The tight-knit Glencoe Park neighborhood offers well-priced homes surrounding its namesake park. And the area’s proximity to Mockingbird Lane and North Central Expressway doesn’t hurt either. The park itself offers basketball and tennis courts, plus softball, and fantastic trails, making it great for families who want easy access to outdoor fun.

So this week put the spotlight on two Glencoe Park offerings. Each offers unique perks and open, airy floor plans but have price points that are miles apart. Which would you choose, the Splurge closer to the park or the Steal closer to Mockingbird Station?

Splurge: Newer Construction Beauty Just Steps From The Park For $675K

Our splurge is a newer construction home just steps from Glencoe Park and it’s a beauty! Built by Cambridge Homes, according to the listing, is chock full of energy-efficient features including 16 SEER HVAC with programmable thermostats, radiant barrier roof decking, Rinnai tankless water heater, and low-E dual pane windows. We love the large open floor plan spanning 2,573 square feet. Within you’ll find three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a fabulous gourmet kitchen with Dacor appliances, quartz counters, and a spacious pantry. There is also a light-filled study and oversized master suite with elegant bath. Outdoors, enjoy a low-maintenance green space for grilling out. Additionally, a top selling point is that the property feeds to Mockingbird Elementary and sits near Katy Trail, Lower Greenville, and Mockingbird Station.

Steal: Transitional Gem Within Walking Distance To Mockingbird Station For $559K

This transitional steal has timeless appeal! From the minute you step inside the four-bedroom, two-full-and-one-half-bathroom home you’ll notice designer touches throughout. Among these are walls of windows, hand-scraped hardwoods, crown moldings, and a beautiful cast stone fireplace met by 10-foot ceilings. But what really makes this steal shine is the fact it has an easy, breezy open floorplan. You’ll love the large covered patio and lush lawn for entertaining. And back inside, a generous gourmet kitchen anchors the home with custom cabinets and a walk-in pantry. Oversized guest rooms, a luxurious master suite, and attached two-car-garage round out this exceptional offering. Even better, you can walk to Mockingbird Station for a night out on the town for boutique shopping, dining, movies, and more!
