Transit-Oriented Development
Carrollton is Where Connections Happen
With Dallas Area Rapid Transit’s (DART’s) Green Line arriving in Carrollton in December 2010, the city is at a crossroads of tremendous opportunity – for developers, citizens, potential residents and businesses.
Carrollton is a community looking to its future by reflecting on – and connecting – with its rich past. In the coming years, the rail lines that once carried cotton and grain through town will carry people to three new DART light rail stations, scheduled to open by 2013. The stations will link Carrollton directly to Dallas, other Metroplex cities, and eventually DFW Airport. Each station will bring with it transit-oriented development (TOD) opportunities and new points of connection for residents, visitors and businesses.
Carrollton’s Old Downtown area is the only transit intersection in the Dallas-Fort Worth region capable of three or more transit lines outside of downtown Dallas in the foreseeable future, and as a result, is ripe for development, including real estate, commercial and investment opportunities. It’s also predicted that this station will be the fourth largest transportation hub after Downtown Dallas, Downtown Fort Worth and DFW Airport, making Carrollton a place that is truly poised to be “Where Connections Happen.”

Don't procratinate, use the tax credit now.
Start your house search now. Getting an early start will give you a better chance of finding the right house before the credit deadline.
When first-time buyers thought that the credit would expire Nov. 30, people scrambled to find properties in September and October.
Before you start house hunting, get preapproved for a mortgage, and do a realistic assessment of what you can afford.
Buyers who have to sell an existing home should price it aggressively from the beginning to drum up interest and get a buyer as soon as possible.
Don't count on another extension
