Midway Hollow traditional provides entree to in-demand Dallas neighborhood

Located in a secluded cul de sac in the heart of Midway Hollow, 9463 Green Terrace Dr. just hit the market. And with a list price of $398,000, it's not going to be around long.

The home is no fixer upper, either. Luckily for the buyer, the current owner, Jeff Salmon, is a well-known architectural designer, meaning that all 1,973 square feet have been perfectly kept, so the house is more than move-in ready.

The open floorplan has a welcoming entryway leading first into the dining room and then to the living room. A cozy den with bookcases and beautiful hardwoods sets the scene for a family game night around the fireplace while cookies bake in the connecting kitchen.

All three bedrooms are spacious, with the master offering amazing natural light. The two bathrooms have retained the 1950s charm while accommodating the need for a modern update or two.

But perhaps the best part of the house is the backyard, which provides respite from the city. French doors lead out to a private patio and pool — an area made for entertaining but also relaxing after the guests have gone.

Allie Beth Allman listing agent Mark Storer says this neighborhood is bustling with family-minded young professionals, and he is confident that this home can make the right young family very happy too.

"The buyer will appreciate the style of the house and the clean-line finish-out," he says. "It also features lush landscaping and has a very tranquil environment."

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.
