After a long day, there’s nothing better than enjoying a nice meal at one of the city’s hottest or trendiest new eateries and while more than a few Dallas-area neighborhoods have a great selection of places to frequent, there may be no better location to experience Dallas’ lively and vibrant restaurant scene than in Uptown—an entertainment, art and cultural hub that’s located just north of downtown. 
While everyone’s idea of great curb appeal may be different, it’s hard to make an argument against 2807 Lakeside Court in Grapevine, Texas. It’s French Country classic architecture almost takes you back in time, despite the home being originally built in 2000, and its elevation above street level makes it almost appear as if the home is sitting on a pedestal just waiting to be recognized. And although unnoticeable from the street, the backyard at 2807 Lakeside Court is equally impressive, which comes complete with spectacular views of the private lake below and also plenty of patio and pool deck space that’s ideal for those much-anticipated summer barbeques and outdoor parties.

To some home buyers, it’s the history and various custom elements that make Dallas lofts one of the most attractive housing options currently on the market, while to others, it’s more about value and a high-appreciation rate that make it the ideal investment for their current situation.
It’s hard to ignore the big box retail stores and national chains when it comes time to buy a new sweater or pair of jeans.

Crew are offering consumers—just to name a few.
