Tom Landry’s Dallas Home Hits the Market

[Reverend Conehead]

I don't know if I could live there. I would be wishing the walls could talk and then be disappointed when they don't.

Are you not an American? More, more more, bigger is better.

lol. Yeah I'm an American but I don't believe in that creed to be totally honest with you. It's stupid and wasteful, IMO. I could be using all that extra money dropped on dumb *** stuff like that to travel the world, see places I haven't seen, and enjoy life outside of a house and some cars.

That's just me though. I'm happy with a lot more modest and simple houses and cars.

It's nice but even if I had the money its WAY to much house for me.

I just don't understand the need for all that. That one picture was a room with a freaking sectional type couch in the middle of the room and...what? So it's just a spare room to sit on a sectional and just hang out? Like what the hell does anyone need another room for that? That's what the dang living room is for.

I guess I'm just weird but that just seems like a silly expense for something completely unneeded.

Because when you threw your house warming party and invited everyone on this forum we would all need somewhere to stand

Okay that's fair enough.

Maybe JG should buy it and move in?

 

[SultanOfSix]

That seems way overpriced for house and land.

Landry's name must be like half the cost of the house.

Staubach painting

The corporate overlords are not happy with you. Be very vigilant!

It always amazes me how much of a house you can buy in the Mid West compared to out where I live.

Maybe you just don't have enough money because you don't always have to choose between nice things and traveling like so many online I've saw say/post.

If you're truly happy with modest things cool but almost everybody I see online tries to make it an either or thing when it's not always the case.

I was ready to pack our stuff until I saw the price, lol!!!

Yep, anything in Preston Hollow is super expensive. It's not quite Highland Park but it's close. It's listed at $312 per sqft which is probably about normal for that area if the updates are high quality. The 0.37 acres is a good size lot.

The higher end suburbs here North of Dallas have generally been under $100 per sqft for a long time. The're now climbing up to the $125 to $150 range but that's still low compared to California.

Even the high end area like Highland Park in the middle of Dallas which is probably often in the $1000 per sqft still does not compare to many areas in California.

The "catch" is that property taxes in Texas are very high. They are generally 1/3 of your mortgage payment. About 12K for a 400K house.

Where I live in Oregon its about $150 and taxes are between 4~5K an that's your average middle class home. Prices have been going up as more people from Cali migrate up here. Goes without saying very few like them moving up here.

That's fair enough as well.

I'm saying if I could afford something like that house then yeah I could afford to travel too if I wanted to and I'd still choose a far more modest house and travel even more.

I'm just not materialistic in any manner. I don't buy the high dollar name brand clothing. I do a lot of shopping off a Walmart rack. I could buy more expensive....but why? I just don't care about junk like that.

Money is far more fun when you use it for truly fun things like trips, and travel, and doing fun stuff with friends and family. The materialistic junk is just that, junk.

Don't know much of the city of Dallas but I always loved ranch homes with a lot of sq ft. It reminds me of the Ladera Heights / Windsor Hills homes in LA where it don't look much from the front but once you go inside, it is a lot of house with a very decent back yard.

This guy did a good job opening it up and my guess is that if the neighborhood is high class, it is worth it.

I hear you. Personally I like materialistic "junk" lol. That's what the money is here for material stuff and the stuff your into also.

This isn't Landry's house anymore...... it was bought years ago from the estate and has been completely remodeled

Landry has a mansion in God's neighborhood these days
