Allen, TX was just named the second best place to live in Texas by NerdWallet.com!

This is what they had to say about Allen:

As one of our large communities with lower crime in Texas, and with the third-best education score on our list, it’s no surprise that Allen comes in near the top of our rankings. It appears homeowners agree, since 78% of households in Allen own their homes — a much higher rate than the median of 59.9% for large cities. The Dallas suburb prides itself on its arts and culture, from a quilters guild to the Collin County Ballet Theatre. The community is also home to National American University-Allen and Collin College.”

Grand Homes has two beautiful communities in this North Texas city – Landings of Kittyhawk and Cumberland Crossing.

01_FrontThe Landings of Kittyhawk is located off Stacy Road, between Central Expressway and the Sam Rayburn Tollway. Allen Premium Outlets, Topgolf, The Village at Allen and Allen High School are nearby. But you don’t have to go far for some fun! The Landings boasts an amenity center, neighborhood pool and playground. We currently have one home that is ready for move in at this community.

According to Business Insider, the National Retail Federation has predicted that consumers will spend about $13 billion on Father’s Day gifts this year, it may seem like a lot, but it’s no match for the $21 billion spent on Mother’s Day gifts last month. What better way to surprise dad than with his own, private man cave?

A man cave is a space or room in the home where dad can go to unwind after a long day. There are tons of fabulous decorating ideas for these spaces, but the most important aspects are whether 1) the room is functional and 2) it caters to dad’s favorite things. Grand Home owners have the option to use their LifeSpace to create dad’s sanctuary. Here are a few ideas we love!

golf-man-cavesLet dad practice his putting in peace with his very own golf-themed space complete with putting green! Use old golf clubs, balls, tees etc. to bring the clubhouse feel to the room and don’t forget a TV! Dads love TVs.

 

 

Gorgeous-drum-pendants-are-a-perfect-fit-for-the-space-above-the-pool-tableHow about a round of pool and a cold drink? Dad won’t need to leave the comfort of his own home to have a “night out” with the guys.

 

 

 

 

4840cda034330ea06f3f7252a2640599Save money on décor and invest in a nice TV or projector and the comfiest couch dad has ever sat on. Bonus points for multiple screens! Load up a bar with snacks and drinks and he’ll be in heaven!

 

 

 

 

Spend this Father’s Day getting to know dad a little better. What are his favorite pastimes? Is he a collector? What would his theme be? Then get started on this project together. Visit garage sales, estate sales and thrift stores for some inexpensive décor pieces, but most of all have fun! No amount of money can buy the quality time you will share with dad. The best things in life are free, after all!
