The spiders are the big thing for me. I like the idea of having outdoor living spaces and I see people with these couches outside. What keeps me away from that is the fear of sitting down and spiders in the cushions. It’s never happened, but it’s a fear. I typically have stools or chairs that are easy to inspect for critters before sitting down and I limit being out there at night because that’s when they like to come out. We also have an exterminator come out every quarter.
I want to point out that this is a really great cons list of DFW! You guys also did a great job of explaining things. Some people online and certain forums way over exaggerate things. I’m not originally from here, it been here for 13 years. If you watch this video and nothing really scares you or turn you off, it’s a really great place to live! For both fun and raising a family! Centrally located so most places are a short flight away!
Been in south west DFW area for over a year. Traffic... Not an issue. Compared to LA where a 24 mile trip to LAX took one to one and a half hour during non-rush hour, here from Mansfield 24.5 miles away is 30 to 45 minutes so far going at similar times to my LA trips. Drivers do odd things compared to other places in the US I have lived. Cicadas MAN those things freak me out! People just great! Food not so much unless you want to spend a bit more than west coast generally. Weather is rough for us but I love the thunder and so I get a TON of that! My wife hides when one of these crazy fronts moves through. Hail big enough to leave a bunch of cars near me with divots like golf ball sized with dozens of dents per car and many car windows broken.
Glad you liked it! We've featured these areas multiple times on this channel, so feel free to browse our videos. If you're still open to some choices, shoot me a text or call. 214-441-6684.
@LIVINGINDALLAS No but they can crawl on the ceilings and drop into your bed while your sleeping. Regular pest control cannot kill them and they can sneak in through the cracks of your closed windows! ;)
Local here. Never been affected by a tornado. Just affected by the inflated housing prices. Was priced out in 2020 and prices just keep going up. Please stop moving here. lol
