Birchbrook Manor

Birchbrook Manor is a Dallas condo complex located between Lovers Lane and E University, east of Central Expressway. There are 62 units in the complex. Most of the units are approximately 1050 square feet, 2 bedroom, 2 bath, with one living area. Some of the units have a larger floor plan that has two living areas. The complex has 2 assigned covered parking. The HOA covers all utilities other than electric (and phone, cable, Internet...but, you would expect that). The HOA also includes the wages for a porter who picks up the garbage twice a week from the back door of each condo. He is also very conscientious about sweeping the common areas. He keeps the place looking nice. Each unit has its own heating and cooling system. The cost of upkeep and replacement are the responsibility of the individual homeowner. There are pet limits (dogs have to be smaller than 40 lbs and there can't be more than two pets per unit). There are coin-op washer-driers in the back hall of each "stoop". Those appliances are shared by only the 4 occupants of that "stoop". Some unit owners have retrofitted washer-drier connections into their units. To do that requires HOA board approval.

The complex is one of seven built in the area by the same company in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Those complexes are Sandhurst Manor, Sandhurst Plaza, The Terrace, Williamsburg I (aka Caruth Manor), Williamsburg II, Birchbrook Manor and Birchbrook II.

Birchbrook Manor is 3 blocks from the Lovers Lane Lightrail Station and a block from Central Market. The complex is in the DISD attendance zone for Stonewall Jackson Elementary. It is a great place to live!
