Haute House

This contemporary Oak Lawn townhome fulfills every Dallasite's wish

It is possible to have everything you want in a home and be in a highly sought-after location — and this Oak Lawn townhome is proof. Located right in the coveted neighborhood's heart, 4023 Bowser Ave. combines contemporary design, luxurious features, and multiple outdoor living areas for a home that truly exemplifies elegant urban living.

The three-story property is one of four units, each with its own private, gated entry off Bowser Avenue. A first-floor patio and bedroom give guests space, while the second floor functions as the hub for entertaining.

A gourmet kitchen with glass tile backsplash and a built-in wine cooler opens into the light and bright living and dining rooms, which are delineated by a double-sided gas fireplace. A wall of windows makes the warm wood floors glow, while build-ins give treasured collections somewhere to shine. Two full bathrooms plus a half bathroom with shower provide comfort on each level.

On the third floor resides a study, utility room with washer and dryer, and the master suite, which also boasts its own gas fireplace and a jetted tub. Tray and coffered ceilings add architectural interest while skylights make the rooms seem even bigger, though at 2,443 square feet the home is generously sized for the area. Balconies on the two upper floors supply additional outdoor living space.

In need of even more sunshine? Venture up to the private rooftop deck, which displays city views and offers up more than enough space for a barbecue grill. Perhaps the most unsung hero of urban living, though, is the attached garage, with two of its bays reserved for this address.

Listed for $614,900 with the Hickman and Weber Group at Ebby Halliday Realtors, the townhome also has one more special perk: no HOA fees. Definitely the complete package for Dallasites looking to have it all.

Goodland Grand Prairie

The City of Grand Prairie is growing fast and expanding to make way for a new master-planned development south of US Highway 287 and along Tollway 360, in Ellis and Johnson counties.

The community development, called Goodland, is the result of Grand Prairie’s recent 1,500-acre annexation extending its southern border toward Mansfield. Overall, with the added land, Goodland will be a 5,000-acre site featuring 15,000 residences including townhomes, custom homes, and gated communities for 50,000 residents.

According to a release, it will be a “city within a city” and a 45-minute drive from Dallas-Fort Worth. Beyond housing, there will be shops, restaurants, schools, public and private event venues, regional sports fields and complexes, dance halls, churches, trail systems, city parks, ponds, and preserved green spaces.

“This is a significant step in our city’s development,” says Grand Prairie Mayor Ron Jensen in a statement. “Unlike many of our neighboring cities, we have the unique advantage of new development opportunities to our south that will drive the growth and prosperity of our city. We recognized the opportunity and took decisive action.”

Leading the development is Provident, a Dallas-based real estate firm that has created other master-planned communities across Dallas-Fort Worth, such as Preston Hollow Village and Hillstead in Collin County. Provident has plans to work nature into the space design with more than 1,600 acres of creek corridors and floodplain land.

Plans are ongoing for a centralized mixed-use walkable Town Center, complete with civic buildings and other commercial development. Further south on the property near Highway 67, light industrial uses and other private employment campuses are already underway, projects that will contribute vital tax dollars for city growth and future expansions.

“This level of placemaking is quite rare, and certainly not easy to execute, especially in a brand-new community," says Provident Managing Director Rylan Yowell in a statement. "We are committed to a long-term vision with a desire to be good stewards of the land."

A new four-lane road called Goodland Parkway will link Goodland to Grand Prairie at Tollway 360 and US Highway 287. It's set to open by December 2025.
