Balch Springs sales grouped by the elementary school a home is zoned to, which is the boundary most families actually shop against. These zones cover 76% of everything that sold here. Only zones with at least a dozen sales are shown, so every figure rests on real volume. The price column follows the Median/Average switch at the top of the page.
