What kinds of homes are for sale in Dallas?

Downtown, Uptown and Deep Ellum hold most of the city's residential towers, condos and converted lofts. East Dallas and Lakewood have Craftsman, Tudor, Prairie and Spanish Eclectic homes, from small bungalows to estates. Oak Cliff mixes turn-of-the-century and mid-1900s homes on hilly streets.

Farther north, Lake Highlands is a collection of subdivisions with creek trails, and Preston Hollow has many homes on large lots. Far North Dallas runs up to the President George Bush Turnpike and has more suburban-style streets. Compare areas side by side in the Dallas relocation guide.

Which parts of Dallas should I start with?

If you want to be near rail, restaurants and venues, start with Downtown, Uptown and Deep Ellum, and read the Dallas condo guide. If you want an older home with character, tour Lakewood, East Dallas and North Oak Cliff. If you want a yard and a newer layout, compare Lake Highlands and Far North Dallas.

Mariela works at your pace. If you are ready to write an offer this week, she can line up tours fast. If you want a few months to learn the city, she can map out a steady plan.

What should buyers check before making an offer in Dallas?

Confirm the county, the appraisal district and the school district for every address. Far North Dallas alone spans three counties, and parts of the city sit in districts other than Dallas ISD.

Ask whether the home is in a historic or conservation district, which is common in Lakewood and North Oak Cliff and regulates exterior changes. Get an insurance quote early, with the roof age and the wind and hail deductible in hand. Finally, budget taxes on your purchase price and ask whether a public improvement district, such as Uptown's, adds an assessment.

Where can I look at pool homes and fixer-uppers in Dallas?

Dallas has dedicated pages for houses with a pool in Dallas and fixer-upper homes in Dallas. Before you set a budget, read property taxes in Dallas and the cost of living in Dallas, then check what you can afford with the mortgage calculator.
