    Interior designer's Prairie-style East Dallas home is a timeless treasure

    Diana Oates

    A good head-to-toe renovation is the norm for historic homes in Dallas, and this 100-year-old Prairie-style house is no exception. Located at 4839 Junius St., in the Peak's Addition neighborhood just off of Munger Place, the 2,784-square-foot home is all things rustic yet chic — thanks to the skills of its interior designer owner. And while we aren't ones to skip to a property's guest bedroom, the exposed shiplap located there (and in the guest bath) is just one example of how the house has been polished and restored. Joanna Gaines would be so proud.

    The heart and soul if this three-bedroom, three-bath home, however, is its kitchen, with a 12-burner Wolf range and a double oven for preparing big family meals. But what really makes the room is the exceptionally large island that doubles as the both a prep and an entertaining space.

    Heading back upstairs, the master bedroom features a sitting area that beckons you to sit a spell with a book and a cup of tea. There is also a full bathroom with shower and jacuzzi tub. And because it's vintage, the blue is totally acceptable.

    As far as the outdoor living space, the backyard could be anywhere in Texas, from the quirky town of Fredericksburg to a ranch in deep West Texas. The point being, you definitely don't feel like you're less than 5 miles from downtown Dallas. The flagstone patio features a pergola and an outdoor grill for enjoying those sweet spring and summer nights.

    The home is currently listed for $559,000 by Courtney Tauriac of David Griffin & Company Realtors. She is holding an open house on Sunday, June 11, from 2-4 pm.

    The large master bedroom has amazing natural light and handsome hardwood floors.

    Dallas residents need to make over $71,000 to afford rent in 2025

    A new rental report from Zillow has revealed Dallas renters need to make nearly 29 percent more money than they did five years ago in order to afford rent in 2025.

    Zillow analysts examined the income needed to afford rent in 50 major U.S. metros, and determined rent prices in each city as of April 2025.

    The average Dallas renter needs to make $71,413 a year to afford living in the city, the report found. To afford rent for a single-family home, the income needed increases even further to $92,932.

    Despite Dallas' rising rent cost of living, it's still more affordable than many other cities. Nationally, the average income needed for someone to comfortably afford rent comes out to nearly $81,000. The study says that figure has increased nearly 35 percent since 2020.

    "Housing costs have surged since pre-pandemic, with rents growing quite a bit faster than wages," said senior Zillow economist Orphe Divounguy. "This often leaves little room for other expenses, making it particularly difficult for those hoping to save for a down payment on a future home. High upfront costs are often overlooked, which can keep renters in their current homes."

    Rent prices in Dallas averaged $1,785 last month, which is less costly than the national average rent price of $2,024. Additionally, Dallasites are spending about 23 percent of their income on rent, while the typical American spends almost 30 percent of their income on rent.

    Renters are saving hundreds of dollars in comparison to those that own their homes, as a recent SmartAsset study discovered the median monthly housing costs for a Dallas homeowner came out to $2,381.

    At least we're not living on the East or West Coast, where eight U.S. metros require six-figure incomes to afford rent. Residents in San Jose, California need to make $136,532 a year to afford rent, the highest out of all 50 U.S. cities. Rent prices in San Jose came out to $3,413 in April.

    Dallas has it the worst in Texas. Here's how much money renters need to afford living in other Texas metros, according to Zillow:

    • Austin –$68,840
    • Houston – $67,731
    • San Antonio – $58,590
