Areas Between Richardson and Carrollton

[fratermus]

There's a sizable green belt (like, 200yds wide in places) running through Carrollton north of, uhhh, Frankford? Don't remember. But some of it even has walking paths.

Thanks Loves2read, you are right. However sadly our SoCal experience has warped us I think. Since we are coming from San Diego I'm sure anything nice under 400k will look like a deal to us. We would like to rent first but if we decide to purchase we are pretty sure we would qualify for up to 400k, not that we would want to spend that much, I'm hoping to spend under 300k next time we buy. We have recently been looking at homes in San Diego in the 350-400k range and it's so depressing, everything we have seen is a dumpy old town-home or 50's fixer cracker box house next to a freeway.

In that price range look in the areas of Richardson & North Dallas mentioned. Canyon Creek is beautiful. Also look in Coppell.

SKIP Carrollton all together in that price range.

The homes in that area are in the low to mid-100's and there are several apartment complexes around it that are on the very low end. Most of them are early 70's Fox & Jacobs and then a few semi-custom smallish homes built in the early 80's.
