Not all sale weekends are equal. Here's where shoppers around Dallas-Fort Worth tend to find the most (and best) sales, and what each area is known for. This is based on the listings we map every week. Every sale is different, so check the details before you drive.
Lakewood, M Streets and Lake Highlands (Dallas)
Older Dallas neighborhoods mean vintage furniture, art and collectibles. Estate sales here draw serious early lines.
Preston Hollow, Highland Park and North Dallas
High-end estate and pre-demolition sales: designer furniture, lighting and fixtures. Expect Friday crowds and Sunday markdowns.
Arlington and Mansfield
Big family subdivisions hold neighborhood-wide garage sales; great for kids' gear, tools and furniture.
Plano, Frisco, Allen and McKinney
Newer homes and frequent corporate relocations mean lightly used furniture, decor and electronics.
TCU, Tanglewood and the West Side (Fort Worth)
Classic Fort Worth homes with antiques, western decor and mid-century finds at estate sales.
Weatherford, Aledo and Parker County
Acreage sales with tools, farm and ranch gear, trailers and vintage country decor.
