For my first blog, I think it's appropriate to start with my own neighborhood in Oak Cliff, Wynnewood North. When my husband and I first moved into Wynnewood our plan was to remodel our house in the two years we'd planned on keeping it and sell. After living in Wynnewood for a year and a half now, we can't see ourselves moving. There is another house in the neighborhood that should it come available I would like to consider purchasing, but unless I become the next Donald Trump of real estate, and can really move up in housing, we're staying right here in Wynnewood.
I love my neighborhood so much that I decided I should do something to help our wonderful community and I am on the Board as Social Director for 2009. My position is all telling of one of my favorite things about Wynnewood North...we are a tight knit community with many opportunities to know your neighbors through social gatherings. I am already planning our first event of the year, the Spring Fling (neighborhood garage sell followed by a bbq), which is followed a couple weeks later with the Spring Wander.
Wynnewood is a ranch home community mostly built in the 1950's. This is an area where a house has either been completely remodeled, or it's just waiting to be sold to be remodeled. Many residents try and keep with the original style of the house with some well kept, vintage bathrooms. The yards are immaculately kept and we even have a Callaway Nursery sponsored, "Yard of the Month." We also have 12 cameras that are installed on the outside of houses which continuously monitor activity in the neighborhood.
If you are looking for a home in Oak Cliff in the price range of the high $100k to the high $300k, I'd seriously suggest you check out Wynnewood North. You can almost always find a house to buy that needs to be remodeled or if that's not your cup of tea, many have already done daunting task for you!
