Neighborhood Spotlight

Dave Perry-Miller & Associates present homes in sought-after Briarwood

Briarwood is a charming neighborhood that was built on dairy farmland in the 1940s. This community, bordered by Lovers Lane, Inwood Road and Elsby Avenue, originally featured cottages and smaller houses, but today the neighborhood also includes newer, larger homes.

There’s a high demand for properties within Briarwood, thanks to a renewed interest in neighborhoods with a strong family atmosphere, sense of community and low crime rate. Briarwood is within walking distance to a host of restaurants, as well as Inwood Village, which features retail and the Inwood Theater.

Dave Perry-Miller & Associates present three must-see homes located within this close-knit community.

The three-bedroom home at 5022 Elsby Ave., built in 1946, has been updated throughout. This home features a welcoming floor plan, modern kitchen, split large master bedroom with walk-in closets, second living area that can be used as a dining area, and a beautifully landscaped backyard with pool.

Demonstrating the variety of the neighborhood is a newer, 4,574-square foot house. Constructed in 2007, 4703 Elsby Ave. is a traditional home featuring custom accents, open floor plan, abundant natural light, four bedrooms, three living areas, game room and his-and-her garages. Directly behind the home is a park and playground.

Another large, traditional property in Briarwood is 4900 W. Stanford Ave. With an open floor plan, four bedrooms and gourmet kitchen, this home features many modern amenities. The large den overlooks the landscaped backyard, and all of the bedrooms have their own baths.

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.
