Walsh vs Parks of Aledo

The built ecosystem vs the built trail: two different theories of what an amenity is.

The verdict, up front

Walsh's amenity is a programmed campus; Parks of Aledo's is six miles of WMBA-maintained greenbelt singletrack that draws runners and riders from outside the neighborhood. Walsh owns the west-FW-edge commute and the everything-inside-the-plan life; Parks of Aledo owns in-town Aledo, the lower tax stack, and an amenity with its own constituency that no builder marketing cycle can devalue. Trail families genuinely shouldn't buy Walsh; ecosystem families genuinely shouldn't buy Parks of Aledo.
