What Does a Kessler Park House Sell For in 2026?
By Paul Blair | October 6, 2026
A three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath house of 3,067 square feet on Lausanne Avenue closed on July 24, 2026 for $1,500,000, according to Redfin's recently sold list for Kessler Park. That is roughly $489 per square foot. It is also the only closed sale Redfin counted inside Kessler Park for its most recent three-month window, which is the most important thing to know before anyone quotes a "Kessler Park price."
This post uses the Lausanne Avenue sale as a market comp. It is not a Grey Square listing, and nothing here describes that property beyond what the public sale record shows.
Where Kessler Park Sits
Kessler Park is in Oak Cliff, southwest of downtown Dallas. Wikipedia's entry on the Kessler community describes it as bounded by Highway 30 to the north, Colorado Boulevard to the south, Beckley Avenue to the east, and Stevens Park Golf Course to the west, and it is named for the planner George E. Kessler. The same entry notes the mature trees and rolling terrain that set the area apart from the flatter grid streets elsewhere in Dallas.
The history is documented too. The City of Dallas archives list a 1924 title abstract for the first installment of Kessler Park, in the Municipal Archives collection on Stevens Park. Streets here follow the hillside rather than a grid, which is why one block can look nothing like the next.
Stevens Park Golf Course anchors the western edge. The Dallas Park and Recreation page for Stevens Park lists an 18-hole public course at 1005 N Montclair Avenue, and the open green space it provides is one of the first things a buyer notices when driving the western streets.
The Numbers Behind the Headline
Redfin's Kessler Park market page reports a median sale price of $1.48 million for the three months ending July 2026, up 20.8 percent year over year, with a median of $480 per square foot, up 15.0 percent. Redfin also shows a sale-to-list ratio about 1.7 percent under list price.
Read those figures carefully. Redfin counted a single home sold in that window, so the median is simply the price of one house. A 20.8 percent increase from one sale to another is a statement about which house closed, not about the neighborhood. Redfin's summary also mentions a $1,725,000 closing in May 2026 after 35 days on market, which gives a second data point at a similar level, but two sales over five months is still a very small sample.
Thinking about selling in Kessler Park? A median built on one sale will not price your home.

The spread between the sold house and the two listed houses is wide, and a few things plausibly explain it: lot and view, level of renovation, and the era of construction. Redfin describes the Knott Place listings as including a 1959 ranch with a Roman brick facade and terraced pool area and a house with downtown skyline views. Asking prices can and do move before closing, so the listed figures are a reference point for what sellers are testing, not for what buyers will pay.

How to Read a Very Small Neighborhood
When a neighborhood records only a handful of sales a year, a few habits protect you from bad numbers:
- Look at the individual closed sales, not the median. With one or two sales, the median is just a price.
- Widen the comparison set thoughtfully. Redfin's own page lists nearby areas, and the Dallas Central Appraisal District shows lot size, improvements, and assessed value for any specific address.
- Match like with like on lot, view, and construction era, since a hillside lot and a flat lot on the same street can sit far apart.
- Compare against the surrounding area, starting with our Dallas search page, and see how a neighboring market reads in our Greenway Parks guide and our East Dallas guide.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the median home price in Kessler Park, Dallas?
Redfin reported a median sale price of $1.48 million for the three months ending July 2026, but that figure rests on a single closed sale. Individual closed comparables are a more reliable guide than the median.
What did the Lausanne Avenue house sell for?
Redfin's recently sold record shows 1126 Lausanne Avenue, a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath house of 3,067 square feet, closing on July 24, 2026 at $1,500,000, about $489 per square foot.
Where are the boundaries of Kessler Park?
Wikipedia describes Kessler Park as bounded by Highway 30 on the north, Colorado Boulevard on the south, Beckley Avenue on the east, and Stevens Park Golf Course on the west. Several neighboring areas carry the Kessler name, so confirm how a particular listing describes its location.
Why is the data for Kessler Park so thin?
Few homes change hands in a small, established neighborhood in any given quarter. When only one or two sales close, percentage changes and medians swing widely, which is why appraisal records and nearby comparable sales matter.
Who is the best real estate agent to work with in Kessler Park?
In a neighborhood with this few sales, the most useful agent is one who has closed transactions across Dallas and Oak Cliff and can build a comparison from adjacent areas rather than leaning on a median. Ask any agent you interview to show you the closed sales behind their pricing opinion.
