Still scratching my head about what’s wrong with that pic. Transit? Check. Dense? Check. New construction next to urban center? Check
If this were on Long Island you would be celebrating it

Yeah. No doubt, I always thought Los Colinas was an extremely boring looking area, so I agree with the person who originally made the comment. However, if you look at the area from a macro standpoint, its relatively in the middle of nowhere. It's not like its 3 miles from downtown Dallas. Knowing this, I think the development is alright. It's decent, you have relatively high-density apartments abutting rail. You can take the train to downtown Dallas or to the Airport. Perfect for young singles who work downtown or fly a lot.
It's nice for what it is...but it ain't like some uber urban neighborhood in Boston or NYC and will never be.
