    Rent the Good Life

    These luxe Dallas townhome communities collect major style points

    Adulting just got a lot easier — especially if you're renting at The Collection. With two locations available now — one in historic East Dallas the other at Knox-Henderson — and more coming this fall, The Collection offers the feel of owning a home without the hassle or down payment. Nothing is standard, and detail is everything.

    The 14 finely appointed townhomes of The Collection at Moser North are in the heart of Dallas' Knox-Henderson neighborhood, and only a short walk to the area's hot restaurants and nightlife.

    Stunning modern design makes a statement in the two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom layouts, which are designed to welcome guests to a spacious study on the first floor and family room with open concept kitchen on the second.

    The kitchen is decked out with some of the most amazing tech you can imagine, including a WiFi-enabled Samsung oven and refrigerator (a WiFi-enabled garage door lets you check to make sure you really closed it when you left).

    Whether you want to turn on a little cooking music from Pandora or give in and order GrubHub, you can do so from the smart fridge. And when it's grocery time, either place your InstaCart order straight from the fridge or use the camera embedded inside to check if you already have eggs or need more milk. A large island with quartz countertops and Shaker-style cabinets with soft close doors and drawers complete the kitchen design.

    On the top floor you'll find both bedrooms, each boasting its own bathroom and roomy closet. Big windows outfitted with custom roll-down shades run throughout the townhomes.

    A 200-square-foot patio with arched ceiling on the main floor is also — you guessed it — pre-wired. You can immediately hang a smart TV, set up your grill, pour a glass of wine, and start entertaining.

    European in design, the 13 townhomes of The Collection at Live Oak feature open-concept floorplans and 10-foot ceilings on the main level. In addition to perks like wine coolers, Bosch stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, oak hardwood floors, and attached two-car garages, some units even have their own private yards.

    The top-floor master even comes with designer built-ins, so the super organized can breathe easy and the less-than-organized can hopefully find inspiration.

    This maintenance-free lifestyle is just minutes from White Rock Lake and the Dallas Arboretum, with Greenville Avenue only a short distance away.

    Interested in making either Collection your new home? Call 214-940-5636 or visit The Collection's website for more information and to schedule a tour. Mention "CultureMap" and you'll receive a $500 discount.

    Super-tall ceilings are standard.

    housing affordability news

    Dallas named No. 2 Southern city where homes are becoming more affordable

    A new real estate analysis has revealed housing prices across the Southern United States have seen a major large-scale decline from 2024-2025, with North Texas homebuyers experiencing the second-steepest "price correction" in the region.

    Dallas-Fort Worth buyers have a better chance of purchasing an affordable home this year after prices cooled 5.71 percent from 2024-2025, the study found.

    Online real estate marketplace Zoocasa compared year-over-year median price changes for single-family homes across 20 cities in the South based on local real estate data. The study also looked at housing affordability in the American West, Midwest, and Northeast.

    In Zoocasa's ranking of the Southern cities where affordability is improving the most, Dallas ranked No. 2.

    In 2024, the median price for a single-family home in Dallas was nearly $398,000, which has since dropped to $375,000 in 2025. North Texas sellers may not be happy about cooling prices, but it does make housing more attainable for first-time homebuyers.

    Better housing prices will surely attract even more new residents to the DFW area, especially when one considers Dallas was the No. 1 destination for movers in 2025, and its suburbs are still booming in popularity.

    "Affordability is on the rise across Texas, with major cities seeing significant price corrections," the report said. "Most importantly for buyers, the median home price in each of these cities remains more affordable than the national median."

    The national median price of a home in the third quarter of 2025 was $426,800, according to the latest information from the National Association of Realtors (NAR).

    Housing affordability elsewhere in Texas
    In Beaumont-Port Arthur (a metro area east of Houston), housing prices have fallen 4.62 percent year-over-year, making it the metro with the No. 5 steepest price correction in the South. Median home prices dropped to $217,000 in 2025, or $10,500 lower than the year before, the report found.

    Austin's housing prices fell 2.04 percent during the same time span, landing the Capital City in the No. 9 spot. The median price of a single-family home in Austin fell from $437,925 in 2024 to $429,000 last year.

    Houston appeared just outside the top 10, ranking 11th out of 20 Southern cities, with housing prices falling by 1.5 percent during the one-year period. Houston housing prices in 2025 fell to $335,000, or $5,000 lower than the year before.

    Surprisingly, San Antonio ranked near the bottom of the list with housing prices increasing by five percent year-over-year. Single-family homes in the Alamo City had a median price just under $300,000 in 2024, which spiked to $315,000 in 2025.

    Housing market predictions in 2026
    Zoocasa predicts the 2026 U.S. housing market is "poised for a steady revival" since mortgage rates have dipped nearly a full percentage point since this time last year. Current interest rates for a a 30-year mortgage are sitting at 6.16 percent, the study said.

    The NAR report additionally found that pending home sales have grown by 2.6 percent year-over-year from 2024.

    "Homebuyer momentum is building," said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. "The data shows the strongest performance of the year after accounting for seasonal factors, and the best performance in nearly three years, dating back to February 2023."

    The top 10 Southern cities where housing affordability is improving the most in 2026 are:

    • No. 1 – Naples-Immokalee-Marco Island, Florida
    • No. 2 – Dallas, Texas
    • No. 3 – Durham, North Carolina
    • No. 4 – Ocala, Florida
    • No. 5 – Beaumont-Port Arthur, Texas
    • No. 6 – Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Florida
    • No. 7 – Jacksonville, Florida
    • No. 8 – Atlanta, Georgia
    • No. 9 – Austin, Texas
    • No. 10 – Raleigh, North Carolina
