The honest part
What to know first
- Voters withdrew from DART in 1989, and the Silver Line crosses the city without a station.
- Walk Score rates the 75019 ZIP code 29, so most errands take a car.
Not its strength: walkable, transit options, quiet, small-town pace, restaurants, shopping, lake days, luxury homes.
Not rated yet: nightlife, land and acreage, horses welcome, new construction. That means I haven't confirmed it either way, not that it isn't here.
