Welcome to Casa Linda

Close proximity to White Rock Lake, an easy downtown commute, large lots, mature trees, and vintage homes attract many to the Casa Linda area, which was first developed in 1939. But neighbors says that it’s the sense of community among those who live there that inspires new residents to settle there permanently.
