Lake|Flato’s Wellness-Focused Haciendas in Dallas Start at $589K

The new residential development offers first-time homebuyers, empty nesters, and down-sizers the perks of living in the city—but room to breathe.

The homes consist of pure, boxy volumes that are topped with hipped or gabled roofs.

As urban dwellers will attest, one of the biggest drawbacks to city living is the lack of private outdoor space.

It’s a shortcoming that prompts many to pack up and head for the suburbs—a migration pattern that could be intensifying in the coronavirus era, as fresh air and space to stretch out become more precious than ever. These days, there’s no shortage of stories about urbanites fleeing for greener pastures.

For those craving suburban amenities, but who aren’t quite ready to give up their urban lifestyle, a new single-family housing development in Dallas could serve as a good example of how to get the best of both worlds.

"This is unlike anything that’s ever been done in the city," says Brent Jackson, who heads the real estate firm behind the project, Oaxaca Interests.

Called Haciendas, the speculative development is located in West Dallas—a long-neglected area that has undergone significant investment in recent years, leading to an influx of new residents and a budding cultural scene.

The project is being constructed on a patchwork of vacant parcels near Interstate 30, in an area dotted with modest, older dwellings. The site is just two miles from the center of downtown.
