Is Preston Hollow a good area to live in? While there are multimillion dollar homes, some homes are 300-500k in the area. Would you buy in this area vs Richardson/Addison/Carrollton? Assuming private school route...just moved to Dallas so not familiar with the areas...

We live in west Richardson and it is an easy commute to our oldest kids school in Addison. The houses in Canyon Creek, Prairie Creek, Richardson Heights and the Reservation/JJ Pearce area are still in great neighborhoods and the Richardson city services are much better than Dallas.

I used to live just east of there (condo between Preston Hollow and 75). It’s a nice area, though as with any area closer to downtown traffic is high. You pay more per sq ft of course, with generally smaller lot sizes. I moved (to a house, was tired of HOA dealings) to Far North Dallas and love it. Less traffic (comparatively), bigger lots, still close enough that getting to the arts downtown is pretty easy.

That’s more like midway hollow, it’s a very different area from Preston Hollow. You also really don’t want anything on the left side of Marsh if you’re looking in that area. Addison might actually be a better place to

I just moved to DFW as well. I personally like Plano and Frisco.

If you’re sending your kids to one of the northern Dallas private schools (Greenhill, Jesuit, St Marks/Hockaday, ESD, etc), then yes live in Preston hollow

Cannot afford both private school and living in actual Preston Hollow lol...around Preston Hollow might be doable

Check out Prosper

Yes, yes, yes. Although a 300-500k home there is probably a tear down in that there is something seriously wrong with it

Lived here all my life in areas of Dallas South of LBJ. Mainly Preston Hollow. I thought the best area all around was Midway Hollow. So convenient to Toll Road and not congested like the Park Cities. It’s lower priced than P.H., nice lots and in the middle of private school heaven. Of course, the prices went up in the last 2 years since I lived there I agree not to go West of Mzrdh

Hi Fishes,
Had a very serious query. In my current organization I was not under taxable bracket by any means so I didn't submit any investment declarations or anything. But I'll start a new job in 2 weeks where I'll be under taxable bracket. So will I get a chance to submit my investment declarations in the new company for tds calculations in the middle of the year ? I'm new to everything so would appreciate your help. TIA :)
