This week we take you to the Casa Linda Estates and Little Forest Hills area, where a modern new build and traditional cottage are the highlights of our Splurge vs. Steal. There are lots of details to love in both, but their price points and styles are miles apart. Which one catches your eye, the Little Forest Hills Splurge or the Casa Linda Estates Steal?
Splurge: Little Forest Hills New Build On Large Corner Lot For $619K 
Light and bright, and everything right! This new build shines with designer touches, a sleek gourmet kitchen, and ample spaces to entertain. The three-bedroom, three-full-and-one-half-bathroom home affords 1,751 square feet and sits on a large 0.29-acre lot. What makes it really stand out is the attention to detail. Large windows, spa-like baths, a huge fenced backyard. Here you’ll have no shortage of spaces to chill and grill or unwind with a glass of wine. Effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining throughout! Another bonus? It’s wired with an electric car connection. Plus, you can bike to White Rock Lake or pop into nearby Casa Linda Plaza for a bite. Hip, trendy, and chock full of upgrades. What more could you want?

The charming three-bedroom, three-full-and-one-half-bathroom home sits on a large, 0.35-acre lot, made for nature lovers! A huge deck and stone pathway adds curb appeal the front. Towering trees and mature green space are perfect for a green thumb. Inside your cozy cottage awaits!
