Scenes from the first ever Creek Craze event.  Approximately 1500 people came to Lee Park and enjoyed the Easter Egg Roll, Face Painting, a Live Band and a special performance by Eddie Coker.  The weather could not have been better. 

Turtle Creek - New Hibiscus Fountain

A special thank you to members of the Lee Park Conservancy along with a generous grant from the Dallas Southern Memorial Association for the new hibiscus fountain in Turtle Creek.   The previous fountain had reached and surpassed its life expectancy.  Residents along Turtle Creek are delighted to have the new fountain up and running.

The first quarter is complete and the condo sales report for the Oak Lawn/Downtown/Turtle Creek area (MLS Area 17) are very interesting.  Despite what the national headlines may say, sales are relatively flat in this area.  While everyone would love to see an increase in sales, that we are holding our own is a positive sign:

2010 - 113

Average Sales Price:

2011 - $353,583
2010 - $354,236
