    Home for the Holidays

    All Dallas buyers want for Christmas is this pristine Munger Place remodel

    Those looking for a home for the holidays would be wise to check out 5025 Junius St., a Munger Place property renovated by Profound Estate. Although updated for today's lifestyle, the American Foursquare home maintains attractive historic features such as built-ins and other Craftsman-style woodwork.

    At 2,894 square feet, this home has plenty of room for a growing family, with five bedrooms, three-and-a-half bedrooms, two living rooms, and a study. The property also features a large backyard, detached two-car garage, and pool.

    Other highlights include the designer kitchen and a master suite with sitting and dressing rooms. But for every new feature in the home, there's a historical tidbit to match it.

    Built in 1918, it is known as the Skielvig-Schoolfield-Little Flower Mission home because of its impressive list of former owners. S.C. Skielvig was an architect who had a hand in building courthouses in North Texas. Next up were Benjamin Schoolfield, a respected orthopedist, and his wife. Buyers will also delight to know the home once served as the headquarters for the Little Flower Missionary Society, the oldest organization at Saint Thomas Aquinas Parish.

    Skielvig-Schoolfield-Little Flower Mission HouseThis home is an American Four Square design which can be seen in its square layout featuring large, boxy rooms which make the most of the space on a small city lot. Other elements signature to this style of design include arched entries between rooms, built-ins, and Craftsman-style woodwork.

    Rogers Healy & Associates listing agent Vince Leibowitz notes that as much care was taken to make this home structurally sound as it is strikingly beautiful.

    Perhaps the best part about this property is its $550,000 price tag. For the right buyer, this historical yet renovated home located this close to downtown is hard to beat.

    Dallas-Fort Worth ranks among top 25 most livable U.S. metros in 2026

    Dallas-Fort Worth is the most livable metro in Texas for 2026.

    Americans looking for the right place to live with a good balance between location, community, and quality of life can find that right here in Dallas-Fort Worth, according to a national study from RentCafe.

    The North Texas region stood out as the No. 1 most livable metro area in Texas, and the 24th most livable U.S. metro for 2026.

    RentCafe's report analyzed 149 U.S. metro areas across 17 key indicators, including cost of living, income growth rates, "social association" rates, a food index, and others.

    The top three most livable American metros are Washington, D.C. (No. 1); Portland, Maine (No. 2); and Kansas City, Missouri (No. 3).

    Here's how Dallas-Fort Worth performed in the study's three main rankings compared to the rest of the U.S.:

    • No. 28 – Socioeconomics
    • No. 38 – Quality of life
    • No. 52 – Location and community

    According to the findings, more than a third (34.4 percent) of Dallas-Fort Worth's 8.25 million residents are renters, and less than a tenth (9.7 percent) of residents are living in poverty. The city has an unemployment rate of 4.5 percent, and less than half (45.7 percent) of DFW workers report having a "long commute."

    The cost of living in Dallas-Fort Worth is 2 percent lower than the national average, the report said, and residents' income has grown 6 percent over the last five years, though the report doesn't elaborate on what those income figures are.

    Based on a survey from CountyHealthRankings.com, RentCafe says Dallas residents experience about three "physically unhealthy" days on average, and an average of five "mentally unhealthy" days. Only 17.4 percent of DFW residents are reportedly "physically inactive" and 10.6 percent report they are uninsured.

    Overall, 10 more Texas metros earned spots in the report, but they surprisingly all landed outside the top 100 most livable U.S. metros.

    Those other Texas metro areas are:

    • No. 117 – Killeen
    • No. 125 – Corpus Christi
    • No. 127 – Houston
    • No. 130 – Austin
    • No. 134 – Beaumont
    • No. 138 – El Paso
    • No. 145 – Lubbock
    • No. 147 – San Antonio
    • No. 148 – Brownsville
    • No. 149 – McAllen
