If you take DART’s Green Line due north, you will eventually discover Downtown Carrollton. This beautiful bedroom community has long been known as a top destination for Dallasites seeking suburban surroundings. Situated in three counties, Collin, Denton, and Dallas, this city offers a pristine quality of life, abundant parks, good schools, and outstanding neighborhoods. Also, the location and cost advantages of the central DFW city have made it a haven for over 15,000 businesses.
For this week’s edition of Suburb Sunday, I’m stoked to highlight some of the incredible homes that exist here as well. Let’s peek at three properties that would make the perfect pads for anyone looking to cozy up to Carrollton.
A Carrollton Home With a Convenient Location
1426 Northridge Drive
- 4 Bedrooms, 3 bathrooms
- $495,000
- 2,400 square feet
Our first stop this week is a cozy four-bedroom with a coveted location. There’s so much to love about this home, from its updated interior to its beautiful outdoor pool.
“The home is about fifty years old,” says listing agent Kristi Sheffy of United Real Estate. “It’s fully updated and has great bones. The neighborhood is incredibly peaceful and sits right near both US-75 and the George Bush Turnpike. Therefore, it’s easy to get anywhere in the Metroplex both north and south or east and west.”
One thing I really love about this home is the front flex space which makes a perfect office. It’s enclosed with French doors so it offers both privacy and an open feel to the rest of the house.

A Great Home for Growing Families
4625 Man O War Road
- 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms
- 4,120 square feet

More than 4,000 square feet for under one million dollars is almost unheard of in some parts of Dallas. However, in Carrollton, this isn’t the case. The enormous layout of 4625 Man O War Road makes a great residence for growing families and those who love entertaining.
“The family room and kitchen in this home are huge,” says listing agent Carol Thompson of Carol Thompson Realty Group. “There’s a great flow between them that just make this home the perfect place for large gatherings. With an upstairs entertainment room and game room, families will fall in love with this place.”
Of course, the neighborhood is also suited for family fun.
“There are incredible community amenities as well,” says Carol. “Residents enjoy their own clubhouse, resort-style pool, playground, and more. Also, the location is right by Grandscape and Legacy West so shopping and dining are just within reach.”

A Cul-De-Sac Location Close to Nature

- 9 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms
- 5,271 square feet
- $695,000
Last but not least, this home at 1513 Van Winkle Drive offers an unparalleled way to experience the nature that Carrollton has to offer. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac off of Hebron Parkway, this home is right next to the city’s incredible walking trails and is just a stone’s throw from Castle Hills, Arbor Hills Nature Preserve, and Primrose Park.
“Moore Farms is a great little pocket neighborhood,” said listing agent Cathie Skinner of Ebby Halliday Realtors. “It’s a quiet, close-knit community and right by so many excellent natural attractions.”
As for the home itself, there’s a lot to love.
“Right now, the home features nine bedrooms, which is perfect for those with large families or multi-generational households,” said Cathie. “However, there is a ton of potential to open this home up and make even more of the ample space.”
