Are you a growing family thinking about moving up into a bigger, better home in North Dallas? Whether you're looking for 4+ bedroom homes in Dallas, TX, a home with a study for remote work, or just more room for your two big dogs to run around in the backyard, this post is for you.
One of the biggest decisions you'll make when searching for move-up homes in Dallas, TX, is how your daily commute fits into your lifestyle.
As a Dallas real estate agent and lifelong local (hi, it’s Anita K!), I work with families every day who are moving from their current home into their dream home. One of the top things we plan for? The drive to work, school, and life in general.
Here’s how to think through your commute when shopping for a new home in North Dallas suburbs like Preston Hollow, Midway Hollow, Northwood Hills, and beyond.
Why Commute Planning Matters When Buying a Bigger Home
When you're investing in a larger home in Preston Hollow or other parts of North Dallas, you’re not just buying more square footage—you’re buying a lifestyle. And a huge part of that lifestyle is how long it takes you to get where you need to go.
I always ask my buyers:
- Does one of you work from home?
- Does the other commute to downtown Dallas, Addison, Plano, or Frisco?
- Do you want to be close to private schools?
- What time are you usually on the road?
The answers help us find the right central Dallas homes for sale that give you space, convenience, and comfort.
