Buy a Home in North Dallas 75287
Updated October 2026 by Sherien Joyner, Carrollton REALTOR®, GRI
If you are looking at homes for sale in 75287, start here: 75287 is the Far North Dallas zip code that sits between Carrollton, Addison, and Plano. The mailing address says Dallas, but the day-to-day life feels a lot like the suburbs around it: established neighborhoods, townhomes and condos near the Tollway, and a short drive to Carrollton, Addison, and the Legacy area of Plano.
I live in Carrollton, right next door, and have listed homes in 75287 — including a home on Lark Meadow Way. Here is what buyers should know before they shop this zip.

75287 home prices right now
For the three months ending September 2026 (Redfin, 75287 housing market, data through Sept. 2026):
- Median sale price: about $452,000, down 3.3% from a year earlier.
- Time on market: a median of 36 days, down from 53 a year earlier.
- Volume: 61 homes sold in September 2026, down from 71.
- Negotiation room: a median sale-to-list of 97.4%. About 15% of homes sold above list, while about 45% of listings had a price drop.
For buyers, that means the well-priced homes still move in about a month, but there is room to negotiate on listings that have already been reduced. The median mixes condos, townhomes, and houses, so we always price from the closest similar sales.
Dallas address, suburban counties
75287 is in the City of Dallas, but almost none of it is in Dallas County. By land area it is about 58% Collin County and 42% Denton County, with a sliver in Dallas County (Census Bureau 2020 ZIP-to-county relationship file). That matters for two reasons:
- Property taxes: your bill combines the City of Dallas, the school district, the county, and other local entities. A Collin County / Plano ISD home and a Denton County / CFBISD home in the same zip can have different total rates. I estimate the tax bill for each address before you offer.
- Appraisal district: the homestead exemption is filed with the appraisal district for your county (Collin CAD or Denton CAD). Confirm the county on the appraisal record for the exact address.
Homes for sale in 75287: what you will find
- Established single-family neighborhoods, including areas near Frankford Road and Briargrove Lane, many with mature trees and two-story homes.

- Townhomes, condos, and apartments along the Dallas North Tollway and Midway Road corridors — often the lower-priced entry point, with HOA dues to budget.
Before you buy a townhome or condo here, read the association’s resale certificate, budget, and reserves (see Texas Property Code Chapter 207 and, for condos, §82.157).
