The Jonas Brothers are reported to have bought a house in a Dallas-Fort Worth suburb -- and some young neighbours sound thrilled.

Tarrant County records indicate the three band members granted power of attorney to their mother, Denise Jonas, to buy a $2.8 million, six-bedroom house in Vaquero, a gated community in the suburb of Westlake.

A real estate agent confirmed the house's sale.

"Yeah, I heard they are moving into the area!" nine-year-old Emily Clark said with wide eyes as she jumped out of the pool at Westlake's Solana Club.

The exclusive neighbourhood already includes major leaguer Mark Teixeira, former star quarterbacks Drew Bledsoe and Terry Bradshaw, not to mention several pro golfers.

Pro golfer Brian Watts discovered he might have new neighbours when he returned from Japan.

"I didn't even know who the Jonas Brothers were or what kind of music they played," Watts said. "But my wife and kids were enthralled."'

The eldest brother, 20-year-old Kevin, was born in Dallas but grew up in New Jersey with brothers Joe, 18, and Nick, 15.

They live in Los Angeles County now.
