Building Community

How to get into Dallas' best neighborhoods with a brand-new home

Think of your ideal Dallas neighborhood: Is it near White Rock Lake? The M Streets? In Oak Cliff, by the famous Belmont Hotel? These are only some of the areas where PSW Real Estate has built its communities, offering homeowners their dream lifestyle with smartly designed, energy efficient new homes and the feeling of a tightly knit neighborhood.

Instead of sprawling outward, PSW is known for choosing dynamic, urban areas and enhancing what's already great about the locations. The newly built homes maximize their footprints for ultimate livability, sporting modern layouts, clean lines, plenty of natural light, and luxe materials. Walkability is also key, so that you're able to enjoy all that your particular slice of Dallas has to offer without relying on a long commute.

There are currently six PSW communities under construction in Dallas, with another that will begin selling this summer. Each is distinct, working with the area's vibe while boosting neighborhood's overall attractiveness with a real sense of belonging.

Take 5300 Glencoe Park, for example. For a starting price of around $554,000, you could be situated just north of the popular park — with Mockingbird Station, SMU, Greenville Avenue, and Stonewall Jackson Elementary School all nearby — and enjoy new construction in the M Streets area, with such money-saving bonuses as solar panels, spray foam insulation, and a tankless hot water heater.

Or at the Verbena community, you could get into the Preston Hollow area at a price point that at first seems impossible. Starting in the mid-$600s, you could be minutes from Northaven Trail, the Jewish Community Center, Preston Hollow Village, NorthPark Center, and The Shops At Park Lane.

In East Dallas, right next to the newly revitalized Casa Linda shopping area and Dallas Arboretum, are the single-family residences and townhomes of Emerald Point. The most incredible perk of this community is its immediate access to White Rock Lake — you don't even need to cross the street to reach its shores.

Just as each community thoughtfully takes its surroundings into consideration, it also keeps the residents' satisfaction top of mind. PSW hosts epic gatherings that help turn neighbors into friends, and it's not uncommon for homeowners to then create their own get-togethers and groups. Better yet, you'll always have someone with whom to go out and explore Dallas.

This is an Dallasite's sign to launch that small business they've been dreaming of.

After three years of debate, the Dallas City Council voted 11-4 in favor of ForwardDallas, an update to its 2006 comprehensive land use plan, which will decide how and where the City of Dallas should grow over the coming decades.

The plan was built around Environmental Justice and Sustainability, Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) and Connectivity, Housing Choice and Access, Economic Development and Revitalization, Community and Urban Design.

ForwardDallas was originally adopted in 2006. Since then, Dallas has undergone unprecedented growth. By reimagining how the City uses its land, it has identified new opportunities to design spaces that offer equitable access to resources, reinforce the strengths of our communities, and foster continued growth as a thriving, accessible city for all.

Today’s vote follows nearly three years of stakeholder feedback, including more than 200 in-person events, and more than 70 virtual events. The ForwardDallas 2.0 website has had more than 25,000 visits and 1,600 web map comments. The first full draft of the plan was published for public review in September 2023. The Dallas City Council Economic Development Committee, City Plan Commission (CPC), and the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Committee (CLUP) provided guidance to the plan’s evolution and final approval for the City Council to consider.

The council took hours to vote, addin numerous amendments along the way.

Voting in favor were Chad West, Zarin Gracey, Adam Bazaldua, Jaime Resendez, Jaynie Schultz, Tennell Atkins, Kathy Stewart, Paula Blackmon, Omar Narvaez, Gay Donnell Willis, and Paul Ridley. Voting against were Carolyn King Arnold, Cara Mendelsohn, Jesse Moreno, and Mayor Eric Johnson.

“ForwardDallas 2.0 is a collaborative effort that could not have been achieved without the hard work of City of Dallas staff, elected and appointed officials, and our many residents who participated through feedback,” said Mayor Pro Tem Tennell Atkins, who also serves as the Chair of the Economic Development Committee. “This critical and much needed update creates a path forward for our City while addressing decades long, systemic land use issues. It considers the City’s future growth, provides protection for existing neighborhoods, and addresses head on historic environmental and social inequities.”

“This journey began with the goal of developing a strategic roadmap to support Dallas’ growth and social vibrancy while preserving the quality of life for all. We appreciate Chair Atkin’s leadership, the support of the City Council, the City Plan Commission, Comprehensive Land Use Plan Committee and our residents for the feedback and guidance they have provided over the last three years,” said Interim City Manager Kimberly Bizor Tolbert. “We look forward to implementing ForwardDallas 2.0, reporting out on it and being held accountable for its progress. Finally, I want to thank our City of Dallas team who championed this effort. Their level of engagement to ensure every voice was heard is a testament to their unwavering dedication to our City and delivering Service First, Now!”
