Seven Townhomes at Lovedale Highlands

In the spring of 2025 I represented the seller of seven new townhomes in Lovedale Highlands, Phase II, in Northwest Dallas near Love Field. All seven closed between April 18 and May 16, 2025, about four weeks from the first closing to the last. I worked the sales with Nicole Vilchis at Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

It’s a small deal next to a tower on Turtle Creek. It’s also the part of my record that taught me the most about new construction, because I sat on the builder’s side of the table.

What sold at Lovedale Highlands?

Seven townhomes built in 2025, each on the same plan:

• Plan: three bedrooms, two full baths and a half bath, 1,763 square feet over two stories.
• Garage: attached, two cars.
• Lot: about 0.08 acres, individually platted, so each home sits on its own lot.
• Utilities: separate meters for each home.
• Association: none. The listing was marketed with no HOA.
• Outside: a private fenced yard.
• Style: contemporary.
• Phase: the second of three planned phases.
• ZIP: 75235.
• Price band: under $500K each.

What is the difference between selling seven homes and selling one?

On a single resale, every buyer is looking at one house. With seven homes on the same plan, every buyer is looking at seven, and comparing them with each other. The plan is the same, so what decides is everything the plan doesn’t cover: the lot, the position on the street, the light, the yard, what’s finished and what isn’t on the day of the showing.

From the seller’s side, that means each home has to make its own case. From the buyer’s side, it means comparing the lots, street positions and finishes, then asking what explains the price differences.

What does selling new construction teach you about buying it?

Four things worth taking into any new-development purchase, from a townhome to a tower.

The plan exists on paper first. Until the home is built, the floor plan, the square footage and the finishes exist in documents. A buyer should hold the contract to those documents, not to the model or the brochure.

The builder has a process, and it’s built for the builder. Contracts, deposits, timelines and change policies come from the builder’s side. They are often reasonable. They are still worth reading line by line with someone who represents you.

Phases matter. Lovedale Highlands was the second of three phases. In any phased project, what’s built next door later, and when, is part of what you’re buying now.

Check what the community doesn’t have. No HOA means no association dues and no association budget. It also means no association to handle anything shared. Neither is better on its own. It depends on the buyer and the property, and it should be a choice, not a surprise.

Why does a buyer’s agent need seller-side experience?

Because it helps to know what the other side is working with. Having sold a set of new homes on one plan, I’ve seen what a seller of new construction weighs from the inside: each sale sits next to the others, and every term given on one home is a term the next buyer can ask about.

Where is 75235 in the record?

ZIP 75235 holds 8 of the 47 closed deals in my record. Seven of them are these townhomes, each 1,763 square feet, all closed within 28 days of each other.
