It was one of the first mixed used areas in the country away from a downtown. It has 25,000,000 sf of office space and it's just as big as downtown Dallas CBD.
Yep! It's crazy how much the area has grown in the last 10 years or so. I remember when a lot the land around Lake Carolyn was vacant. Now, it's mostly developed.
Walked around that area (especially Lake Carolyn) in Oct 2021, I was blown away when I realized that DFW has a mini-riverwalk like another one in The Woodlands.
It pretty empty in and around the lake. Mainly because you don’t get a lot of pass through traffic except for on in the northern area where the shops and amphitheater are. It amazes me that you don’t see more people walking as there are thousands of young single professionals that live in those apartments around there. I use to be one and I still was scratching my head. That was before the restaurants and stuff were built though. People would just head to there car in the parking garage and head Downtown, etc. drive back to parking garage and take elevator to apartment.
I lived at the Jefferson Park apartment in 1993 (20:50), studied at Las Colinas elementary, not shown in the video. My family and I usually go for a walk at the Thomas Jefferson Park every evening. Nice area. The area has not much changed for the past 30 years. Thanks a lot for the upload.
In 1998 I lived on North O'Connor Road, at what is now called Estates (16:02). I liked to grocery shop at Tom Thumb. In that area, it looks quite similar. At my apartment complex, they offered free apartment cleaning once a month if you wanted it. In late 1998 I moved to Valley Ranch.
Thanks for this video! My wife and I will be moving to the area in October, and it's good to have a "heads-up" of the region. It looks familiar - we may have bought something for our friends in Belize at an Ulta store there (or not, if I'm mistaken lol).

My grandfather in law lives in this development and I'm always struck by how empty the roads are whenever I'm there

I would love such empty roads lol.

Nice ride around the neighborhood of Irving TX
I departing Irving for college and never looked back. The streets, buildings and homes are beautiful, but there is no life. Where are all the people?
I always found this neighborhood interesting.

1:43 SH 131 / GWB Macarthur
What a clean and beautiful place where are the houses??
3:33 las colinas and gwb
I work in this area
shaky
It's ok, It's a little too clean, plain and boring. These types of developments are popping up all over the US, it's too corn flaky.
This one was the first. Every other development copied Las Colinas.
Yep.. and the concrete roads. I don't know something about it made me depressed just looking at it when I lived in Dallas.
