    Uptown Luxe Living

    Every day feels like a getaway at these swanky Uptown Dallas apartments

    CultureMap Create

    Imagine gathering for a fun event with all your friends in a swanky club room that's outfitted with shuffleboard, a pool table, and a flatscreen TV. A fully equipped kitchen is prepped to stock snacks and drinks, and you don’t have to even worry about Ubering home at the end of the night.

    But here's the kicker: You're not on vacation or at an upscale lounge. You're in your own apartment community.

    Alara Uptown is known for pampering its residents, but there are even more exciting additions on the horizon. The apartments, which sit on a prime spot right across from West Village, are sprucing up even more to keep pace with the gorgeous and ever-improving neighborhood.

    Walking into Alara is like entering a boutique hotel, with its artistic light fixtures, wood and shell-tile wall features, plush furniture, and long gas fireplace placed above a white banquette. Welcoming team members who are adept at anticipating and exceeding expectations are on-hand should any questions arise, or just to offer a friendly face at the end of a long day.

    That same high-end feel extends to all its units, which range from studio to one- and two-bedroom floorplans. Handscraped wood floors and granite countertops are featured, along with spa-like bathrooms and enough closet space to support living across the street from all those shops.

    This walkable area of Dallas is a definite plus if there’s a pooch in your life. But sometimes there’s not room in the schedule for a jog down the Katy Trail, and so the onsite pet park gives four-legged friends a space to stretch their legs and play a game or two of fetch. Alara’s beautiful courtyard is also ideal for when fresh air is a must, with its firepit, barbecues, and multiple seating areas.

    Convenience is big at Alara Uptown — take, for example, the bank of lockers set up for easy drop-off and pick-up of dry cleaning. The fitness center is also open 24 hours, and it’s undergoing a mini-facelift too. The new lighting and décor will be on par with the existing Technogym equipment (you can watch DirecTV, plug into social media, or plug in your iPad, iPod, or smartphone on each cardio machine), making the gym somewhere you’ll actually want to be.

    That’s what life is like at Alara Uptown: somewhere where everyday life is easier and there’s always the chance for fun.

    Alara Uptown's pool is an oasis in the middle of the city.

    $1M buys a bigger home in Dallas than nearly any other U.S. city

    This over-the-top Dallas home is on the market for $1.475 million.

    Affluent homebuyers looking for a spacious home on a $1 million budget will find the most space for the price in Dallas, according to a new housing study.

    Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington ranked No. 5 in Realtor.com's analysis of cities that offer the most square feet for a $1 million price tag for 2025.

    The report examined September 2025 real estate listing trends to determine the top five metros where a $1-$2 million budget goes the furthest and the top five where it goes the shortest.

    The No. 1 U.S. metro where $1 million goes the furthest is Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, Georgia. Six-figure earning homebuyers can nab a 4,530-square-foot home in this metro for $1-$2 million.

    In DFW, the same price could net a 4,072-square-foot home, Realtor.com's data revealed, whereas the national average home a person could buy with a million dollars is 2,994 square feet.

    For reference, the median list price of a Dallas home in September came out to $425,000, according to Zillow.

    There were 1,954 million-dollar listings on the market across the Metroplex in September, and 10 percent of the most expensive listings in the metro started at $992,526.

    Realtor.com senior economist Anthony Smith said affluent homebuyers get more value for their money by purchasing homes in Southern cities like Dallas than they can get in other regions of America.

    "Luxury buyers are increasingly seeking value — and that doesn't always mean a lower price tag, but rather more home for the money," Smith said. "In markets like Honolulu or the Bay Area, buyers are paying for proximity, views, and prestige — not square footage. By contrast, in inland metros across the South and Midwest, high-end buyers can often find larger, newer homes with land and amenities that would cost two or three times as much in more supply-constrained coastal metros."

    Elsewhere in Texas, Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands ranked right above Dallas-Fort Worth as the No. 4 U.S. metro where $1 million nets the most square footage of a home. Houston-area millionaires can buy a 4,112-square-foot home for this six-figure price.

    The top five metros that offer the most square feet for $1 million are:

    • No. 1 – Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, Georgia
    • No. 2 – Denver-Aurora-Centennial, Colorado
    • No. 3 – Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, Minnesota-Wisconsin
    • No. 4 – Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands, Texas
    • No. 5 – Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas

    Meanwhile, the five U.S. metros that net the least square footage for $1 million are: Urban Honolulu, Hawaii (No. 1); San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, California (No. 2); San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, California (No. 3); Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, California (No. 4); and New York-Newark-New Jersey, New York-New Jersey (No. 5).
