Lake Living

Dave Perry-Miller & Associates present coveted homes near White Rock Lake

White Rock Lake is the pride and joy of Dallas-area nature lovers and fitness enthusiasts. Across the 1,015-acre site, you’ll find nine miles of hiking and biking trails, play areas, green spaces, pavilions, and cultural spots such as Winfrey Point.

For locals and newcomers, proximity to the lake is a home-buying requirement. Dave Perry-Miller & Associates present three beautiful estates that fit the bill.

Tucked away in Forest Hills, within walking distance to the lake, is 1406 San Rafael Dr., a Spanish eclectic home that features stucco exterior, reclaimed glass windows and antique doors. The home offers a versatile floor plan that can be configured based on the homeowner’s needs. Downstairs is the master bedroom, a study, a guest bedroom, a laundry area and a separate wing for guests with private outdoor entry. The second floor features another living area, three bedrooms and a second laundry area. The grounds include an arched patio, a heated pool and a screened-in outdoor living area.

Located on Lakewood’s prestigious namesake thoroughfare, 7242 Lakewood Blvd. is a custom English Tudor with professionally landscaped grounds, mature trees and a view of the lake from the front yard. The distinctive façade features cast stone, wood beams and herringbone bricks. The home boasts six bedrooms, a study, a game room, oversized balconies, a large covered patio with fireplace and a pool with a waterfall grotto.

The home at 1316 Highland Rd. is situated in Forest Hills on a heavily wooded half-acre parcel. This traditional home features an open kitchen, hardwoods and a basement — and plenty of space for remodeling or renovating. The home is just a short walk to White Rock, the Dallas Arboretum and the future site of Arboretum Village.

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.
