A New Home for Bush

George W. Bush has found a new dig for his post-Presidential years. Nope, he is not headed back to his Crawford Ranch. He purchased a 2.07 million dollar estate in the Preston Hollow district of Dallas, TX. You can see the home here. It is a palatial home (10141 Daria Place, Dallas TX) with 8,501 square feet of living space and site on 1.13 acres.

Apparently, the Preston Hollow Elementary School was accused of being in violation of Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision that set forth desegregation in U.S. schools…in 2006 [source]. Of course, the district is one of the most exclusive in Texas and is home to several other celebrities like Presidential candidate Ross Perot and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban among other energy and sports magnates.
