For most, midcentury modern conjures up visions of sleek style, clean lines, and a touch of groovy playfulness. In the case of 3923 Weeburn Dr., it's all that plus some truly modern updates that make the home a gorgeous showcase of simplified beauty and contemporary convenience.

Located in Midway Hills and listed by Kathleen Sekula of Ebby Halliday Realtors for $749,999, the four-bedroom, three-bathroom home is an easy drive to both the Dallas North Tollway and LBJ. It's also close to the Hockaday School, a definite plus for buyers whose brood includes young ladies.

This home's abundance of windows can be seen before even stepping foot inside. Floor-to-ceiling in most rooms, the windows are another nod to the midcentury modern practice of creating flow between indoors and out. All that light plays off the hardwood floors that run throughout, except for the ceramic tile in the kitchen.

And about that kitchen: There is nothing about it that even vaguely hints that this home was built in the 1960s. Sparkling quartz countertops, flat-panel cabinets, a glass tile backsplash, and stainless steel Bosch appliances all make it a space where everyone will want to hang out, whether they're cooking or not. It also opens up to the living room and a small eat-in area.

That same luxuriousness carries over into the stunning bathrooms, with the master even boasting dual showerheads in addition to dual sinks and a walk-in closet. Space is certainly not a problem in this 2,727-square-foot gem.

Dallas was a top-10 destination for Gen Zers on the move for 2023

Who wouldn't want to live in a Gen Z paradise like Dallas?

As Gen Z enters adulthood, many are flocking to the nation's biggest cultural hubs like New York City, Los Angeles — and now Dallas, which had the ninth-highest inflow of Gen Zers in 2023.

Dallas' new reputation as a Gen Z hotspot was unveiled in a recent report by American home improvement brand This Old House, which analyzed migration trends across multiple generations using 2023 U.S. Census Bureau data.

Dallas saw an influx of 13,770 Gen Z residents last year to become the generation's No. 9 most popular city. That's 4,223 more Gen Zers than the net migration rate from 2022, the report found.

Real estate marketplace Zillow seems to agree on a statewide scale, declaring Texas as the No. 1 destination for Gen Zers on the move in 2024.

However, as Gen Z Dallasites may have learned, it's going to take a big bite out of their paychecks to live in such a highly sought after city. A March RentCafe housing cost analysis predicted Gen Z adults living in Dallas are likely to spend over $149,000 on rent by the time they are 30 years old.

While Dallas saw big gains in its Gen Z population last year, many other big cities saw a mass exodus. Plano, for example — which gained 1,295 Gen Z residents in 2022 — lost 4,028 Gen Zers in 2023, the report discovered.

The biggest Gen-Z exodus was in El Paso, with a drop of 5,607 — "a sharp turn from 2022 when the city saw an increase," the report said. "Other cities, including Plano, Texas; Memphis, Tennessee; McKinney, Texas; and Wichita, Kansas, are seeing similar declines."

"Gen X, baby boomers, and the Silent Generation are also moving away from major cities, particularly New York City and Washington, D.C.," the report said. "They’re heading to some of the same cities as Gen Z, including Houston and Jacksonville, Florida."

The top 10 cities that gained the most Gen Z residents in 2023 are:

No. 1 – New York City, New York
No. 2 – Los Angeles, California
No. 3 – Houston, Texas
No. 4 – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
No. 5 – Chicago, Illinois
No. 6 – San Diego, California
No. 7 – Seattle, Washington
No. 8 – Charlotte, North Carolina
No. 9 – Dallas, Texas
No. 10 – Minneapolis, Minnesota
