    Greek Style

    Look inside the gates of this pedigreed Highland Park estate with Greek flair

    Candy Evans

    An on-the-market Park Cities estate has history and a bit of modern Greek flavor. It’s the home of Mary Ann and Frank Mihalopoulos, a commercial real estate developer, which they have lived in since 2003. The house was previously owned by a Trammell S. Crow family trust.

    Nestled on almost 1 acre of secluded Highland Park prime dirt, the home at 4400 Saint Johns Dr. has a gated entrance and extensive property wall for privacy. And don’t let the age of this stunning home throw you, either. Built in 1939, the home was completely remodeled in 2002 and 2014 while retaining all the grace and charm of the original grand structure.

    The formal rooms are breathtaking, the windows floor to ceiling, the six bedrooms large and airy, and the detailed artistry abounds in every corner. Although traditional, it hardly feels stuffy.

    Of course the house, all 11,973 square feet of it, is stunning. But the backyard is an oasis that will remind you way more of the Greek Isles than Dallas. There are mature trees, a pool as sparkling as the Gulf of Mirabella, and a spa guest house and cabana.

    The home is listed with the queen of high-end Dallas real estate, Allie Beth Allman, for $12,950,000 but periménete! That’s a reduction from $14,995,000.

    Big City News

    Dallas neighbor is the No. 1 fastest-growing affordable city in U.S.

    A new national study has declared Texas is home to the most affordable, fast-growing cities in the country, with Dallas suburb Frisco taking the lead at No. 1.

    Frisco and five more Dallas neighbors ranked high on GoBankingRates.com's new list of "50 Most Affordable, Fastest-Growing Cities in 2025."

    The personal finance website's experts analyzed U.S. cities to find the most affordable places with large population growth based one-year and five-year population growth rates higher than the national average. Additional factors considered include each city's median household income, average home values, average rental cost, and average mortgage cost.

    The report said Frisco's population swelled nearly 27 percent over the last five years, though it does appear to be slowing down as the suburb's one-year growth rate was only 4 percent. However, its rapid growth further proves that this buzzy city is one of the most desirable places to move to.

    The study also found the average Frisco home is valued at more than $678,000, which at first look isn't as affordable as other Dallas-area cities. However, GoBankingRates deems this "affordable" since the median Frisco household income is $146,000.

    The study also determined the total cost of living for a Frisco homeowner comes out to $72,262 annually. Renters have a cheaper cost of living, totaling $46,718 per year.

    McKinney and Allen also earned top-five spots in the report, earning respectable ranks as the third and fifth most affordable and fast-growing U.S. cities. Both cities had higher five-year growth rates than the national average – 16.6 percent in McKinney and 8.5 percent in Allen – and they both have similar average home values ($512,667 in McKinney, and $514,490 in Allen).

    McKinney's affordability has been a hot topic in 2025 after Motley Fool Money ranked the suburb the No. 1 most affordable U.S. city in its own analysis. The city will only become more popular after its $1.3 billion mixed-use development is completed within the next decade.

    The three other Dallas neighbors that ranked among the most affordable and fast-growing cities list are Lewisville (No. 8), Denton (No. 19), and Fort Worth (No. 26).

    Six more Texas cities earned spots in the report: the Houston suburbs of League City (No. 7) and Pearland (No. 11); Austin (No. 35) and its neighbor Round Rock (No. 10); the Rio Grande Valley city of Edinburg (No. 43); and Central Texas city Killeen (No. 49).
