Greenwood Flats Dallas

The M Streets neighborhood in Dallas is widely thought of as being one of the more charming neighborhoods in town. Located north of downtown and just off Highway 75, there’s hardly a more convenient spot to live in Dallas if you happen to be someone who prefers to be settled just a bit further outside of downtown’s core. And now, with the announcement of a new 36-unit community that’s being planned for M Streets, there’s going to be even more opportunities to call this wonderful part of the city home as well. 

Being developed by Stillwater Capital, the project will consist of both one-level flats and two-story townhouses—two product types that are sorely lacking in Dallas’ red hot real estate market right now. 

As of now, the project is being…

If you can’t figure out why the DFW housing market continues to remain so strong, consider the fact that industrial leasing all over our region set a new record in 2016. And in a nutshell, more industrial leasing means more jobs; and more jobs equal a much stronger demand for homes, condos, and apartments. 

According to a report released by commercial property firm CBRE, over 25 million square feet of net warehouse and industrial property was leased around DFW in 2016, which as mentioned is a record high. And as first reported by the Dallas Morning News, that’s 2.6 million more square feet than the previous record, which was recorded all the way back in 1999. 

Southern Dallas County saw the largest growth in warehouse and industrial leasing,…

As noted by MPF, DFW now claims the country’s top spot for apartment demand, which can largely be attributed to the region’s incredible job growth and employment opportunities that have continued to help feed…
