    Unlocking affordability

    Here's how much house you can get for $350,000 in Dallas, says new report

    This 1,568-square-foot Dallas home is on the market for $350,000.

    When it comes to buying a home that supplies the most space for the price, you don't get quite as much in Dallas proper as you do in some of its largest suburbs, a new study indicates.

    For the study, real estate platform RealtyHop looked at how much square footage a homebuyer could get for a median price of $350,000 in the country’s 100 largest cities.

    The study found that in Dallas, a buyer could pick up a 1,574 square foot home for $350,000, or $222.36 per square foot.

    But in Plano, that size goes up to 1,741 square feet, or $201.03 per square foot. In Irving, it's 1,769 square feet, or $197.81 per square foot. In Garland, it's a whopping 2,013 square feet, $173.91 per square foot.

    Across county lines, in Tarrant, buyers in Fort Worth can get 2,204 square feet ($172.92 per square foot) and in Arlington, they can get 2,056 square feet ($170.26 per square foot).

    Note that the median home size in Texas is around 2,000 square feet.

    To contrast with other large and fast-growing cities in Texas, the study found that in Houston, a buyer could pick up a 1,804-square-foot home for $350,000, or $194.06 per square foot. Whereas, in Austin, they get only a tiny 1,056-square-foot home ($332.10 per square foot).

    RealtyHop cites Houston and San Antonio (2,116 square feet, $165.38 per square foot) as two of the standouts in the U.S. for affordable housing.

    Nationally, San Francisco tops the list of least affordable cities. There, $350,000 will get you a measly 349 square feet of space ($1,003.18 per square foot). At the other end of the spectrum, that sum will get you the most space (4,769 square feet, close to the size of a small mansion) in Detroit. That adds up to just $73.39 per square foot.

    “For many, the tradeoff between space and cost is a deciding factor on where they choose to settle down. Should you buy a tiny studio in Manhattan or a large townhouse in Atlanta?” RealtyHop observes. “The reality is that living in certain places often means downsizing your expectations.”

    Here’s what $350,000 will buy you in the largest cities in Texas, according to RealtyHop:

    • Austin, 1,056 square feet, $332.10 per square foot.
    • Dallas, 1,574 square feet, $222.36 per square foot.
    • Plano, 1,741 square feet, $201.03 per square foot.
    • Irving, 1,769 square feet, $197.81 per square foot.
    • Houston, 1,804 square feet, $194.06 per square foot.
    • Garland, 2,013 square feet, $173.91 per square foot.
    • Fort Worth, 2,204 square feet, $172.92 per square foot.
    • Arlington, 2,056 square feet, $170.26 per square foot.
    • Corpus Christi, 2,092 square feet, $167.27 per square foot.
    • San Antonio, 2,116 square feet, $165.38 per square foot.
    • El Paso, 2,742 square feet, $127.65 per square foot.
    • Laredo, 2,842 square feet, $123.13 per square foot.
    • Lubbock, 3,569 square feet, $98.07 per square foot.

    Once-in-a-century 3-acre estate for sale in Dallas' Preston Hollow

    A once-in-a-generation estate has hit the market in Dallas' Preston Hollow neighborhood. Located at 9511 Inwood Rd., the home is being offered for sale for the first time in more than a century, having remained under the stewardship of the same family since at least 1940 when the current home was built.

    Situated on nearly three acres on a corner lot, it's an English-style estate surrounded by century-old hardwoods and manicured landscaping, creating a private sanctuary in the middle of the city.

    There's a main residence, guest quarters, and two workshops, one featuring a rail-mounted hoist and enhanced electrical systems.

    Listed for $7,500,000, the home has 4,675 square feet with four bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and a five-car garage.

    The property is free from both floodplain and historic designation, allowing a buyer to remodel, rebuild, or (ugh) subdivide. It also has three curb cuts — two on Inwood Road and one on Park Lane — with the possibility of a posh Park Lane address.

    It's also zoned for horses and other animals, and a perimeter privacy wall can be added.

    According to listing agent Andrea Childress with The Agency Dallas, the property was originally known as Sunnyslope Estate, and was developed more than 100 years ago by oilman M.H. Marr, who was searching for a place to settle with his family when he discovered the tract of land on what was then the edge of Dallas and is now in the heart of Preston Hollow.

    Marr's wife, Adah Yale Marr, was known for her prominent social presence, entertaining various figures and hosting business gatherings with Dallas families like the Hunts, Meadows, and DeGolyers among their guests.

    Childress calls it "more than just a listing—it’s a landmark."

    "Properties like this simply don’t exist anymore, especially with this kind of acreage, location, and legacy,” she says.
