🏡🔑 Can You Guess the Price?
9743 Burney Dr (Lake Highlands · RISD) — 4 bed · 3 bath · ~2,823 sq ft
9743 Burney Dr (Lake Highlands · RISD) — 4 bed · 3 bath · ~2,823 sq ft.
A bright Lake Highlands one-story with a spacious sunroom, double ovens, and granite counters—on a quiet, tree-lined street near White Rock. We’re not listing the price… but it’s well south of the million-dollar club and squarely in the “wait, that’s it?” territory. Think you can nail it within $10K? 😉
Why we picked it: desirable RISD pocket + move-in updates + legit interior space for the money.

🍽️Local Business Spotlight
Casa Brasa (opens today)
8111 Preston Rd (Preston Commons, across from Preston Center)
Open-fire Latin grill from chef Omar Flores (Whistle Britches, Muchacho) mixing wood-fired steaks, seafood, and a Latin-leaning raw/sushi bar. Soft-launch buzz has been building; doors open today, Monday Oct 27.
Why we picked it: Opening-day heat + Dallas chef pedigree + prime Park Cities location = high local interest tonight.
Good to know: Taking over the former Nick & Sam’s Grill space; menu teasers include wood-fired ribeyes, lamb chops, branzino “divorciado,” plus ceviches and specialty maki.
