    Spring is the best time in Dallas-Fort Worth to slip on those blue booties and tromp around some of the finest homes in North Texas. From historic to modern, these home tours give voyeurs plenty of opportunities to see beyond the the front doors of the area’s most exceptional houses.

    Park Cities Historic and Preservation Society Home Tour
    When: April 11
    How much: $20 in advance or $25 at the door

    This annual home tour benefiting the only preservation organization in the Park Cities features four homes of distinctly different styles, including Claude Albritton’s home at 3432 University Blvd., Melissa and Philip Wise’s home at 3444 University Blvd., Erika and Matthew Yeaman’s home at 3607 Amherst Ave., and Jennifer and Sean Royal’s home at 3505 Lexington Ave. Considering the real estate you’ll be covering, the ticket price is extremely affordable.

    Turtle Creek Association Tour of Homes
    When: April 12
    How much: $50-$60

    The 14th annual tour features six unique residences, giving attendees an exclusive peek at the Turtle Creek high-rise lifestyle. Participants can hop on complimentary shuttles to and from the homes, and Turtle Creek Association volunteers serve as docents, sharing information about the art collections, designers, architects and builders. The tour concludes with a separately ticketed post-tour reception from 6-8 pm at the home of Trammell S. Crow. This tour is the primary fundraiser for the nonprofit dedicated to preserving the Turtle Creek area’s 87 acres of greenways and parkland.

    White Rock Home Tour
    When: April 25-26
    How much: $15-$20

    This home tour is high on our list because of the architecture. This is the 10th White Rock Home Tour benefiting East Dallas’ Hexter Elementary, and it features only modern homes. You can visit one of the more memorable homes on Vanguard Way in Urban Reserve, the ultra-modern container home called PV14, plus the gorgeous Cliff Welch modern on East Lake Highlands Drive near Easton Road (pictured in the slideshow). There also is a reception at Design Within Reach on April 24.

    Hollywood Santa Monica Neighborhood Association Home Tour
    When: April 25-26
    How much: $15

    This is another annual favorite, and this year a lovely collection of Tudors awaits, as well as one new build. There is a candlelight tour from 6-7 pm on April 24, as well as a preview party replete with silent auction (which you can preview and register for online) at the Dallas Arboretum from 7:30-11 pm. You can also attend a free Art in the Park event at Lindsley Park on April 26, featuring works from local artisans, food trucks and music.

    Fort Worth AIA Tour of Homes
    When: April 25-26
    How much: $20-$25

    The third annual Fort Worth AIA Tour of Homes has a fantastic collection of architecture as diverse as the city itself. From rehabbed midcentury moderns to stately Craftsman homes to a condo in the Miller Manufacturing building, this home tour is coming into its own. Proceeds support the variety of programs offered to the public throughout the year at the Center for Architecture in Fort Worth.

    Preservation Dallas Spring Architectural Tour
    When: May 2
    How much: $25 for members and $30 for non-members

    Okay, so technically this is not a home tour, but people do live downtown, and that is the theme: Celebrate Downtown. Preservation Dallas, which is dedicated to the preservation and revitalization of the city’s historic buildings, neighborhoods and places, has resurrected one of its most popular events, in partnership with Downtown Dallas Inc. Attendees will take a closer look at downtown’s evolution over the last five years — from above. It starts in Thanks-Giving Square and continues with multiple historic properties, where people ascend to rooftops for refreshments and unparalleled views. The tour runs from 10 am-2 pm; there is a wrap party from 2-3 pm at Third Rail Lofts. Ticket price includes both. Call 214-821-3290 for reservations.

    Swiss Avenue Mother’s Day Home Tour
    When: May 9-10
    How much: $20

    Now in its 42nd year, this Mother’s Day tradition showcases homes in one of Dallas’ most famous historic neighborhoods. The Swiss Avenue Historic District is just what you’d expect — delicious mansions coated in classic fixtures and finishes — and you can just waltz through them in awe. Visit six of the city’s most fabulous early 20th century homes, one of which is celebrating its 100th birthday this year. Also enjoy an art fair, antique-car display and children’s play area. Coaches and carriages shuttle attendees between homes, and historians are on hand to answer questions.

    Fairmount Historic District Tour of Homes
    When: May 9-10
    How much: $15-20

    One of the nation’s largest historic conservation districts hosts a great home tour every year that highlights the Craftsman architecture for which the neighborhood is known. Located on the vibrant south side of Fort Worth, it’s about one square mile of gorgeous homes built between the 1880s and the turn of the century. Founded in 1978, the Fairmount Neighborhood Association is one of the most active neighborhood associations in Fort Worth.

    Where to Shop

    Where to shop in Dallas right now: 10 new stores to visit in October

    The October edition of Where to Shop, CultureMap's monthly roundup of new stores and shopping options, provides a wide range of retail experiences: from the return of a nostalgic toy store to two home furnishing showrooms in Dallas' Design District. There's news of two vintage clothing stores and a new neighborhood in Dallas that's eligible for drone delivery.

