    Darling 1940s East Dallas cottage charms from the outside in

    There's a cozy C Streets cottage on the market that is a springtime dream, with its manicured landscape and colorful, welcoming door.

     

    Currently listed for $515,900 by John Angell of Dallas City Center Realtors, the darling 1940s cottage at 7210 Casa Loma Ave. has tons of drive-up appeal and boasts a flagstone porch and vibrant flowerbeds bursting with color, much like its eye-catching front door.

     

    According Southern Living, a light blue door means: “You’re hopeful and positive, and know the value of a well-loved, well-worn old pair of blue jeans. Friends come to you for both advice and a good laugh.”

     

    As for a deep blue door they say: “Inside you’ll find ginger jars and old family heirlooms. You’re grounded, peaceful, and dedicated to your (fixed) principles. But it’s not all serious all the time — you make a mean Bloody Mary.”

     

    The C Streets cutie is a combination of both, with charm, character, and cheerful updates to suit a variety of styles. Ginger jars and Bloody Marys optional.

     

    The three-bedroom, two-full-bathroom home is ideal for families with kids and entertaining outdoors. It has a spacious 2,032-square-foot interior and sits on a sizable 7,363 lot.

     

    Listing agent John Angell calls it “a great find in Lakewood Elementary” and points buyers to the home’s gorgeous hardwood floors, two living areas, and updated “kitchen-breakfast combo” with sleek granite countertops and stainless appliances. There is quite a bit of flexibility here, especially for a home of this period.

     

    The master suite, though, steals the show. Homeowners can make it a sanctuary and take full advantage of the open, airy space by creating a sitting area near a window, making a vignette out of the built-ins, and adding fun lighting to the vaulted-and-beamed ceiling. Two large closets and an attached balcony overlooking the back lawn make it a welcoming retreat.

     

    The home has an easy floor plan, plantation shutters, and French doors off the kitchen leading to a giant fenced backyard with a huge deck and storage shed — and its C Streets location is idyllic.

     

    The neighborhood, which is situated on the southern end of White Rock Lake just south of Lakewood, was developed slowly over time, with the intent of creating a livable area with lots of open spaces. Think: large front yards uncluttered by utility poles. The result is a tight-knit neighborhood that offers a nice cross section of architectural styles on large lots with oversized front yards.

    More millennials bought homes in Dallas than nearly any other metro in 2024

    More than 26,000 adults aged 25-44 bought homes in San Antonio-New Braunfels last year.

    Dallas is turning into a haven for millennial homebuyers, a new SmartAsset housing study has found. Nearly 56,000 millennials purchased homes in the Metroplex in 2024.

    The report, "Where Millennials Are Buying Homes – 2025 Study," analyzed mortgage origination data across 41 of the largest U.S. metros, ranking them based on the percentage of local people aged 25-44 who purchased a home in 2024. As a note, the study only observed conventional mortgages and not FHA, USDA, or VA loans.

    The study found Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington had the second-highest number of millennial homebuyers in the U.S. last year, with a total 55,732 mortgages originated in the metro.

    That's about 6,100 fewer mortgages than Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, which had the No. 1 highest rate of millennial home purchases nationwide in 2024, adding up to 61,826 mortgages.

    The median property value of a DFW home purchased by a millennial in 2024 came out to $455,000, and the median income of a millennial homeowner was $142,000, according to the report.

    Millennial Dallasites already dread being locked in as renters for the rest of their lives, and one surprising statistic found in the report backs up that fear: Only 2.33 percent of all DFW millennials bought homes last year. Furthermore, Dallas-Fort Worth placed 30th in the report's overall ranking of U.S. metros with the highest percentage of millennials who purchased homes in 2024.

    For additional context, the No. 1-ranking metro was Raleigh-Cary, North Carolina with 4.5 percent of local millennials securing a mortgage last year. However, that percentage only represented 19,735 mortgages originated in 2024.

    SmartAsset said U.S. metros with a high rate of millennial homebuyers may show desirability within the area's job market, housing market, and its local economy.

    "In some places, 1 in every 25 residents between the ages of 25 and 44 purchased a home with a conventional mortgage just in 2024 alone," the study said. "In other major metros, less than 1 in 100 Millennial-aged residents last year. This disparity can cause divergent implications for local infrastructure, politics, and business demand among different metros."

    Here's how many mortgages that were secured by millennials in Texas' other major metros in 2024:

    • Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands – 61,826 mortgages
    • Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos – 27,196 mortgages
    • San Antonio-New Braunfels – 26,337 mortgages
