Oak Lawn Heights
If you’re looking for something closer to downtown, you’re going to have to compromise on size. This Tudor home in the Oak Lawn area has plenty of space for outdoor entertaining (a deck in the back and a covered side porch) plus a recently remodeled kitchen and an unattached garage. The gate to the backyard is solar powered and the room was redone this year.

Briarwood
Buffview provides even less space for a budget of $300,000. This quaint cottage has great bones but is in need of updates when it comes to the kitchen finish out and appliances and the bathrooms. The rooms are bright and the location can’t be beat—you’re located near the Park Cities and have easy access to downtown.
