With Millennials finally looking to enter the housing market as buyers for the first time, 2015 should be a busy year for the DFW real estate market, especially in neighborhoods that offer lots of different options that cater specifically to first-timers wanting to make that long-awaited transition from renting to owning.
It’s no secret that today’s younger generation of home buyers is opting for a more fast-pace, urbanized lifestyle that’s not only more efficient, but also more convenient in terms of nearby amenities, shorter commute times, and various entertainment options. Walkability is a huge factor in deciding which location feels right for young home buyers today, and in downtown Dallas, any number of condo and loft buildings provide that perfect combination of affordability and desirability—a combination that's essential to the first-time buyer market.
Although it was hard to narrow down which downtown buildings are the best for first-time buyers looking to purchase in 2015, we did our best by featuring what we think provides a great value not only to newbies enterting the housing market for the very first time, but also to anyone else who might be looking for a great deal on a new downtown Dallas condo or loft. Have a look below at what we came up with...
1200 N. Main Street - Downtown
Also known as The Metropolitan, 1200 N. Main Street is situated in a near-perfect location that overlooks Belo Garden—one of Dallas’ newest urban park spaces. In addition, 1200 N. Main is FHA and VA approved, and the amenities here are top-notch! [View condos for sale at The Metropolitan]
