Do "flats" exist in Dallas? (McKinney, Henderson: hardwood floors, apartments)

[mandom]

as the title says. anything like the side-by-side residences of, say, san francisco or the brownstones of the east coast?

do you mean townhouses?

Not like that era. The small-scale prewar multifamily housing in Dallas is exclusively side-by-side duplexes and standalone two-story masonry construction.

In North Oak Lawn there are duplex homes with residences on 1st or 2nd floor. These are older, nice construction usually with hardwood floors, original windows but upgraded facilities and with AC. They tend to be pricey but that comes with demand.

There are also apartments of the same construction genre, usually a central hallway, two units on each side (four units on 1st, four units on 2nd floors). Some are nicely upgraded and rents tend to be more affordable.

The North Oak Lawn area is bounded by Lemmon on the south, Oak Lawn (becomes Preston) on the east and Highland Park on the north and west. The three principle streets of this construction are Hawthorne, Herschel and Prescott.

There are other areas that may have similar construction but this is the area I know about. You might find something like a northern/eastern brownstone in a north of Swiss area but not an area I'd want to live in.

do you mean duplexes, townhomes or perhaps condos??
Flats (as the term is used in Europe) usually describes condominiums here.

YES, there ARE INDEED "flats" in the Dallas area. There are plenty of them in these areas:
McKinney Ave
State-Thomas
Uptown
Knox-Henderson

Most of them are new or fairly new (10 years or newer). You won't find "flats" out in the burbs but there are starting to be more "urban living" type arrangements in some areas.
