RELOCATING TO TEXAS?

Dallas, like most metropolitan cities is comprised of mostly established homes. Neighborhoods are being rebuilt in the heart of Dallas in Highland Park and University Park. Many transferees actually relocate to our suburbs where housing is affordable, larger and newer. These popular suburbs include but are not limited to...Plano, Frisco, Allen, Richardson, McKinney, Addison and Grand Parairie.

INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

Texas real estate rates are appreciating as the statewide economy expands. Dallas and Houston have shown particular promise as emerging investment hot spots. The fastest growing city of the 20th century, Houston boasts an expanding job market and a growth in personal income that can provide residents with the means to invest in local real estate. Dallas boasts steady growth coupled with an impressive and augmenting local art district that is the largest in the nation. Dallas's population has increased almost 20% since 1990, indicating an interest in the area that will continue to grow.

With all the opportunities offered in the area (including 26 colleges and universities), people are responding by buying homes in the Dallas area. From 1990 to 2000 the population increased by over 18%. And average property values within city limits are significantly higher than those in the rest of the state. Also adding to the attractiveness of Dallas living is the recent property tax cut. For the first time in eight years, the city has lowered the property tax rate, cutting it significantly by 1.25 cents. A moderately priced area, Dallas citizens also benefit from the state and local policy of no income tax
