The Dallas Condo Loft

A recent report by the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University noted that overall home prices in the Dallas-Fort Worth area have been reset to 1990s levels (when adjusted for inflation). Additionally, the latest Standard & Poor/Case-Shiller index showed that Dallas-Fort Worth’s home prices aren’t showing signs of a rebound anytime soon. In fact, as of April 2009, home prices are down five percent in the Metroplex compared to April of last year.

It may be a long summer for some, but not if you’re one of the lucky few in the market to buy a Dallas condo or loft. Bargains are out there!

Boots: Cowboy Cool, West Village

Dallas is known for its generosity and for having a heart the size of, well, Texas.  This town personifies cowboy cool with the Cattle Baron’s Ball and TV images of J.R. Ewing and Southfork.  No, the women aren’t all blonde and we don’t all drive around in huge white cadillacs with Texas Longhorns on the front (not that there’s anything wrong with that), but we’re all about show and style–something we’re proud of and stereotyped for occasionally. We’re “fixin’” to do something and we’ll “reckon” we might do something else.

Really, isn’t that part of our charm?

Speaking of charm, nothing is quintessentially Dallas than bigger and better, and CondoDomain Dallas can deliver with our selection of luxury Dallas condos.

Following are some of our Dallas Turtle Creek condos over $500,000:

The Vendome:

One of the most “prestigious digits in Dallas,” the Vendome in Dallas is a luxury Dallas highrise that’s a study in class and style.  Uniformed valet attendants, a private library, and furnished guest suites give the Dallas Turtle Creek condo owner an itinerary in French-inspired design. A state-of-the-art fitness center, a pet-friendly environment, hardwood floors, and stainless steel appliances (as well as the expected luxury amenities) reside here.

Listings:

The Plaza Turtle Creek

This luxury highrise is managed by the Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek, one of the first of its kind in Dallas. Marketed as a “Concierge Lifestyle,” The Plaza Turtle Creek knows service. For example, if dining at the Mansion’s restaurant next door, you’ll be greeted by your name–a personal touch missing so often these days. The amenities included in this highrise are a beautiful conservatory, wine cellar, library, fitness center, and a meticulously landscaped pool area.  You must see to believe!

I don’t speak Park Cities.  I’m just a West Texas girl and a little rough around the edges.  But if I wanted to take a CliffsNotes® tour of the fascinating people in these exclusive Dallas neighborhoods, I’d buy a lovely condominium at The Shelton in Dallas.  

Set in the heart of Dallas, The Shelton offers a genteel elegance with specific luxuries that the connoisseur of good taste wants. Next to the Dallas Tollway (for easy commuting), this luxury condominium residence has a dedicated pet area, private balconies with panoramic views, and three high-speed elevators—amenities that only touch the surface of what these magnificent Dallas condos offer.

Upscale Amenities

Floor plans are from 1,100 to 3,000 square feet, and each resident of these upscale Dallas condos can choose from personalized options such as Jenn-Air, Bosch, and Sub-Zero appliances, hardwood floors, separate jacuzzi tubs and walk-in showers, and imported marble, granite, and travertine countertops, bathrooms and floors. A full-time concierge, full-service valet, 24/7 controlled access and security, and secured garage parking can also be checked off your list.

The 7th Floor Oasis

An unique combination of relaxation, The Shelton’s 7th Floor Oasis includes a heated pool (with cabanas and city views), a hot tub, an outdoor kitchen, a 24/7 fitness center and…a putting green. Who knew you could practice your golf swing simply by taking the elevator?

Call us! We’d love to give you a tour of these upscale Dallas condos and others in the area.
