Small-town living with easy access to the Big D
What began as a 30-acre mobile home park in the 1960s is now a desirable suburban city within the sprawling Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Despite being just a 20-minute drive from the whirl of downtown Dallas, Glenn Heights retains its small-town vibe with quiet neighborhoods and attractive homes. "Glenn Heights is small-town living near the big city," says Anne Foster, a Realtor with Dave Perry Miller Real Estate who has over 34 years of experience in the Dallas area. "It's close enough to Dallas for commuting, but it's a smaller community where people feel like they know each other."
Residents in Glenn Heights enjoy small-town vibes.

Suburban Dallas homes built between the 1980s and 2000s
Most Glenn Heights homes are variations of the new traditional style with brick exteriors and attached two-car garages. Home sizes range from around 1,500 to a little over 4,000 square feet, with three to five bedrooms, and prices typically fall between $275,000 and $630,000. "Glenn Heights home prices tend to be a little more affordable than other areas, and buyers can get newer homes there," Foster says. "And when I say newer, I mean many were built in the 2000s. So, they're new enough to have modern features like open floor plans and tall ceilings, but they're old enough for homeowners to still update and make them their own if they want to."
Glenn Heights is a quaint community with relaxing scenery.

DeSoto and Red Oak Independent School Districts serve families
Since the line between Dallas County and Ellis County runs through the southern portion of Glenn Heights, area kids attend schools in either the DeSoto or Red Oak Independent School Districts. DeSoto ISD schools include Moates Elementary for kindergarten through fifth grade, McCowan Middle for grades six through eight, and ninth through 12th graders attend DeSoto High School, winners of the 2022 state football championship. All three schools earned an overall C-minus grade on Niche. Youngsters in Red Oak ISD attend Shields Elementary for pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. The school earned an overall C-minus grade on Niche. Students filter into Red Oak Junior High School, which earned an overall B grade, then attend Red Oak High School, which earned an overall A-minus grade. "Both school districts offer a lot," Foster says. "And having a choice of districts can be a plus for some people."
Curtistene S. McCowan Elementary in Desoto is named after a former FTC Senior Investigator.
