Have you noticed we have a bit of a building boom going on? I haven't seen this amount of construction since the 1980s. It's very exciting, and there may not be anything more exciting than watching what's going on with Centre Living Homes. I live in East Dallas, so I've had my eye on their Caddo + Munger development for a few months now, and I'm excited to present this fabulous project as our Inwood Home of the Week feature.

Green Brick provides expertise and capital to build neighborhoods with timeless, classic architecture interwoven with the latest technological advancements, and in turn provides a superior long-term return for its investors, residents, and cities it builds in.
In other words, the dinner table discussions growing up in Brickman's home were more likely centered on cost-effective building than what was on TV that week! I have always maintained regardless of the preferred topic you learn a lot through osmosis at the family dinner table. Brickman proves my theory is correct, as his career path was clear. He went straight into construction management and real estate finance. He loves the business.
Centre Living Homes' Caddo + Munger development is on the corner of its namesake streets. It's a wonderful, walkable, urban community sandwiched between Belmont Park and Bryan Place on the east side of North Central Expressway, with access to all the food and shopping in Uptown, Deep Ellum, and East Village. You might think its appeal is to the young, 30-something professional, and you'd be half right.
"We see what is called the barbell buyer base," Brickman said. That's the obvious 30-something professional, but the other half of the buyers are the folks downsizing from the suburbs who are tired of maintaining the large house once the kids are grown and flown.
Several things make Centre Living's Caddo + Munger development special. The architecture was inspired by the historic Munger Baptist Church next door. It was built with the dark red brick you see on so many historic buildings in Dallas.
Brickman is also able to deliver a quality product at great prices. Hold on to your hats because pricing at Centre Living's Caddo + Munger development starts at $395,000. Remember, that's for all-brick construction with panoramic views of Dallas from the rooftop decks! While the exterior of this Centre Living project is all old-school brick, the interior is decidedly new school with white oak floors and modern finish-out.
As I mentioned, there is a building boom in Dallas, but a lot of what is being built is high end. So how does Brickman come out with 100 percent brick townhomes that have gorgeous finish-out and are centrally located, starting at $395,000?
It goes back to growing up in the business.
Trevor, we think you are absolutely right!
If you want to see one of the remaining townhomes give Kenley LeBlanc a call because at this price, and in this location, they may all be gone by the time we post!
