    Uptown Living

    State Thomas party pad has everything a Dallas urban dweller desires

    The for-sale townhome at 3009 State St. has the best of everything, starting with its location in the State Thomas neighborhood. If you work downtown, the office is only minutes away; it can hardly be called a commute. Better still, you can walk to some of Uptown’s hottest restaurants and bars.

     

    “The location is about as stellar as it gets in Uptown,” Rogers Healy and Associates listing agent Tyler LeBaron told Candy’s Dirt. “Just steps away from staple food and beverage hangouts such as Standard Pour and great hidden gems like Si Tapas, this location has all the walkability any urban-dwelling millennial could require — and then some.”

     

    The townhome has been renovated top to bottom in the last two years, and its transitional design has a wide appeal. Along with in-demand hardwood floors, Carrara marble countertops, Viking stainless steel appliances and a Nest thermostat, there are fun flourishes like a chalkboard wall in the living room and tree-patterned wallpaper in the kitchen. Some fixtures, like the faucets in the master bath and the pendant light hanging over the kitchen island, have a retro feel.

     

    All told there is 2,010 square feet, with three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths. There really isn’t a thing to do but move in your furniture. Also handy is the two-car garage. We do love our cars in Dallas, after all, no matter how close we are to where we want to go.

     

    Although it has a lot in the way of competition, the home’s best feature might be the rooftop deck. It has all the party pad essentials: pergola, grill, bar fridge, ceiling fan and room for ample seating. It’s also wired for a wall-mount TV.

     

    Is there a view from up there? Of course; there is a clear shot of downtown. And there had better be for its $625,000 price tag.

    The townhome is located in the State Thomas neighborhood, near all the Uptown hot spots.

    vacation home dreams

    ​2 Texas cities have the most affordable beach shacks to buy

    Port Lavaca Formosa Wetlands Walkway
    portlavaca.org/
    The Formosa Wetlands Walkway in Port Lavaca is a great spot for birdwatching.

    Texans who have longed to buy a home on the Gulf Coast can make their dream a reality by searching for their next home in Port Lavaca or Corpus Christi, which were both named on Realtor.com's list of the 12 most affordable American beach towns for homebuyers in 2025.

    Realtor.com's economists narrowed down the numerous list of American beach destinations based on which towns had at least 50 active residential home listings for the month of April 2025, then ranked them by their median list prices for single-family homes (including condos but excluding mobile homes). To keep the list fair, only two towns were included per state in the top 12.

    Located more than 320 miles from Dallas, Port Lavaca ranked as the No. 5 most affordable beach town with the fifth-most budget-friendly housing prices this past spring. Homes in this quaint Texas town were on the market for a median price of $292,000 in April, the report found.

    Realtor.com said Port Lavaca is a restful place that beckons visitors to "take a breather from the chaotic pace of modern life" through calming activities such as nature walks. The town is also situated along a "major migratory flyway" for 400 different bird species, making it an ideal destination for birdwatching.

    "Although the town is small, with just 11,000 year-round inhabitants, it is not short on attractions and activities, from relaxing on Magnolia Beach to taking a stroll in Bayfront Peninsula Park," the report's author wrote.

    Port Lavaca is also home to several historical monuments and the Calhoun County Museum for any history enthusiasts that want to learn more about the small town.

    The (much busier) city of Corpus Christi ranked as the 8th most affordable beach town in America, with April homes selling for a median price of $310,000. The report said Corpus Christi's bustling population of more than 300,000 residents makes it the most populous city on the list for 2025.

    Corpus Christi is home to more than 100 miles of beaches, including parts of both Padre Island National Seashore and Mustang Island State Park. From water-based activities like kayaking, surfing, or fishing, to visiting iconic attractions like the Selena Museum, Texas State Aquarium, or the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History, there's no shortage of things to do in this coastal paradise.

    The 12 most affordable beach towns for homebuyers are:

    • No. 1 – Pascagoula, Mississippi
    • No. 2 – Deerfield Beach, Florida
    • No. 3 – Atlantic City, New Jersey
    • No. 4 – Port Richey, Florida
    • No. 5 – Port Lavaca, Texas
    • No. 6 – Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
    • No. 7 – Ocean Springs, Mississippi
    • No. 8 – Corpus Christi, Texas
    • No. 9 – Surfside Beach, South Carolina
    • No. 10 – Long Beach, Washington
    • No. 11 – Ocean Shores, Washington
    • No. 12 – Ocean City, Maryland
