NEIGHBORHOODS DEFINE COMMUNITY

Great things are happening in East Dallas neighborhoods—from important community groups working hard to strengthen schools to a growing local economy and positive real estate market. Recent figures from MLS are telling us that the average home sales price in Lakewood is $320,000, and homes are selling after just 49 days on market.

It’s our privilege to list many wonderful homes throughout East Dallas neighborhoods, including charming bungalows, contemporary builds and extraordinary estates on notable blocks. In fact, it was our pleasure to offer the top selling home in Lakewood year-to-date, a gracious traditional on lush grounds that listed for $2,549,000.

We know that people, homes, schools and families are at the heart of every community, and we thank you for letting us be a part the great things happening in Lakewood.

Please enjoy the calendar of fun activities taking place “Around the Lake” and read about exceptional homes of all sizes and design styles that make up the wonderful neighborhoods in East Dallas.

If you are thinking of buying or selling a home, I am happy to help in connecting you to an agent.
