If you’re relocating to the Dallas–Fort Worth area, one of the most common questions buyers ask is how far their budget will really go — especially as prices and priorities continue to shift across North Texas.
In this home tour, we take a closer look at what around $600,000 can buy you in a fast-growing Dallas suburb, specifically in Midlothian. This is a price range where many buyers are focused on newer construction, functional layouts, and long-term livability.
The home featured in this video is a one-story new construction home by Perry Homes, showcasing their 2994 floor plan, which offers nearly 3,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space — all on one level.
Inside the Perry Homes 2994 Floor Plan
The Perry Homes 2994 is designed for buyers who want space and flexibility without moving into a two-story home. The layout features four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, with the bedrooms intentionally split to provide privacy and separation.
Two secondary bedrooms are connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, making this plan especially appealing for families. A third secondary bedroom is tucked away in its own wing with a nearby full bath, creating a great option for guests, teenagers, or a home office setup.
One of the standout features of this floor plan is the dedicated media room, located just off the main living area. Media rooms are often found upstairs in larger homes, so having one on a single-story layout is a major draw for buyers who want everything accessible on one level.
Open Living, Kitchen, and Dining Space
The heart of the home centers around an open-concept kitchen, dining, and family room. The kitchen features a large center island, ample cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, double ovens, and a gas cooktop — all elements that buyers in this price range consistently prioritize.
The dining area is surrounded by windows, allowing for plenty of natural light and views into the backyard, while the family room benefits from tall ceilings that help the home feel even larger than its square footage suggests.
A Private Primary Suite
The primary bedroom is positioned at the back of the home, offering privacy and backyard views. The ensuite bathroom includes separate vanities, a soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and two separate walk-in closets — a layout many buyers prefer for everyday functionality.
Large windows throughout the bathroom provide natural light while maintaining privacy, adding to the overall sense of space and comfort.
Outdoor Living and Lot Size
This home sits on a 60-foot lot, with additional options available on 70- and 80-foot lots within the community. The covered back patio provides plenty of space for outdoor seating and entertaining, and some homes back to walking trails, giving the yard a more open, natural feel.
About the Bridgewater Community in Midlothian
This home is located in the Bridgewater community, a newer development in Midlothian built by the same developer behind other popular area neighborhoods.
Bridgewater is planned to include amenities such as pools, pickleball courts, walking trails, and neighborhood parks — making it attractive to buyers who want access to recreation without sacrificing space or location. Schools are served by Midlothian ISD, which continues to draw families relocating to the area.
Is Midlothian the Right Fit for You?
Midlothian appeals to buyers who want newer homes, growing amenities, and a slightly slower pace compared to more congested parts of DFW. While it may not offer immediate access to major corporate hubs, many buyers feel the trade-off is worth it for the space and value they gain.
This home tour is designed to help you decide whether a one-story new construction home in Midlothian fits your budget, lifestyle, and long-term plans — before you start visiting model homes.