    Here's where to shop in Dallas right now:

    Add Vintage
    Deep Ellum vintage clothing store from DJ Max Sanchez has re-opened in a larger space at 119 Murray St., with more room for its diverse collection of men & women's vintage apparel including T-shirts, sweaters, jackets, dresses, pants, and more. Like many vintage retailers, Add Vintage is a big believer in reducing waste and sustainable practices, and believes that every item has a story to tell, whether it's a one-of-a-kind piece or a timeless staple, with something for vintage enthusiasts and fashion lovers alike.

    Hideaway Vintage
    Vintage shop selling designer duds and collectible items has expanded into a new 4,880-square-foot flagship on the first floor of 250 N. Bishop Ave. Founded by brothers Emmanuel and Juan Villaseñor, Hideaway has become one of Dallas’ top destinations for luxury vintage fashion, streetwear, and accessories. The brothers opened Hideaway three years ago on the second floor of 250 N. Bishop Ave. with just over 2,100 square feet. This expansion more than doubles their footprint, with space for a bigger selection of men’s and women’s clothing, carrying designers such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Miu Miu, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Chrome Hearts, Maison Margiela, Kapital, Undercover, Sacai, Chanel, and Dolce & Gabbana.

    KD Biel
    New home retail store in Dallas' Design District showcases exclusive, artisan-made furniture, tabletop pieces, apothecary goods, and original designs by founder Kurt Bielawski (Neiman Marcus, More Design + Build). Merchandised as a series of rooms — including a living room, dining room, kitchen, butler’s pantry, garden room, bedroom, and bathroom — it feels more like a designer’s home than a retail store. Nearly 60 percent of the vendors are exclusive to KD Biel in Dallas, include Arcolaio Italian textiles, Baina Portuguese bath linens, Bergs Potter Italian clay terra cotta, Charvet Editions French kitchen and table linens, British ceramicist John Julian kitchenware, Marius Fabre Frenchsoaps, Match Italian pewter, London-based Perfumer H, Sangre de Fruta Canadian organic botanical skincare, Shore Studio, a British maker of rugs and furniture, The Chocolate Detective, a British chocolatier, and Urban Electric American-made luxury lighting.

    Moncler
    Alpine outerwear brand founded in Grenoble, France, in 1952 has opened a location in NorthPark Center, on level one between Neiman Marcus and Dillard's. The chain sells winter jackets, quilted parkas, and windbreakers fabricated primarily from animal parts — goose down feathers, shearling from lamb, etc. — priced from $2,000 to $4,000. Their boutiques are located in posh areas like Beverly Hills, Aspen, and Vail. NorthPark is their second boutique in Dallas, following a location at Highland Park Village.

    Snaidero
    International name in luxury Italian kitchen and home design has opened in Dallas' Design District at 1617 Hi Line Dr. #460 — the brand’s largest U.S. showroom to date. The 6,500-square-foot space features five of Snaidero’s Sistema kitchen collections, including brands such as Elementi, Way, Link, Frame, and one of its newest products, Quadra. The space not only showcases cabinetry but offers an opportunity to experience the artistry, craftsmanship, and elegance that have defined Snaidero since its founding in 1946 — a space where clients, architects, and designers can bring their vision to life.

    Stivali New York
    Shoe company has made its Dallas debut with a store off Henderson Avenue at 5045 Willis Ave., in the space previously occupied by furniture store Nick Brock — only the third storefront for the chain that was founded in Brooklyn in 2016. Stivali is a "slow-fashion" label — prioritizing timeless designs that last beyond a single season — with a lineup that includes their popular cowboy boots in a variety of designs priced from $275 to $350, plus tall boots, ankle boots, platforms, sandals, women's shoes, belts, and bags.

    Toys “R” Us Grapevine Mills
    Toy store chain has opened a storefront at Grapevine Mills mall, part of a comeback following a bankruptcy in 2018. The store features the latest must-have toys alongside timeless classics including Legos, Hot Wheels, Barbie dolls, Toys "R" Us mascot Geoffrey the Giraffe, games, crayons, stuffed animals, plushie toys, collectibles, books, arts & crafts, and more.

    Walmart at 9301 Forest Ln.
    Walmart and Zipline are partnering on launch drone delivery in the city of Dallas, bringing autonomous delivery to certain areas around DFW — which now includes the Walmart Supercenter at 9301 Forest Ln. This is the second Dallas site to receive the Zipline delivery service, following a first that debuted in South Dallas in September.

    Warby Parker
    Eyewear brand just opened its first location in Arlington at 4000 Arlington Highlands Blvd. #153. They're on an opening spree around DFW lately; this is the 10th location in DFW and the 23rd in Texas. The location will carry the brand’s full optical and sunglass assortment, third-party contact lenses, accessories, in-store eye exams. and will stock the new Fall 2025 collection.

    Allen Premium Outlets
    Outlet mall is celebrating its 25th anniversary with promotions and gifts-with-purchases at participating retailers throughout October such as a sneaker customization and a denim customization — with purchase, that is. The full schedule is here.
