Estimates, not a loan quote. Add homeowners insurance, any HOA dues, and mortgage insurance with less than 20 percent down. Your rate depends on your credit, loan type and points. The $140,000 homestead exemption lowers the school portion of the tax once the home is yours and you file. Run How Much Can You Afford with your own numbers.
Where buyers start in Kessler Park
1920s and 1930s Tudors, Spanish Revivals and prairie style houses on large irregular lots, many designed around the creek and the hills. Each pocket draws a different buyer and a different budget, so pick the pocket before you pick the house.
- Kessler Park proper and the Colorado Boulevard estates: the largest historic houses and the top of the Kessler Park market.
- Stevens Park Estates and Stevens Park Village: historic Tudor, Spanish and Colonial homes from the 1920s on, and some later ranches, around Stevens Park Golf Course. Stevens Park Estates is a City of Dallas conservation district.
- East Kessler and Kessler Plaza: smaller houses and the entry point to the neighborhood.
Hills mean drainage and foundation questions, and 1920s houses mean plumbing and electrical. Get a specialist inspection. The payoff is a house with character about seven minutes from downtown.
What to check before you offer in Kessler Park
- Older houses. Budget for a foundation evaluation and a sewer line camera scope on top of the general inspection. Original cast iron or clay drain lines, older wiring and pier and beam foundations are the repairs that turn up after the option period if nobody looked.
- Conservation districts. Stevens Park Estates is a City of Dallas conservation district, so exterior changes and additions there need city review. Other streets may or may not sit in a district, so we check the exact address with the city before you plan a remodel.
- Water nearby. Check the flood zone and the flood insurance quote before you write the offer. The Home Check pulls the FEMA zone for any address.
- Every house. Run the Home Check for the flood zone and any MUD or water district, use the total rate on the county tax bill for the monthly cost, and confirm the school zone on the exact address with the district.
Kessler Park schools
Kessler Park is in Dallas ISD, and much of it is zoned to Rosemont, a pre K through 8th grade dual language school with two campuses, and then to Sunset High School. Middle school can be Rosemont or W. E. Greiner depending on the address, so we confirm the zoning with Dallas ISD for each house.
How buying a Kessler Park home works in Texas
- Get preapproved. A lender letter with your real payment, not just the loan amount, so you shop at the right price.
- Sign a buyer agreement and tour. We send the listings that fit and tour with you. The agreement sets out what we do and how we are paid.
- Write the offer on the Texas contract. It names the price, the earnest money held by the title company, and an option fee that buys you a set number of days to inspect and walk away for any reason.
- Inspect during the option period. General inspection plus anything the house calls for from the list above. Negotiate repairs or a credit before the option period ends.
- Appraisal, survey and title. The lender orders the appraisal, the title company issues the title commitment, and you review the survey.
- Close and file your homestead. Once it is your home, file the free homestead application with the Dallas Central Appraisal District (DCAD). It cuts the school taxable value by $140,000, and starting the year after you qualify, it limits increases in the appraised value of the home to 10 percent a year. Tax rates can still change.
Before you tour, run the Home Check on any address for the flood zone and any MUD or water district, and read the Dallas County property tax page so the first bill is not a surprise.
