    Spring is here, which means it's home shopping season, and this might help narrow down your search.

    Real estate review site Niche compiled information from its users and data from the U.S. Census Bureau to grade neighborhoods and suburbs on factors including quality of schools, crime rates, housing trends, job market, amenities, and more. After all that calculating, five Dallas-area neighborhoods were named among the 10 best places in all of Texas to live for 2019.

    Coming in at No. 2, Timberbrook in Plano gets an overall A-plus rating from Niche. The neighborhood (population 5,744) scores mostly As (public schools, housing, being good for families, jobs, diversity, and health and fitness) and some Bs (outdoor activities, nightlife, weather, and commute). The median home value is $291,230, median rent is $390, and the median household income is $116,008.

    Timberbrook also earns the title of America's 22nd best place to live. "Living in Timberbrook offers residents a suburban feel and most residents own their homes," Niche says. "In Timberbrook there are a lot of restaurants and parks. Many families live in Timberbrook, and residents tend to have moderate political views."

    In the No. 3 spot is Preston Highlands. The far north Dallas neighborhood, which has a population of 4,312, also scores mostly As (public schools, housing, begin good for families, jobs, cost of living, diversity, and health and fitness) and some Bs (outdoor activities, nightlife, weather, and commute).

    Preston Highlands' median home value is an affordable $181,854 and the median household income is $97,668. Niche touts the area's restaurants, coffee shops, and parks and notes that "many families and young professionals live in Preston Highlands and residents tend to have moderate political views."

    For 2019, Richardson boasts the most neighborhoods in the Texas top 10. Canyon Creek South comes in fourth; Clear Spring Place ranks fifth; and Canyon Creek North is the ninth. All three excel in the major categories Niche identifies, with the exception of Clear Spring Place earning a C in commuting.

    Canyon Creek South has a median home value of $346,091 and a median household income of $129,016.

    Clear Spring Place and Canyon Creek North are more affordable alternatives, with home values of $240,600 and $291,804 and household incomes of $90,347 and $100,718, respectively.

    These neighborhoods are home to a well-regarded city, according to Niche, which ranks Richardson as America's sixth best city for retirees, seventh best to buy a house, and 12th best city to live and raise a family. Richardson also ranks in the top 30 nationwide for its public schools and inviting environment for young professionals.

    The title of best place to live in Texas goes to the sought-after San Antonio neighborhood of Terrell Hills. The rest of Texas' top 10 list includes three Houston suburbs, Greatwood (No. 6), Cinco Ranch (No. 8), and New Territory (No. 10), and one Austin neighborhood: the Triangle at No. 7.

    Miranda Lambert’s East Texas childhood home hits market for $1.6 million

    Miranda Lambert's childhood home, at 18621 Country Rd. 477, in Lindale, Texas is for sale.

    The 25-acre childhood homestead of country music star Miranda Lambert — whose popular ballad “The House That Built Me” very well could apply to the Grammy winner’s upbringing — is on the market in East Texas for nearly $1.6 million.

    According to Mansion Global, Lambert and her parents, Beverly and Rick, have listed the estate nearly 30 years after the family bought the main residence there.

    She and her family moved into the house when she was 14 years old. Lambert lived there till age 21, when she relocated to the adjacent “pink house,” which she purchased with money from her first big record deal.

    Lambert still owns the “pink house,” and her parents have vacated the primary home but still own everything except their daughter’s house, Mansion Global reported. The property is in Lindale, about 90 miles east of Dallas.

    The main attractions at the four-bedroom, five-bathroom, 103-year-old property are its two cottage-style homes, stocked three-acre pond, and shooting range.

    “The main residence showcases hardwood flooring, built-in cabinetry, textured walls, and vintage details that add character throughout,” says the listing from Lee Trowbridge of Compass. “Light-filled living spaces connect naturally to porches, decks, and courtyard areas, offering comfortable transitions between indoor and outdoor spaces.”

    The second home offers views of the pond and its own outdoor areas.

    The property, an old dairy farm at 18621 County Road 477, also includes:

    • A soaking tub in the primary bathroom.
    • An outdoor kitchen.
    • A brick courtyard.
    • A warehouse.
    • A shop with a bathroom and living quarters.
    • Three RV hookups.

    “Experience this rare opportunity to enjoy land, water, multiple residences, and a piece of music history in a setting that feels both quiet and connected,” the listing says.

    Part of Lambert’s music history is the 2009 song about “The House That Built Me,” which Tom Douglas and Allen Shamblin originally wrote for her first husband, country music star Blake Shelton.

    When you read some of the lyrics of that tune, you can picture a young Lambert at the Lindale home:

    I know they say you can’t go home again

    I just had to come back one last time

    Ma’am, I know you don’t know me from Adam

    But these handprints on the front steps are mine

    Up those stairs in that little back bedroom

    Is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar

    And I bet you didn’t know under that live oak

    My favorite dog is buried in the yard

    Lambert maintains strong ties to her hometown. There, she owns the Pink Pistol boutique, located on Miranda Lambert Way, according to Mansion Global. The tasting room for Red 55 Winery, which Lambert and her family started in 2005, is attached to the boutique.
