I live a few miles west of Southlake and I agree that we did not get hit as hard in the economic downturn as much of the rest of the country. One other thing of note is a $500K house in D/FW is a multi-million dollar house in many other states. I have a friend that lives in a gated community in Southlake in a 9000 sq ft behemoth of a house that is only $750k. The home across the street went up for sale and the only people that looked at it played for the Mavericks and Rangers. [/quote]
when my brother first moved into his house, (spring '97) a lot of what is now southlake, was just getting started.
I can't believe how much sprawl has happened since then.
on a semi related note, on my way into town last year, I was driving Southlake Blvd, from Grapevine, to Davis, and was alongside for a while to this awesome old Mopar, i think it was a Coronet R/T, Blue, with white top, been wondering ever since if it wasn't possibly 440Magnum ( i was at the tail end of an 1100mi 23 hr drive to my brother's house, trying not to pee my pants before i got there, some details are a little foggy.
