David Weekley Homes Fort Worth & Tarrant County

David Weekley is a very popular home builder in North Texas and other parts of the country. I've personally bought and lived in a David Weekley Home, so I can tell you all the ins-and-outs about the company.

Personally, I prefer David Weekley Homes to DR Horton Homes, but generally speaking, the DR Horton Home is usually slightly more affordable than the David Weekley models in the same new home communities. These two home builders often share space in the same master planned communities.

I think David Weekley Homes are a bit more higher quality. You can tell when you walk in the homes that they feel more solid than the DR Horton or other builders. The other builders try to make up for quality with gazillions of upgrades, but that doesn't hide the fact that the quality is just not as high as David Weekley. Maybe it's just my perception after exposure to excellent marketing by David Weekley, but this is the impression that I have after working with both companies extensively.

David Weekley Homes has the details down better. For example, Weekley seems to employee better sales agents, in my humble opinion. (I should know) The package they give you when you buy a home is big and substantial. You feel like you're part of a well-oiled machine throughout the entire build-out process. The price is a little higher than the others in the area, which I'm sure has contributed to my bias.

Trends in Home Home Decor

Buying a brand new homes? If you're both lucky and rich your walls will be bathed in rich hues that make family and friends sit and stay a spell. If you're really blessed you have the gobs of faux finish spattered about with a burnt umber gloss for the aged plaster patina. If you're like the rest of us, sometimes lucky and rich in spirit, you're starring at those white walls wondering how to make winter white look wow. Brrrrr

Brand new homes
sometimes come with pretty colors, but for the most part it's more economical to paint after your house is built. If you're not an interior designer, what can you do to assure your walls welcome you and yours? Here's a few tips from someone just like you--me. Only I have taken the time to write down my wall ponders for your benefit. This is not the decorator's gospel... it's just a normal gal's guide to making her four walls pop.

1. Choose warm colors. If I've learned anything in my life, it's that you want a warm and inviting feeling in a house, unless you are an ultra modern condo dweller. Warm colors with hints of red, orange and yellow remind us of warm sunlight as opposed to cold colors that make you think of being freezing...(who wants that at home?) Neutral colors are just that--neutral, boring, plain and are good for walls as a type of visual relief.

Paint colors for 2007

42-Unit deal closed for Park Ridge Townhomes

(Arlington) - Forty-two vintage townhouses have brought close to $40,000 per unit. Park Ridge Townhomes at 300 W. Park Row Dr. went to Clarus Investments 6 LLC of Portland, OR. The 92.4 percent-leased rental property sits on two acres, and will undergo moderate renovations as units turn. The 21-year-old townhouses, historically 100 percent filled, are close to the University of Texas at Arlington, with students making up roughly half of the tenant base. The roughly 1,000-square-foot units have two- and three-bedroom floor plans. The monthly rent averages 60 cents per square foot.

$6.5M Renovation for Arlington Family Amusement Center

(Arlington) - Brian Smith has spent $6.5 million on the blue-and-green-checkered, red-striped, yellow-blocked walls of the 40,000-square-foot Alley Cats building, which sprawls on 6.5 acres. Alley Cats on 2004 W. Pleasant Ridge Road is Smith's first attempt to focus a family amusement center on bowling. Besides 24 bowling lanes, there's also a two-story, 5,000-square-foot laser-tag course, a giant rock-climbing wall, a billiards room, several meeting rooms, and a restaurant.
