A blend of urban and natural features in a walkable community
The thriving, master-planned community of Las Colinas is considered a Dallas suburb, but the word "suburb" may be a misnomer. Centrally located between Fort Worth and Dallas, Las Colinas boasts a range of residential and commercial spaces, as well as large corporation headquarters, world-class entertainment venues and miles of greenbelts, waterways and canals. This is a vibrant, walkable area for people to live, work and play. The neighborhood's proximity to the Dallas-Fort Worth airport, located just 10 miles north, has helped transform the area into the booming 12,000-acre urban center it is today. “After the recession, we got the Toyota Music Factory near the canal, which is a lovely area to walk through and enjoy the water,” says Courtney Tauriac, a Dallas Realtor at Compass RE Texas LLC. Tauriac came to Las Colinas in 2007 and says it was the “perfect move” for her, due to the growing arts, culture and food scenes. “We have a great cost of living compared to the rest of the country.”
Las Colinas sits just a short 15 minute drive from Downtown Dallas.
Lake Carolyn and the Mandalay Canals are among the crown jewels of Las Colinas.

Contemporary townhouses start at $400,000
The tidy, curved streets of Las Colinas have tree-lined sidewalks that lead to neighborhood parks, restaurants and an expanding retail scene. “We’ve got some beautiful winding streets and big trees and hills, which you don’t typically see in Dallas,” Tauriac says. “It’s unique to us, whereas everything else is a grid pattern. If you go to McKinney, Frisco, etc., it’s all a big old flat grid.” There's a wide range of housing options in Las Colinas, including contemporary condos and luxury townhomes. Larger, custom-built, single-family homes are accented by a mix of Mediterranean and Traditional influences. Prices for a 1970s condo are in the $150,000-to-$250,000 range, whereas 1,500-plus-square-foot residences often start at $400,000 and cap at around $1.6 million for larger six-bedroom estates with golf course views.

Lake Carolyn and the Mandalay Canals offer scenic charm and recreation
At the heart of Las Colinas is Lake Carolyn, an 87-acre, manmade lake surrounded by the Venice-inspired Mandalay Canal system. Here, locals can enjoy the water in many ways, renting paddleboards or Aqua Cycle Water Trikes or taking a guided gondola ride. Residents also head to this area for walking, running and biking on the 2-mile paved pathways, to walk dogs or simply enjoy an evening stroll through the neighborhood. Parks like Thomas Jefferson Park on Hidden Ridge Road feature playgrounds, sports courts and picnic pavilions. Golf lovers can head to Las Colinas Country Club for a day on the green. For an extended adventure, Irving’s Campion Trail – a concrete greenway that spans nearly 17 miles – starts on MacArthur Boulevard and offers a mix of natural and urban views as it winds its way north to Valley Ranch. Tauriac frequently jogs the trail system, adding that having this stretch of green space nearby is a nice benefit of living in Las Colinas.
