Luxe Living

Everything’s within reach at this just-opened Dallas apartment community

At the newly opened Crest at Oak Park, the idea of “luxurious living” isn’t taken lightly. From its thoughtful amenities to its deluxe finishes, the apartment community seems to have taken care of everything.

Including a private park for its residents. Right in the middle of Dallas, at Lemmon Avenue and the Dallas North Tollway and adjacent to Highland Park, is a secluded green space that’s reserved especially for those living there. Imagine going outside to relax under a tree with a good book, or toss a Frisbee when the weather’s nice.

As if the park didn’t offer enough serenity, the resort pool gives everyone a refreshing place to cool off — a must in Texas summers. Add in a fire pit and two grilling areas, and your weekends are covered.

You won’t be there alone, however. Crest at Oak Park is extremely pet-friendly, so your four-legged pals are welcome to join in on your daily adventures. There’s also an area that’s perfect for walks, giving you both a little exercise.

So what about your actual apartment? There are several layouts from which to choose, whether you require one or two bedrooms or an efficiency style. The Beverly, for example, is nearly 1,300 square feet with split bedrooms, making it ideal for roommates. The Mahanna is an entertainer’s dream on two floors, with the bedroom upstairs and enough room downstairs for a couch and a pool table.

All apartments feature granite or quartz countertops and stylish tile backsplashes, along with stainless steel appliances, hardwood-style floors, and soaring ceilings. Add walk-in closets, garden tubs, and the option of a small yard in some units, and you may never want to leave.

If you can drag yourself out though, you’ll find that the location is both convenient and exciting. Famed Dallas restaurants Mia’s Tex-Mex and the original Bob’s Steak and Chop House are nearby; Oak Lawn and Cedar Springs are just a little further.

The best part might be knowing what you’re returning to: an apartment community that feels like home.

Crest at Oak Park offers an array of floor plans for one- and two-bedroom apartments, as well as efficiency options.

Anna, Texas

A major land sale in Anna is paving the way for new mixed-use development. According to a release, Frisco-based Rockhill Capital & Investments struck a deal with the Cox Family to acquire 116 acres at County Road 371 and SH-5, approximately two miles east of US-75.

Younger Partners Executive Managing Director John St. Clair, Vice President Tyler Hemenway, and Associate Davis Willoughby represented the seller in the transaction. The sales price was not disclosed.

Rockhill will sell fully entitled tracts of land to homebuilders, multifamily, and commercial developers.

The single-family portion will be built in phases with development of 325 single-family lots, says Rockhill Chief Development Officer Brent Libby in a statement.

“Construction will likely begin early in Q2 2025,” Libby said. “We’ve already sold 82 of the 116 acres to homebuilder Taylor Morrison and they should break ground first.”

The remaining acres are already being snapped up including 9.5 acres on SH 5 that is under contract to a commercial developer, and interest from a user/developer on the remaining 24 acres, which is zoned for multifamily.

The Cox Family owned the land for decades and had received multiple offers on the property over the years, but were never ready to sell.

“Ultimately, the family wanted to capitalize on the land market before unforeseen market factors took place,” said St. Clair of Younger Partners. “This deal took place at the right time with the right buyer.”

The acquisition nvolved a lengthy zoning process to acquire the land. Rockhill created a Public Improvement District (PID) on the single-family portion of the land, which helped the deal move forward.

Rockhill already has land holdings in nearby high-growth cities of Howe, Van Alstyne, and Sherman, and it ain't stopping here.

“We’ll continue to source and acquire land in the area where we can add value through entitlements, and either develop the property or hold it for some time and exit to another developer or end user,” Libby says.
