Downtown Dallas is one of the growing numbers of once neglected mid-western downtown areas that is trying to rebuild itself. People are investing here and living here, and in this economy, it's exciting to see lots of construction cranes and either new buildings or great oldies that are being renovated. My husband and I live in a fab loft that once was a train station, and have been checking out other places in the area to actually invest in rather than just rent.
We found a great place to think about -- a condo community built to encourage green living. They have a rainwater collection system to irrigate the native landscaping, use wind powered energy, and they even throw a moped in with any home purchase. On top of that, the design is very nice. I love this example of the possibilities, even in the middle of a concrete jungle, for eco-friendly living.
