Las Colinas is pricey unless you are looking for condos. Also Irving ISD is not so good.

I'm in southlake and love it. Close to the airport, great schools, quiet and has decent shops and restaurants. It's a bit far from the city though.

The mall where there's an apple store is amazing. Like a mini escape into a different town.

My cousins bought new constructions in Allen and Frisco but these are so far from the office

If you're looking at suburbs, the closer you are to plano the better I'm betting with all the influx of large companies relocating and legacy west going up

Yeah I'd say Frisco, Irving, Carrolton, and South Lake

Murphy !!!

Thanks all .. Would you say $130 - $140 / sft in Irving / frisco for a new construction is rightly priced ..?

I live in Frisco now and love it. Absolutely love it

Pwc3 which part of frisco ? West ?

Irving is pricier than Frisco. You want to be in Coppell school districts. Plano West ditto. Plano east is the dumps. Carrollton is ok.

West on Lebanon. Say no Irving.

What about las colinas?

Want great not good ISDs from kindergarten thru HS and good/great neighborhoods <$550k .... It's Frisco

Pwc3 is right but I'd add McKinney to the list. Still affordable.

Hi all, I recently purchased a commercial property at WTC, Noida. As I look to grow my portfolio, I spoke to my consultant to see if I could get better prices. He worked with the sales folks at WTC and said that if multiple buyers come in, he could work out a deal. Wanted to check if anyone is interested? I could potentially get him to set up one-on-ones to help explain the commercial real estate market. Even if this property doesn’t seem interesting, I think an interaction wouldn’t hurt.. contd

I figure if anyone can understand this, it’s you all. I feel like I’m losing my damn mind. I have always loved communications, and I’m really good at it. But lately I’m so tired of politics and toxicity that I it’s sent me into a depression tailspin, on top of a pretty severe mid-life crisis. Two and a half weeks ago, I quit my job with nothing lined up. Not the smartest thing I’ve ever done, but I kind of feel like self-preservation was at work here. I want to do work that makes a difference. ☹️
