How DFW’s Growth Sparked a New Kind of Community

It’s no secret—everyone wants to be part of the DFW story. Over the past decade, more than 1.2 million new neighbors have joined the metro area, growing the community by 20%. And with DFW expected to reach 8.5 million residents by 2028, this incredible momentum promises both prosperity and some challenges for housing.

This growth is transforming the region, bringing exciting opportunities, new businesses, and new places to live and explore. But it’s also prompting families to rethink what home really means: more time for what matters, more connection to nature, and a lifestyle that feels meaningful and fulfilling.

What Rapid Growth Means for Housing

The median home price in Dallas now sits at around $396,300, and only 28.1% of homes are considered affordable for median-income households. For many buyers, that means homeownership feels out of reach.

As affordability tightens and the city becomes more congested, more families are setting their sights on communities that offer more green space, more value, and more peace of mind.
