Hot Real Estate

Literally all of Greenville Avenue is steps from this pretty East Dallas townhouse

Whether we're talking about real estate, food or drink, East Dallas is on fire right now. This new listing at 15 Stonebriar Court, priced at $315,000, is located right in the middle of this heat map — so much so that it's already under contract.

Listing agent Grey Reed knew this property was going to get scooped up quickly because of its proximity to all of Greenville Avenue's hottest destinations, including HG Sply Co., Rapscallion, Blind Butcher and Trader Joe's. Need a morning cup of coffee? No worries — Mudsmith serves up a mean latte. Looking for a night cap? Head to The Libertine Bar and meet your new neighbors.

Walking into this property, you are greeted with a large living room that phases into the dining area and kitchen boasting granite countertops. Off the kitchen nook is a back patio that has room for a grill for cook-outs with friends. Lovers of functional updates will appreciate the two-year-old stairway and iron bannister that transports you safely to the second floor.

This three-bedroom home has two full bathrooms and one half bath, so your guests will have plenty of space to get ready before you hit the town. The master bedroom has beautiful vaulted ceilings. The master bath features granite countertops, a rainfall shower head and double vanities. The Juliet balcony is the perfect place to unwind and take in your fabulous location.

One of the most unique aspects of this home is that it is located in a gated community, rare considering its proximity to downtown. This added safety feature is great when exiting through your front door or two-car garage.

Although this townhouse is relatively small at 1,530 square feet, its perfectly positioned floorplan gives single and married professionals alike plenty of options to make this a great, move-in ready home.

The dining nook is the perfect size for a traditional or high-top table.

New apartment complex in Oak Lawn Dallas caters to LGBTQ seniors

Oak Lawn Place

A new apartment complex in Dallas’ Oak Lawn neighborhood provides a place for an older segment of LGBTQ individuals: Oak Lawn Place apartments is now open at 5723 Sadler Cir.

Oak Lawn Place apartments has 84 units for senior residents who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) age 55 and older. And it’s all thanks to a $750,000 Affordable Housing Program (AHP) grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (FHLB).

Resource Center of Dallas, an organization that started in 1983 as a service for people with HIV/AIDS that now provides additional LGBTQ+ services, was awarded the grant through Veritex Community Bank.

According to a release, the apartment complex is designed to help low-income older residents and will include meeting rooms, a fitness center, a dog park, and onsite activities. There’s also convenient access to healthcare facilities, public transportation, and entertainment.

Rent for the single and double occupancy apartment units will be income-based.

“The generous $750,000 AHP grant provided through FHLB Dallas was a critical component of the capital stack that helped provide the necessary funding that has made it possible for Resource Center to create Oak Lawn Place, a welcoming residential development that we are proud to bring to Dallas,” says Cece Cox, Resource Center of Dallas CEO, in a statement.

AHP grants fund home rehabilitation and modifications for low-income, elderly and special-needs residents, down payment and closing cost assistance for first-time homebuyers, and the construction of low-income multifamily and single-family homes through institutions, like Veritex Community Bank.

“This is an example of affordable housing designed to meet a particular need in Dallas, and we were pleased to work with our member, Veritex Bank, to assist with the AHP grant, which is known for providing critical gap funding to get projects over the finish line,” says Greg Hettrick, Senior VP and Director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas, in a statement.

The Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, with total assets of $126.2 billion as of June 30, 2024, is a member-owned cooperative that supports housing and community development by providing competitively priced advances and other credit products to approximately 815 members and associated institutions in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Texas.
