About halfway between Dallas and Fort Worth, Grand Prairie is one of the Metroplex’s most stimulating suburbs. With attractions like Lone Star Park and Texas Trust CU Theatre, this town plays host to a ton of events, concerts, live races, and more. And with its Asia Time Square and renowned Farmers Market, this city also offers an array of cultural and culinary experiences.
Families here benefit from both its burgeoning amenities and beautiful landscape. The homes in Grand Prairie exist among quaint communities and quiet cul-de-sacs where close-knit atmospheres are the norm. For this edition of Suburb Sunday, I’m excited to show a few examples of why this area is an excellent family destination. Let’s have a look.
A Spacious Grand Prairie Gem in a Great Location
6907 Navigation Drive
- 4 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms
- 3,034 Square Feet
- $500,000
This first home we’re excited to feature not only boasts a big floorplan but also a beautiful location.
“This home has a lot of square footage and a really smart floor plan, “said listing agent Derrick Jacobs with Keller Williams Realty. “It’s a four-bedroom with potential for a fifth and has so much room for gathering, entertaining or whatever you care to make of the ample space. It’s perfect for those that need a little extra room to stretch out.”
Located just off the banks of Joe Pool Lake, this home offers a great amount of outdoor appeal as well.
“It’s right by the lake and walking distance to the beautiful Estes Park,” said Jacobs. “There’s so much to do in this area. Also, the neighborhood is absolutely excellent. Homes rarely come on the market here, and when they do, they’re gone almost instantly.”

An Eco-Smart Home With a Gorgeous Interior
1607 Pebble Beach Lane
- 4 Bedrooms, 6 Bathrooms
- 4,532 Square Feet
- $989,500
This week has proven why Texas is notorious for its summers. As temperatures continue to climb, more homeowners are looking for ways to stay cool and save energy. This next home demonstrates how the next generation of savvy builders is meeting those expectations.
“What I love about this property is its unique full-home foam encapsulation,” said listing agent Veronica Hernandez with Mersal Realty. “The entire home has been enveloped in state-of-the-art insulation foam. This is a very rare insulation type that you hardly ever see, but it’s incredibly effective. Also, the home has an April air system that rapidly cycles air for the absolute cleanest environment.”
Of course, the home has an incredibly sophisticated design to complement its eco-smart extras.
“Both the kitchen and primary bathroom are gorgeous,” said Hernandez. “These two areas are so important to home buyers, and here they tell you so much about the quality and craftsmanship of this home.”
