If you are concerned about prices in Southlake, you won't want to pay for Highland or University Park homes either. 

I'm not concerned about the prices, just that there are very few homes that I like or that are big enough in my price range.  Anything in the size I need in HP would be way over a million easily.  I ain't got that!


 


I thought McKinney sounded nice, too.  Lots of new construction.  I'm not sure why he thinks of it as the boonies.  I'd consider most of MA (where we live) very boonie and in the middle of basically nothing.  I think he's mostly concerned about the schools since the schools here are so highly rated and the ones in TX weren't.  But I turned out just fine, and I DID grow up in podunk nowhere!

oh I thought I would add too, my cousin and her husband just moved here last year from Boston, MA (actually Somerville) because her husband was offered a professorship in Denton at UNT....even though Denton is a huge commute, they picked Dallas's Lakewood neighborhood to purchase a home because they just didn't like the cookie cutter look of the suburbs.  I think there are pros and cons of suburbs vs. city, but after living in the Boston area for so long, they didn't want to live in a McMansion.  So if you guys are used to the charm of older homes and established neighborhoods with huge trees, that will be hard to find in any of the burbs....but Southlake is probably the prettiest of all the surrounding communities right now.

I don't like cookie cutter much, but I'm also not really into that "old" charm, either.  I like new but also established.  Like our house is fairly new (10 years) so the neighborhood has mature trees.  Plus every house is completely different.  I don't do that whole New England thing.  Cute, but not for me.  Give me huge w/ high ceilings and modern amenities!
