Outdoor activities abound in Breckinridge

Big homes over big city noise describes Breckinridge, a small inner Dallas suburb of Richardson just 15 miles from Dallas and 40 miles from Fort Worth. Breckinridge is best known for its community park, which unfolds as the largest greenspace in the city. “Everyone in the area loves biking, walking, running and fishing. My husband and I have even kayaked in the creek that runs through the park,” says Joyce Lynn Chandler, a Realtor with Keller Williams Central. Home to highly rated schools and with a convenient commute to surrounding cities for work, Breckinridge offers a slice of suburbia not too far from the city.

The Richardson Farmer’s Market is every Saturday

Grocery store trips, last-minute errands and eating out with loved ones are pretty close in Breckinridge. The Richardson Farmer’s Market is on Saturdays at Dal Rich Towne Square for a taste of local flavors. Walmart and 24-Hour Fitness are located on the corner at Murphy Marketplace. Additionally, Breckinridge is within 5 miles of Cityline, a mixed-use open-air shopping district and Firewheel Town Center to its south, with dozens of big-box retailers.

Also close to home is Haraz Coffee House, pouring up Yemeni-style brews and Casa Mama for piled-high plates of authentic Mexican food on its outdoor patio.
