Dallas Love Field Development

Dallas Love Field certainly has a unique history, and after an announcement that was made back in 2009 to modernize the outdated city-owned airport, the reconstruction process is now almost complete, garnering the attention of both residential and commercial developers alike.   

Along with the much needed modernization program, restrictions that governed and restricted traffic at Dallas Love Field have also been lifted—a change that will undoubtedly help boost business in the area and generate renewed development interest that just wasn't there when such limitations were in place.  

Until just recently, non-stop flights to destinations within Texas, as well as all neighboring states surrounding Texas weren't permitted out of Dallas Love Field,…

Last Minute Costume Stores in DFW

Although 28 days have now come and gone in the month of October, it's still hard to believe Halloween has finally arrived. For the most part, safe trick-or-treating events and Halloween-themed parties have been going on all month long, but for some DFW residents, the party is only just beginning.

So if you're in need of a last-minute costume and live in or around the Dallas-Fort Worth area, swing by any of these local costume shops and make this year's Halloween the best ever:

Dallas Wineries

With October rapidly coming to a close, the chance to really get out there and enjoy the fall season is dwindling more and more with each passing day. Back in September, we featured 10 of the hottest fall festivals taking place in the DFW area this year, but now that many of those events have come and gone, many locals might be left wondering how best to spend the remainder of this year's autumn season. 

If you happen to live in Dallas, or don't mind making the trip from your DFW suburb, one great way to spend a Saturday or Sunday afternoon is to tour all of the awesome, and in some cases award-winning wineries that call Dallas home. To date, three very prominent wineries are located around downtown Dallas, with each offering something…

Double Oak Subdivisions | Double Oak Homes For Sale

Now that we're past the mid-way point in October, the busy fall market is in full swing and there's no better place to buy right now than in Double Oak. With one of the lowest crime rates in the DFW region and one of the highest annual home value appreciation rates in 2014, it's hard to match what the Double Oak real estate market can offer home buyers, especially if you're looking for a nice, quiet place to call home.  

In 2013, Double Oak's population was just under 3,000 residents, making it one of the smallest suburban Dallas communities in the area. At just over 30 miles from downtown Dallas, those considering a home for sale in Double Oak will be about 45 minutes from the heart of the city, allowing for plenty of separation from the…

Indoor Ski Resort Coming to Grand Prairie, TX

The DFW region usually isn't a destination that first comes to mind when thinking about skiing, snowboarding, or nearby places to go to hit the slopes. The average temperature in what are traditionally the coldest months of the year here in the Dallas-Fort Worth area is right around 60 degrees, and when it comes to mountains, or even large hills for that matter, we're not really equipped with that kind of terrain either.  

But despite the warm climate and rather flat, prairie-like setting, a group of developers, along with Hard Rock International, still want to bring a little taste of winter to the heart of Texas by building a monster $215 million indoor ski resort over in nearby Grand Prairie.  

Although financing still needs to be…

Dog Friendly Bars in Dallas

Although the weather is cooling down a bit as we enter the fall season, outdoor dining is still a very enjoyable dining experience at restaurants and bars all throughout the Dallas area, especially during the height of the football season. If you can’t make it over to Arlington for the game, the next best thing is to swing over to a local establishment in your neighborhood to enjoy some tasty food, great drink specials, and hopefully a Dallas Cowboy victory. But for dog owners, part of a great game day experience is being able to watch the game with the four-legged part of your family, so if both you and Fido are looking to get out of the house this football season to catch a game or two, here are a few of our favorite dog friendly restaurants in Dallas…

Uptown Village Townhomes For Sale - Lewisville, TX

For years, Lewisville was a quiet, unassuming suburban town with a relatively low population density and not a whole lot going on. Then in 1954, construction was completed on the Garza-Little Elm Dam—what’s now known as Lewisville Lake—and the little old town of Lewisville, Texas began to flourish.

Today’s Lewisville is known for being a recreational hub of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex because of its warm Texas climate and of course the sprawling Lewisville Lake, which has six separate marinas and two restaurants right on the water. But along with that, Lewisville is also one of the fastest growing cities not just in Texas, but the entire United States. In fact, Lewisville is right smack-dab in the middle of an on-going transformation that…
