Addison

Addison isn't a typical suburb—it's barely residential. This unique Dallas County town offers urban convenience and more restaurants per capita than almost anywhere in the nation.

Vibe: Urban, business-oriented, and cosmopolitan—more city than suburb despite its small geographic footprint.

Location & Commute: Addison occupies just 4.4 square miles in Dallas County, bordered by the Dallas North Tollway and the Dallas city limits. Downtown Dallas sits about 12 miles south—a 15-20 minute commute. The town's central location provides quick access to DFW Airport (15 minutes), Plano, Richardson, and North Dallas employment centers.

Lifestyle & Amenities: Addison Circle and the restaurant corridor along Belt Line Road deliver exceptional dining—the town boasts more restaurants per capita than nearly anywhere in the nation. Addison Airport serves corporate aviation. Vitruvian Park offers upscale mixed-use living with events and entertainment. The town hosts Addison Kaboom Town (July 4th celebration) and Oktoberfest, drawing regional crowds. Cavanaugh Flight Museum and proximity to Galleria Dallas add appeal.

Real Estate Scene: Addison is unique—the town is approximately 95% commercial/multi-family, with very limited single-family housing stock. Expect luxury apartments and high-end condos ($250K-$800K+ for condos; $1,500-$3,000+/month for apartments). The few single-family homes that exist command premium prices ($600K-$1.2M+) due to scarcity. This is primarily a rental and luxury condo market, not traditional suburban homeownership.

Who Moves Here: Young professionals seeking urban convenience without downtown Dallas prices, corporate executives wanting short-term luxury living, empty nesters preferring maintenance-free condo lifestyle, and residents who prioritize walkability and dining over yards and schools. Limited appeal for families with children.
