Victorious Living

Victory Park is your playground at these ultra-cool Dallas apartments

You know that feeling when you're exploring a city and you stumble upon the coolest neighborhood and think how amazing it would be to live there? Right now Dallasites are getting that feeling when they rediscover Victory Park, and instead of simply visiting you could be living there in the deluxe SkyHouse Dallas apartments.

Of course by now you know that the ultra-cool homes at SkyHouse come with all the bells and whistles, but the incredibly convenient location is an added bonus. Victory Park is in the heart of Dallas, surrounded by the Design District, the Arts District, Klyde Warren Park, and the gorgeous Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge. The area is currently undergoing an evolution, as new phases are being built to join the existing neighborhood of shops, restaurants, and event venues.

The American Airlines Center, for example, is less than half a mile away from the SkyHouse high-rise, meaning that you'll never get stuck in traffic when attending a big-name concert of Stars or Mavericks game. Like your music a little more intimate? House of Blues is literally next door.

An array of delicious restaurants nearby makes it easy to enjoy a meal out. Buzzbrews Kitchen, Olivella's Pizza Napoletana, Victory Tavern, Hard Rock Cafe, and Cook Hall offer up a variety of menu styles, from vegetarian-friendly diner fare and authentic Roman pizza pies to juicy burgers and innovative high-end cuisine.

Retail therapy is also only a few steps away, from the fashions of V.O.D. Boutique to the gorgeous blooms of Simply Elegant Dallas. Need to find the perfect housewarming, birthday, or thank-you gift? Seek out Read Between the Lines for handmade jewelry, chic housewares, cheeky greeting cards, and glossy coffee-table books.

Even your body is taken care of, with Joanna Czech and Bliss Spa tending to your nails and complexion, Yoga Pod and Classic Pilates stretching your muscles, and Chad Rookstool Salon keeping your mane perfectly coifed.

Want to nerd out one weekend or afternoon? The Perot Museum of Nature and Science is in your backyard, and the neighborhood is also implementing an amazing public art program. Hop over to Klyde Warren Park and enjoy the diverse array of food trucks and seemingly endless roster of events (everything from yoga and zumba to live music and children's story time). Also walkable is the entrance to the Katy Trail: it's right next to the AAC, and delivers you onto Dallas' most popular walking, cycling, and in-line skating trail.

And there's even more in the works for the neighborhood. Cinepolis is opening a luxury movie theater in early 2018 (hello, food and drinks delivered to your reclining leather seat!) and there will also be a retail emporium and creative workspace for local artists. More retail and restaurant space is of course part of the plans, including shops on both sides of Victory Park Lane.

So make your home in the center of it all at SkyHouse Dallas. Call (469) 291-8949 or email SimpsonHousing@aptleasing.info to learn more or schedule a walk-through Although you might want to invest in a pull-out couch — we can’t promise that your friends and family won’t be crashing all the time.

The tide has turned for the Dallas housing market, and buyers now have more power than ever to negotiate on their forever home, a new real estate report has confirmed.

Dallas has now become one of the top 10 strongest buyer's markets in the nation with sellers outnumbering buyers by 107 percent, Redfin's newest market trends report found.

Nationally, sellers outnumbered buyers by 58 percent in August 2026, which Redfin says is the largest gap on record. Out of the 49 most populous metros in the U.S., only five are considered seller's markets, and eight are considered "balanced" markets where the number of buyers and sellers are nearly equal.

That leaves the remaining 36 most populated U.S. metros as buyer's markets, which includes the biggest cities in the Lone Star State. In fact, four Texas cities rank among the 10 strongest buyer's markets in the country right now: Houston (No. 3), San Antonio (No. 6), Austin (No. 7), and Dallas (No. 8).

There were 30,854 sellers on the market in Dallas last month, more than double the amount of buyers (14,865). The market's tilt in favor of house hunters allows more legroom to be picky with the increased supply of available housing, while falling demand indicates less competition with other buyers.

"In most markets, buyers should negotiate on price and ask for concessions like repairs or help with closing costs," said Redfin senior economist Asad Khan. "Buyers shouldn’t assume every seller will budge, especially on a desirable home that’s already priced well, but they don’t need to rush into a deal that doesn’t feel right."

For sellers that want to stand out in a saturated market, Redfin suggests they should price their homes competitively and be prepared to negotiate.

A separate Redfin report found mid-September is the best time for Dallasites to buy a home, but other experts say hesitant shoppers have until early October to take the plunge.

Regardless of the timeline, the report warns that the recent surge of available housing is only beneficial for homebuyers that can afford it.

"High housing costs and widespread economic uncertainty have caused many would-be buyers to back off in recent years, creating the imbalance of buyers and sellers we see today," the report said.

The median price of a home in Dallas came out to $408,561 in August, though 79 percent of all home sales in the city sold for below their original asking price.

The top 10 strongest buyer's markets in the U.S. are:

No. 1 – Nashville, Tennessee
No. 2 – Miami, Florida
No. 3 – Houston, Texas
No. 4 – Orlando, Florida
No. 5 – Las Vegas, Nevada
No. 6 – San Antonio, Texas
No. 7 – Austin, Texas
No. 8 – Dallas, Texas
No. 9 – Atlanta, Georgia
No. 10 – Phoenix, Arizona

"Nashville, Texas, and Florida are home to robust buyer’s markets partly because they have some of the most active homebuilding pipelines in the country, with newly built homes continuing to hit the market even as demand cools," the report said.
