I liked Dallas quite a bit- very diverse city and we paid under $700 for a 2 bedroom apt. in Richardson North Dalls area. I found it very clean and groceries, gas were a lot cheaper then many places. just last year I got a half gallon of milk for a dollar, I come back to Kansas City and its twice that. People are nice and friendly, the city is spread out, I got lost more than a few times, but it has totally awesome shopping and some really great neighborhoods.

I liein the M streets neighorhod. A well established neighborhood and here the house are older but well kept, but in the mix of these really nice homes are the ones you wish were not there but are Mckinney is great, but it is not an estabished older nighborhood. It is all newer development over the past 10-12 yrs
Lower parts of even Former President Bush has some not so great looking homes in his neighborhood. Every major city will have the “run down areas” but do not be fooled more an more “drug dealers” are moving into the “nicer neighborhoods” just like yours, And no one is the wiser.

I currently live in Dallas Tx moved here from Ft Laudedale FLA a little over a year ago. I have lived in Louisville KY both carolina’s, Virginia and grew up in Erie PA.
I have to say that Texas is rather on the inexpensiveside to live. Fort Worth is a little cheaper for rent and home prices.
I currenly am renting a 900sqft 1br/1bth with a quaint coutyard and very close to food shopping, malls,al kinds of resturants, SMU and TXU and the great commuter trains can tae you just about everywhere. I work for a large Mortgage Company and the amountof home you get for the smaller prices are amazing. Jbs are sustainable and the schools are great. You get the big city and the ‘burbs’ all wrapped into one. I am a mover. I like to move every 2-4 years. I have to say I may stay a few more years here. I really feel at home here.
