Analyst Commentary
DART-Anchored Urbanism: EVIVA apartments opened December 2025 with 436 units. Esplanade Park is live. This is Carrollton's bet on transit-oriented living—walkable to DART Green Line.
Price Point: Carrollton offers 20-30% discounts vs. Frisco/Plano for similar square footage. The TOD adds urban amenities without urban prices.
Commute Reality: Green Line to downtown Dallas is 35-40 minutes. If you work in Uptown, downtown, or medical district, this is viable car-free living. If you work in Frisco, you're driving anyway.
Best value play in the metroplex. Carrollton is genuinely undervalued. Trinity Mills TOD adds urban amenities to an affordable market. Buy in Old Downtown Carrollton or Carrollton Heights now—before the TOD narrative fully prices in. Perfect for young professionals, empty nesters, or anyone who values DART access over square footage.
