Dallas’ Bird Streets: an opportunity to invest
Tweet tweet! The Bird Streets are calling Dallas investors.
What: This pocket of Dallas – where 8 of the 11 streets are named for birds – includes 80′ by 150′ lots with affordable 1940’s and 50’s ranch-style homes. Click to view photos of facades and interiors.
Where: Nestled northwest of Inwood and Mockingbird, the charming little neighborhood is adjacent to Greenway Parks and just down the street from University Park. Inwood Village’s attractions (Landmark movie theatre, Cantina Laredo, Breadwinner’s, Starbucks, etc.) are all within walking distance. Necessities are also easily accessible – CVS, Simon David supermarket, and Love Field airport are right around the corner.
Why: Some predict this area is developing into the new Devonshire, and Candy Evans of D Magazine sure seems to be a believer. Local realtor Terry Cook comments, “It’s an undiscovered jewel, with a convenient location, affordable homes, and great neighbors.” And realtor Meredith McKee loves the neighborhood so much that she’s lived there for the past six years. She shares the insider scoop:
- The Shannon Estates Neighborhood Association (SENA) has a very active participation and a zero-tolerance crime policy. The Bird Streets’ crime statistics are some of the lowest in Dallas.
- A $12M state-of-the-art Tom Thumb grocery will soon replace Simon David. (The tear-down begins this June.)
- The neighborhood has approximately 285 brick and stone cottages — most are perfect for thoughtful restorations and updates, not tear-downs. These affordable one-owner homes are a great blank canvas for young buyers.
