My 3000sq ft home in the Lewisville area is approximately $500K market, bought 10 years ago at $220k. The home is about 20 years old and reflective of neighbor homes in terms of style and condition. For new builds you’ll need to look further out of the main Dallaa area, closer to Prosper but they are really nice if you are ok with being a little furthet

Good luck 🦄

Plano is reasonable again and a straight shot to DFW. You also happen to have numerous childrens hospitals in the DFW metropolex, Plano has a large childrens hospital campus. The building is big, it’s not just for large children. Most of the schools are highly rated too. Lewisville ISD had amazing elementary/middle. I can’t comment on high school until my kids are old enough.

It’s not Dallas, but Keller fits this. The 35W and 170 area. It’s got a lot of cooks children care around, it’s near DFW without being right next to it. It has easy highway access to Dallas and Fort Worth. The schools are excellent and the houses are cheaper than most of the Dallas suburbs.

In a condo?

Northwood Hills! Homes are ~1M to 1.5M. Big yards, 24/7 security, no mandatory HOA with Richardson schools. Close to 635 and 75. There’s a pretty large contingency of consultants with families in the neighborhood so you never need to go far for a drinking buddy.
