Living in Richardson, Texas
Just north of Dallas, between Dallas and Collin counties.
Living in Richardson
Richardson borders Dallas on the north, and that closeness is a big part of its story. It's one of the cities where the most people buy with the commute to work in mind, not just the house.
This is home to the Telecom Corridor, the stretch of technology and telecommunications companies where businesses like Verizon and AT&T have operations, along with healthcare and insurance. For a lot of people who buy in Richardson, work is ten minutes away.
The Richardson, Texas neighborhoods run from homes built in the 1950s to mixed-use developments finished recently, and the city is split between Dallas and Collin counties.
How I work Richardson
I'm Veronica Yeary, REALTOR® with All City Real Estate DFW. I've worked the whole Dallas-Fort Worth area since 2010, with more than 450 families in that time.
I cover the whole Richardson area, from the homes with big trees near downtown to the new construction at CityLine, and every type of property.
If you're selling, your home gets professional photography, video or drone depending on the property, and its own website, paid ads on Facebook and Instagram, postcards to the homes around it and an open house, plus a report every week on what the people who came to see it said.
If you're buying, we start with the preapproval. In Richardson it also pays to decide early how close to the train you want to be, because that changes the search a lot.
I explain the process and the documents you're going to sign, clearly.
The parts of Richardson
CityLine is the newest and most walkable: mixed use, with apartments, townhomes and houses, and the train, restaurants and a grocery store within walking distance.
Heights Park is old Richardson, near downtown. Homes with character, many of them remodeled, and the closest thing the city has to a historic core. The park it's named after covers about 33 acres.
Around the Telecom Corridor is a good part of what was built between those two eras.
Depending on what you need: buying a home in Richardson, selling your home in Richardson, your first home in Richardson, moving up in Richardson, something smaller in Richardson or what your Richardson home is worth.
What kind of home you'll find
There's a bit of everything here, with quite a spread in age. Single-story homes from the 1950s and 1960s with mature trees, remodeled homes near downtown, and townhomes and recent construction at CityLine.
Richardson is one of the cities where the most people buy an older home to fix up. That can work out very well, and it pays to know from the inspection what you're going to find behind the walls.
For your home's number, with real comparables from your street: what your home is worth.
