Building a New Custom Home - in the Park Cities
Has it been your dream to build your own luxury home in the Park Cities?
The Park Cities with all its luxurious amenities is a smaller niche in comparison to other areas in Dallas, Texas. With only 6 square miles, there is a limited supply of land and real estate. It's important to find a local builder who has built in the Park Cities for many years, and who has established relationships with Park Cities realtors, Park Cities residents, and the City. In addition, longevity is beneficial because a custom builder needs to know the neighborhood well as well as the lot sizes and configurations in the Park Cities. It’s also a big plus if they’ve worked with the Park Cities municipalities before, knowing the CC&R’s, so they can give you a realistic timetable on the building timeline and the City approval process.
Choosing the Perfect Homesite for Your “Dream Home” in the Park Cities
A Park Cities custom home builder can assist you in finding the perfect place to build your new residence. They may find an empty lot or a parcel of land with a teardown home. It's best to have your home builder involved in the process, to confirm the floorplan and design of your “Dream Home'' will fit perfectly on the lot you purchase. Sometimes, builders will have a few lots available in their inventory. However, because of the expensive real estate in University Park and Highland Park, it usually involves working with your Park Cities custom builder (and possibly a realtor) to find the perfect location to build the “Home of your Dreams''!
Remodeling Your Home - in the Park Cities
If you’re already a resident living in the Park Cities in Dallas, Texas, and feel like your current home doesn't meet all of your needs, remodeling your home could be an option to transform your existing home into the home of your dreams!
It's important to make a list of your homes’ improvements that would make your life easier and enhance your lifestyle - plus overall making life better and more enjoyable for you and your family.
Renovating - Investing in Your Park Cities Home
It's smart to consider which home improvements and remodeling upgrades will bring the greatest long-term value to your existing Park Cities home - especially if you plan on selling it in the future. Typically, updating kitchens, master bathroom suites, and adding square footage have been some of the most valuable home improvements. For some residents, it's all about enhancing their lives now - while others will want to look at which remodeling updates will bring the greatest return on investment.
