If you saw an ad that said golf course community with winding streets and oversized home sites, lots of mature trees, only 2 miles from Dallas Galleria. Your first question would be why hasn’t this community sold out already! The answer is it has, in fact it sold out years ago.
Located adjacent to the exclusive private Northwood Hills Country Club, is the beautiful community of Northwood Hills. Northwood Hills still retains it’s glory years after the last lot was developed and a home was built on it. The smiling homeowners moved in without much fanfare, and they were the last buyers to buy a new home in Northwood Hills… until something very interesting started to happen. As these older homes fell pray to the years and sometimes outright neglect that become known as “potential tear downs” today Northwood Hill is seeing a resurgence of new homes being built. Builder such as True North Custom Homes are building new homes in Northwood Hills that are designed to fit in with the existing community. These builders go to great lengths to avoid the big box two stories often common in this type or project.

In 1952 the new Northwood Hills Country Club hosted the U.S. Open
Julius Boros made his first career victory the United States Open, shooting 281 to defeat Ed (Porky) Oliver by four strokes at Northwood Country Club in Dallas. Ben Hogan finished third. It was often said after that victory that Boros, because of his ability to drive the ball straight and to hit soft pitch shots when he missed greens, had the ideal game for the rigorous course setup of the United States Open.

Tear downs are great. Keep the neighborhood alive and keep the housing price going up.
Great to hear about what seems to be a wonderfully located development. Golf course communities in the Augusta, Georgia area are struggling through the housing crisis. Any property over $350K has a less than 6% chance of selling.
I agree Joe, i have been trying to sell my property there.. but just not getting the right price.! btw nice post!
