    On the Market

    Multiple retreats await in this sleek and contemporary Lakewood home

    The kitchen truly is the heart of 6924 Santa Barbara Dr. in Dallas, where family and friends can gather around the massive island that's crowned by a gleaming, white, solid-surface top.

    An open plan allows light to flood through the 2015-built contemporary home, which uses its 3,311 square feet effectively. Two of the five bedrooms are on the main floor, including the master retreat in the rear. It's comprised of a sitting area, chic fireplace, walk-in closet, and serene bathroom with separate tub and shower. The spa-like getaway also boasts the most useful of all bathroom features: dual vanities.

    The main level's secondary bedroom is currently being used as a media room, and is outfitted as such with room-darkening window coverings. But when it's time to let in the light, sliding doors open to a private side patio. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms await, two that feature Jack-and-Jill baths and one with its own private suite. A bonus space at the top of the stairs is ideal as a sitting area or game nook.

    Back in the kitchen, professional series appliances and a walk-in pantry should thrill amateur cooks, while a separate bar area is a must for entertaining.

    Vaulted ceilings and a modern brick fireplace highlight the home's sleek, modern style. A wall of sliding doors leads out to the covered rear deck and large yard, which happens to be big enough for a pool (if that's something you're looking to add). But remember that water is only minutes away at White Rock Lake, while the shopping and dining of Lakewood is nearby and the Katy Trail White Rock Loop bike trail extension is across the street.

    Listed by the Hickman + Weber Group with Ebby Halliday Realtors, this contemporary stunner is priced at $849,900.

    Contemporary in style, it was built in 2015.

    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).
