    Renovated in Richardson

    Move-in ready home proves you can live well in Dallas for around $200,000

    Jennifer Chininis

    A new listing in Richardson suggests that $200,000 can buy something renovated and move-in ready in the greater Dallas area, and you don't have to stray too far away from the city center to get it. The home at 1500 Stoneham Place has all of the features a family could want, and the price tag is just $217,875 — a curiously odd number, but a refreshing one nonetheless.

     

    This place has curb appeal, thanks to an expansive front porch and an American flag that waves you inside. The house sits on a large lot on a cul de sac, which not only ensures privacy, but also provides plenty of outdoor space for little ones — humans or otherwise — to run around when the weather cooperates.

     

    Inside you'll find hand-scraped floors throughout the main living areas, up the stairs and into all four bedrooms —the home's most stunning design feature. More warmth comes from a living room fireplace, but the space doesn't feel cramped, thanks to vaulted ceilings. A second living area also works as a home office or study.

     

    The upgrades don't stop at the floors. All bathrooms — two full and one half — have upgraded solid-surface countertops and tilework. The kitchen boasts stainless-steel appliances, quartz counters and new backsplash, plus it's big enough for a breakfast area. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining room, which has a big picture window looking out onto the backyard.

     

    The location has its perks: in Richardson ISD, near Yale Elementary, and within walking distance of paved walking trails, which lead to Richardson's Lookout Park and Sherrill Park Golf Park, says Greg Carrera of Ebby Halliday's Shelly Seltzer Group. It's also in proximity to a new Whole Foods Market coming in 2015 — more of those "long-term, location-specific advantages," Carrera remarks. Plus property values should continue to rise in this amenity-rich neighborhood.

     

    All this within a 20-minute drive to downtown, which makes a little commute totally worth it.

    The home at 1500 Stoneham Place in Richardson is listed for less than $220,000.

    Blooming Dallas suburb ranks as America's 7th most livable small city

    Flower Mound, Texas

    Flower Mound has skyrocketed into the top 10 most livable small cities in 2025.

    One Dallas-area city continues to attract the national spotlight: namely Flower Mound, whose latest accolade comes from SmartAsset, the financial technology company, which ranks it as the No. 7 most livable small city in the U.S. for 2025.

    This ranking represents a big jump for this family-focused suburb less than 30 miles from Dallas, which skyrocketed into the top 10 after coming in at No. 29 on the same list last year.

    SmartAsset's annual study compared 279 U.S. cities with populations between 65,000 and 100,000 residents across seven metrics, including a resident's housing costs as a percentage of household income; average commute times; the percentage of residents living below the poverty line; and the proportions of entertainment, food service, and healthcare establishments.

    Flower Mound boasts a population of more than 79,000 residents who earn a median $147,490 in yearly household income, the report found. These residents spend just under 20 percent of their income on their housing costs, which add up to a median $2,454 per month.

    The city is sprawling with employment opportunities on both local and corporate levels, comprising more than 20,000 businesses, and nearly 97 percent of Flower Mound residents have health insurance. Residents spend about 25 minutes on average commuting to their jobs.

    Flower Mound has the second-lowest unemployment rate out of all 20 Texas cities in the report, at just 1.95 percent. The report also added that only 3.3 percent of the city's population is living below the poverty line.

    Earlier this year, Flower Mound's appealing size and relative affordability landed the No. 1 slot on Livability.com's list of best places to live in the U.S. in 2025.

    According to the city's website, Flower Mound prides itself on being a tight-knit, family-oriented community that embraces its small-town feel while still encouraging "a dynamic economic development environment."

    Flower Mound came in as the highest Dallas-Fort Worth city to earn a spot in the top 50, but three other cities also made the list including North Richland Hills, which took a major leap from its 2024 ranking at No. 139 and is now the 48th most livable small city nationwide.

    The two other Dallas-Fort Worth cities that earned spots among the 279 most livable small cities in the nation: Mansfield (No. 138) and Rowlett (No. 181).

    Reducing household expenses or escaping from noise pollution are just a few of the many reasons Americans may choose to move to a smaller city. But the report says not all families are willing to trade a lower cost of living for the convenience of living in a major urban epicenter.

    "Ultimately, a local economy where infrastructure, business, financial prosperity and convenience all intersect may offer the best of all worlds for everyone in the household," the report's author wrote.

    The top 10 most livable small U.S. cities in 2025 are:

    • No. 1 – Plymouth, Minnesota
    • No. 2 – Bloomington, Illinois
    • No. 3 – Livonia, Michigan
    • No. 4 – O'Fallon, Missouri
    • No. 5 – Ankeny, Iowa
    • No. 6 – Lakeville, Minnesota
    • No. 7 – Flower Mound, Texas
    • No. 8 – Eu Claire, Wisconsin
    • No. 9 – Appleton, Wisconsin
    • No. 10 – St. Charles, Missouri
