If you’re looking for that urban life but with newer construction, here’s your condo.
This corner unit at The Beat at South Side Station is close to all the usual suspects – Gilley’s, Alamo Drafthouse, Four Corners Brewery, Full City Rooster, Lee Harvey’s, the DART Line, Downtown Dallas, and more.
It was built in 2007 so it’s like Southside on Lamar’s new best friend. I would assume, right? Like OBVIOUSLY buildings have BFFs.
Anyway, not only are the photos on this particular listing spectacular, but the views are, too. Briggs Freeman’s JB Hayes says that due to this end unit’s location, every room has a view. The primary suite has floor-to-ceiling windows and overlooks the Trinity River. Hayes also adds the sunsets are breathtaking.
It’s got those loft vibes, too, with concrete floors, exposed ductwork, and one big, open space. But what about the building? Well, it’s dog friendly and there’s a dog park next door to support that cause, there’s a SALTWATER pool and hot tub, and an outdoor entertaining area for residents only.
Let’s dig a little deeper into this area. It’s The Cedars and here’s a real quick history lesson of how it came to be.
Noted Notables: Stanley Marcus of Neiman Marcus was born in The Cedars. “STANLEY WAS BORN IN A LOFT?” Not quite.
Back in the 1870s, The Cedars popped up as a neighborhood of moderately priced homes. Then in the late 19th century, it went from middle class to upper class and was lined with “stately Victorians” from the community’s well-to-do families.
Then, because Dallas is always going to be Dallas-ing, by the late 1920s all the Victorians were gone. The well-to-do families moved farther north and industrial users such as, you guessed it, Sears-Roebuck (now Southside on Lamar — CALLBACK!) moved in.
It’s rumored that only a handful of the original fancy homes remain – and none of them are in great shape. Bummer for sure, but the recent rise of townhomes and renovated warehouses is bringing The Cedars back. And what pushed out residents in the first place (an increase in population) is the same thing that’s bringing them back.
HISTORY! I’ve heard it repeats itself.
Hayes has 1001 Belleview Street, Unit 604 listed for $362,500.
