From Lakewood at $498/sq ft to Pleasant Mound at $149/sq ft, the listed neighborhoods span a ratio of 3.3 to 1, the widest of the ten cities in this series. 15 of the 25 sit above the citywide median of $248/sq ft. Over the year, Hillcrest Forest rose the most (+9.6%, from $334 to $366/sq ft), and Bertrand fell the most (-11.9%, from $177 to $156/sq ft). 12 of the 25 neighborhoods with a comparison rose.
Lakewood ($498), Lower Greenville ($400) and Midway Hollow ($396) lead the list, and Lower Greenville also has the most closings of any listed neighborhood (425). Pleasant Mound ($149), Bertrand ($156) and Pleasant Grove ($159) sit at the bottom, with median prices between $206,000 and $218,750.
Home type splits some neighborhoods sharply. Vickery Meadows houses closed at $297/sq ft against $110 for its condos, and Hillcrest Forest houses at $423 against $138. Bent Tree shows that a high price and a high per-foot price are different things: its median home sold for $843,000 at 3,493 sq ft, yet at $248/sq ft it sits exactly on the citywide median.
Besides Hillcrest Forest, Buckner Terrace (+7.9%) and Midway Hollow (+7.6%) rose the most over the year, while North Oak Lawn (-8.1%) and Pleasant Mound (-5.1%) joined Bertrand among the biggest drops.

How to use price per square foot when you make an offer in Dallas
Price per square foot is a quick way to spot a listing that looks expensive or cheap. Three checks make it useful before you set an offer:
- Compare within the neighborhood and home type. Dallas single-family homes went for $247/sq ft and condos for $247/sq ft, and the listed neighborhoods run from $149 to $498/sq ft, so a citywide average can be far off for any one home.
- Adjust for size. Homes under 1,000 sq ft closed at $192/sq ft in Dallas, against $268/sq ft for 2,000 to 2,999 sq ft, so compare a listing only with homes of a similar size.
- Check the sale-to-list ratio. The median Dallas home closed at 97.9% of its list price, so buyers typically closed a little below list, and a listing's per-foot asking price is a ceiling more often than a floor. See how much over asking Dallas buyers pay.
On TurboHome's own Texas closings from November 1, 2025 to October 31, 2026, a small sample of 38, buyers paid a median $204/sq ft against a median list price of $202/sq ft (34 closings with a recorded living area), and 59.5% of 37 closings were below the list price. Across the four Texas cities in this series, the median home closed at 97.3% to 99.1% of its list price.
Before a TurboHome buyer writes an offer, their agent runs a comparable-based valuation of the home and an AI offer-acceptance prediction, so the offer price rests on recent sales of similar homes rather than a citywide average.

Methodology
Source: TurboHome's MLS closings data (our MLS feed), closings from November 1, 2025 to October 31, 2026, compared with November 1, 2024 to October 31, 2025.
Filters: closed price of at least $50,000, living area of at least 200 sq ft, price per square foot between $20 and $5,000, and single-family homes, condos and townhouses only. Price per square foot is the closed price divided by the recorded living area.
Neighborhoods: the 25 highest-volume neighborhoods with at least 20 closings in the window, sorted by median price per square foot. The single-family and condo columns show a value only where that type had 12 or more closings, and the year-over-year change only where the neighborhood had 12 or more closings a year earlier. A home type gets its own row only with 30 or more closings.
Every figure is a median: price per square foot, sale price, living area and sale-to-list ratio. The middle half is the 25th to 75th percentile.
Notes for Dallas:
- Dallas closings come from NTREIS, the MLS that covers Dallas and Fort Worth.
FAQ
What is a good price per square foot in Dallas?
It depends on the neighborhood, home type and size. Citywide, Dallas homes closed at a median $248/sq ft over the last 12 months, and the middle half sold between $182 and $345/sq ft. A good price for a specific home is one in line with recent sales of similar homes nearby: listed neighborhoods ranged from $149/sq ft in Pleasant Mound to $498/sq ft in Lakewood.
Which Dallas neighborhood has the highest price per square foot?
Lakewood, at a median $498/sq ft on 121 closings, followed by Lower Greenville ($400) and Midway Hollow ($396). The least expensive of the 25 listed neighborhoods is Pleasant Mound at $149/sq ft.
Why do smaller homes cost less per square foot in Dallas?
In Dallas the per-foot price rises with size instead of falling: homes under 1,000 sq ft closed at a median $192/sq ft, 28% below the $268 for homes of 2,000 to 2,999 sq ft, and homes of 3,000 sq ft and up closed at $375. The neighborhood table shows the same pattern, since the large homes sit in the priciest neighborhoods: Lakewood's median home is 3,538 sq ft at $498/sq ft, while Pleasant Mound's is 1,367 sq ft at $149/sq ft.
Is price per square foot a good way to value a home?
It is a useful first check, not a valuation. The per-foot number moves with neighborhood, home type, size, condition and lot, and in Dallas the listed neighborhoods sit 3.3 to 1 apart, so compare a home only with recent sales of similar homes nearby. TurboHome agents price an offer from a comparable-based valuation instead of a citywide average.
Can I get cash back when I buy a house in Dallas?
Yes. TurboHome is a flat-fee buyer's brokerage serving Dallas: it charges a flat fee instead of a percentage commission and refunds the rest of the buyer-side commission to you at closing, where it can go toward your closing costs. Compare the companies that refund the buyer's agent commission in Texas.
