What a $700K Home Looks Like in Each of Our Focus Cities

By Robert Wink – North Texas Realtor & Local Market Insider

Let’s be honest—$700,000 hits differently depending on where you’re shopping.

In North Texas, that price point can get you a custom build with land in one zip code and a move-in-ready two-story in a master-planned community in another.

If you’ve been wondering where your money stretches the furthest (or where lifestyle matches the price), here’s a breakdown of what $700K gets you across our core markets: Denton, Argyle, Northlake, Southlake, Westlake, Trophy Club, Flower Mound, and Roanoke.
