Live like a Dallas Star in the Park Cities manse of Brenden Morrow

Another Dallas Star’s home is on the market. As Candy Evans reported on Candy’s Dirt, former Stars captain Brenden Morrow, who was recently traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins, has listed his Park Cities manse at 3528 Centenary Ave.

There’s no wallpaper on the ceiling, unlike some other Stars’ homes. But what Morrow does have is land: almost three quarters of an acre, which is rare for University Park.

Filling up those 7,300 square feet are five bedrooms, five baths, two half baths, multiple living spaces, formal dining room, media room, wine room and exercise room. Apparently there is also an oversized attic for storage, accessible via elevator, and a putting green. We also dig the patio out back, warmed up by a cozy fireplace.

The interior has a fairly traditional quality, thanks to wooden beams on the ceilings and plenty of bricked archways. But chandeliers up the glam factor in lots of spaces — from the living areas to the bedrooms to a very mirrored bathroom. That’s a lot of reflecting on one’s reflection.

So what will it set you back to live like a Star? Try $4,495,000.

Grand Prairie expands to the south with new master-planned community

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.
