Welcome to Dallas!
The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently reported that North Texas continues to post year-over-year gains in employment and, as a result, more businesses are calling it home. Our favorable economic environment, gracious neighborhoods and vibrant city centers are making North Texas a natural destination for businesses looking to grow.
I know, first hand, how much there is to do when relocating your home, your family, your life. My wife, Nancy, and I experienced the same challenges a few years ago when we moved our family to China for three years. After a lifetime in the Park Cities, suddenly we were faced with the same questions as you.
Which neighborhood best serves our needs?
Which schools are best for our kids?
Where do we find a doctor, a great pizza, a dry cleaner?
I can assure you that North Texas is one of the friendliest and easiest places you’ll ever live. We’re here to help you get connected with neighborhoods, homes, schools, activities, restaurants, and we’ll even help you find a great dry cleaner.
Again, welcome. Please contact me if I can be of assistance in any way.
Sincerely,
SouthlakeColleyville

Although they share topography that includes rolling hills, winding streets and large green spaces, these three neighborhoods have distinct personalities that make them highly sought-after places for residents at every phase of life. Dog-walking groups, running clubs and kids playing ball are common sights here. The area is convenient to major travel arteries and is within biking distance of Inwood Village, where friends meet for fine dining, a movie and some of the best shopping in Dallas.
I’d call them the perfect urban neighborhoods. Homeowners pride themselves on preserving the look and lifestyle of the communities,” a long-time resident
