
The neighborhood’s collection of ranch-style houses, condos and townhomes were primarily built from the 1950s through the 1980s. Single-family homes typically rest on sizeable lots approaching a quarter-acre and are shadowed by towering elm and oak trees that are common to the area. “A lot of the more mature, older areas of Irving have a really lovely topography,” Tauriac says. Winding, hilly streets and tall trees are unique to the area, whereas the layout of McKinney or Frisco are what Tauriac describes as a “big old flat grid”. The price of a 1,000-square-foot condo with two bedrooms and one bathroom may range from $150,000 to $250,000, while contemporary townhomes and ranch-style residences can run from $250,000 to $400,000, depending on square footage. “Things are taking a little bit longer to sell because of the interest rates, but it’s still a very active market,” Zidan says. “Houses usually sell within a few weeks. The prices there are very competitive and cheaper than the Dallas-Fort Worth area as a whole. I have a condo listed there for $213,000. Anything that’s in the $200,000 to $300,000 range is very sought after.”
In Grauwyler Heights, condominiums are a solution for those not wanting to have their own yards.
