The mansions themselves are sights to behold. In the vicinity of Armstrong Parkway and Preston Road, sprawling homes stand majestically on endless lawns (there’s also a particularly awesome big pecan tree there that’s covered in lights). Expect them to be glittering for the holidays with classic light decorations.
