These are the 5 most expensive streets in Dallas where homes are pricey

We know which neighborhoods the wealthiest Dallasites call home — Preston Hollow, University Park, Highland Park. But the number crunchers at Zillow have taken it one step further, identifying the most expensive streets.

Based on Zillow’s analysis of streets with at least 10 homes, these are the priciest in Dallas, with corresponding median home values:

Meadowood Road, Dallas, $6,640,328
Armstrong Parkway, Highland Park, $6,021,739
Hunters Glen Road, University Park, $5,695,148
Braewood Place, Dallas, $4,592,705
Crescent Avenue, Highland Park, $4,453,591

One under-contract property on Meadowood, listed for $7,999,9995 (down from $8,995,000), promises “a rare opportunity to own over three magnificent, park-like, secluded acres at a platinum Old Preston Hollow address.” Built in 1996 by George Lewis and Eric Gram, the 12,000-square-foot home has six beds, nine full and two half baths, media room with sound-proof ceiling and 3-D projector, wine room, four-car garage, and elevator. It had better have an elevator!

But this Meadowood estate pales in comparison to the homes along the most expensive street in America: Indian Creek Island Road in Miami, Florida, where the median home value is $21.48 million. According tothe Miami Herald, Indian Creek, aka Billionaire Bunker, is home to four of the richest people in America.

Nor can Dallas’ most luxurious lanes stand up to Houston’s Lazy Lane Boulevard, in the chichi River Oaks neighborhood, where the median home value is $15,419,752 — good enough for a No. 4 ranking in the country. As for the others on Zillow’s list of the 15 most expensive streets in America, five are in California; three more in Florida; two in Connecticut; and one each in Colorado, New York and Arizona.

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.
