I’d agree with CR - Greenway Parks or may be the gated Hillwood development up on Inwood (not sure its PH). I don’t see them in Lakewood - but that one house does have a bomb shelter and extra escape hatches all around. Hmm…the more I think about it…yes that $2.8MM red brick traditional in Lakewood might be a good one.

I think “The Creeks at Inwood” would be considered Preston Hollow. That would be a good choice, but it might require them (by virtue of the comps around them) to build
/ buy a “huge” house…which some source close to the
First Lady said wasn’t the First Family’s plan.
Just to clarify, when you said “not
PH” did you mean: neither old Preston Hollow (i.e. The inwood estate area) nor new Preston Hollow (the neighborhood where the Bushes used to live)?

Far North Dallas, 5 minutes from 190…

Kessler Park?

My guess is that if the latest rumor is not Highland Park, University Park, Preston Hollow (in its modern, all encompasing definition), or Bluffview, then the latest rumor will turn out to be wrong. Because I just can’t see a former president living in or near Dallas and not living in one of those four cities / neighborhoods.
Mr. Magoo@ June 24th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Bella Nora is already under contract and has been for a few weeks.
Candy Evans@ June 24th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
Bella Nora has been purchased by a very famous person. I’m awaiting permission to let it roar. But it’s not the Bushies.
I know…4300 Rheims Place. In the guest house next to the travertine, jade, marble, and gold leaf vomitorium which sits behind the Pogues main house.

Grumpy. You’re the kind of person I would want to sit next to at a dinner party. If you’ve got nothing nice to say, come sit next to me.
Yes we care@ June 26th, 2008 at 10:39 am
Hey Tease….its been 3 days. Yes you Candy! Give it up!
Boo@ June 26th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
I heard Mesquite!!!
GT@ June 28th, 2008 at 9:18 am
I find it hard to believe that the Bushes would live anywhere other than HP, UP (only the Volk Estates), PH or BV, but they may want to take a total change on their entree back to ¨Dallas¨.
GT@ June 28th, 2008 at 9:20 am
plus, you have to have enough land for all that security…
ChuckE@ June 29th, 2008 at 11:06 pm
Did Faye Dunaway buy Bella Nora? Just a guess.
Grumpy@ June 30th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
Tick tock…Candy? Come on…this is prolonged torture.
I think the Cloisters would be a perfect location for them. The entire neighborhood only has three (maybe four) points of entry, so it would be easy to secure. I believe there’s already a congressman in the neighborhood. And the houses are all on big lots, with plenty of room for secret service staff.
Also, I doubt that most people even know where it is or how to get there.
Candy Evans@ June 30th, 2008 at 4:29 pm
So sorry, I have had “technical difficulties…” And no, not Faye Dunaway on “Bella Nora” (would have been appropriate) but a well-known local sports figure.
GMOM@ July 1st, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Ew, ew please say Jerry Jones and his band of Traveling Trailor Trash are all moving to that Bella Nausium abortion someone has built on that wonderful property. Grumpy, you are the best and “vomitorium” is the best word I’ve ever heard for the shiite these people are throwing up!! How can we stop “them”?
DallasDirt is a daily discussion among editors at D Magazine and D Home about the Dallas-Fort Worth residential real estate market, with topics including but not limited to: hot neighborhoods, secret listings, celebrity listings, real estate trends, tips for buying, tips for selling, data analysis, and more. If DallasDirt were a house, it'd be a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath ranch house in "above average" condition -- that is, sophisticated with nice touches and comfy enough you’ll want to stay a while.
Huntsville?
Victory Park?
Either The W or The House (not the White one).
A cell in the Hague?
For a single family home: Greenway Parks?
For a condo: The Ritz?
All these rumors…can we get Great Britain to qualify them as “credible?”
Farmers Branch?
The Cloisters?
