From Deep Ellum, whose name derives from an early African American dialect’s pronunciation of Elm Street, to some of the recognized names in music, such as Ray Charles and Robert Johnson, the Metroplex celebrates a leap-year’s worth of Black History Month.
Throughout DFW, celebrations pay tribute to African American contributions and accomplishments that stretched from north Texas to the rest of the world. It is here that:
One of the nation’s leading homebuilders that leads the way to the American Dream with 81 communities offering new homes for sale in Dallas, TX, Lennar shares several ways to mark the rich historical heritage throughout the month:
Explore: Take a narrated tour of black history, winding past sites
throughout Dallas that are little-known, along with stops for treats at African
American-owned businesses and admission to the African American Museum at Fair
Park.
Art and history: Billed as one of the largest of its kind outside of the Smithsonian
Institution, The Kinsey African American Art & History Collection runs
through February at the African American Museum in Fair Park. The 150-plus items from 1595 to
the present include paintings, sculptures, manuscripts, letters, rare books and
more. The museum lies just 23 miles from Overland Grove, a new community coming soon with new homes for sale in Forney, TX.
Branch out: From jazz to quilts to movies, Dallas Public Library plays host to a variety of events celebrating the month. Forest Green Branch, for instance, pays tribute to three influential women and to famous inventors. The branch is within 10 miles of the River Place Park Collection, which is coming soon new Lennar homes for sale in Garland, TX.
Right to vote: Grand Prairie Chamber of Commerce offers its “3rd Annual Black History Month Celebration: African Americans and the Right to Vote” on Feb 25.

While you’re shopping around for homes, it’s important to consider how your dog will react to the space. From making sure there’s plenty of room both inside and outside for your dog to roam around and explore, to checking that the community has dog-friendly neighbors, there are plenty of factors to look into before settling on the perfect home.
Fido-Friendly Features
When you’re buying a home and you’ve already got a dog in the family, it’s important to pay attention to a couple of key features that’ll really help your new home feel like a dream for every member of the family.
In a Lennar home, you and your pooch have the benefit of spacious, open-concept floor plans. Living in an open home give your dog plenty of room to explore and find a space that’s out of the way when it wants to take a nap, but when you’re ready to play, you’ve got plenty of room for that, too!
Living in a place where you’ve got access to a nearby dog park makes sure your pup is getting exercise regularly. Luckily, Lennar has plenty of communities all throughout Tampa Bay with dog parks situated inside the community!
Know the Neighborhood
When you’re looking at a home, be sure to scope out the surrounding area. Look for homes in communities to stay away from any busy streets in order to keep your pet safe and give them the opportunity to roam around the yard worry-free.
While you’re touring different communities, be sure to look around for other dogs. If a handful of your future neighbors are walking their four-legged friends around the community, chances are your home is in a space that’s safe for your dog.
By finding a home away from busy streets and making sure that you live in a dog-friendly neighborhood, your four-legged family member is sure to be comfortable in the home you choose. For more ways to make the most of owning a dog, be sure to Like Lennar on Facebook.

As the housing market flourishes with its continued comeback since the 2008 Great Recession, homebuyers are now being presented with more options than ever. From townhomes to existing stand-alone homes and more, the housing market itself is bathed in a green light of abundance.
As a result, the construction of new homes has also seen a gradual uptick, with the annual number of completed housing units seeing a rise of approximately 5.6% from 2018 to 2019.
But does that mean that homeowners are actively seeking out these new homes in their purchasing endeavors? The answer is a resounding “yes.”
“An estimated 681,000 new homes were sold in 2019,” the U.S. Census Bureau said in a Jan. 17 press release. “This is 10.3 percent … above the 2018 figure of 617,000.”
But that doesn’t mean some homebuyers aren’t still on the fence. And for those currently weighing their housing options, we encourage them to look at all of the benefits that come with purchasing a new Lennar Everything’s Included® home.
Modern Designs, Modern Decisions
Lennar’s Everything’s Included® homes feature a comprehensive array of advanced technology that allows you to customize your home according to your needs and preferences. Whether you have a heart and desire for eco-friendly, energy-saving appliances or you’re simply looking for the most modern installations to enhance your smart device capabilities, you can find it with Lennar.
Why retrofit an old home for a considerable chunk of money when you can simply have it ready-made for you?
Additionally, Lennar offers a variety of floorplans that are specifically designed with your family life in mind. Not only will this help you hone in on the perfect neighborhood to further optimize your lifestyle, but it provides you with the opportunity to fully realize and construct your dream home — rather than making yours fit into the predesigned rooms of another person’s used property.
All In The Little Details
Unpleasant surprises should never surface after buying your home. From weakened structural components, to issues of paint or pests, when you purchase an old home, you might unwittingly find yourself dealing with the long-ignored (and hidden) problems of the previous owners. But by investing in an Everything’s Included® home by Lennar, you will always know what you’re getting.
Not only are Lennar homes built to your specifications, but the reassurance of warranties on the roof, appliances, and more will leave you breathing a sigh of relief on your move-in day.
Additionally, the newer the home, the easier it is to maintain its beauty and structural safety. Where older homes require more frequent upkeep — and thus a more frequent shelling of money out of your wallet — your new Lennar home will ultimately refresh your previously busy schedule of domestic maintenance.
Putting Time and Money Back In Your Hands
Between competitive pricing that fits your budget, simplified financing that eliminates stress from the process, and a flexible construction schedule that gives you the gift of time, you’ll find that Lennar’s Everything’s Included® homes are not only the houses of your dreams — they also come as a part of the streamlined process you never expected to speed through with ease and comfort.
So, are you ready to join the growing cohort of homebuyers indulging in the booming market of new houses? Because Lennar is ready to guide you to your family’s new dream home! Simply contact us today to learn more about how Everything’s Included® can enhance your lifestyle. We look forward to welcoming you home!
