The 10 BEST Places to Live in Dallas, Texas 

Thanks for doing this. I have lived in Plano Texas for one year, but even I am overwhelmed by all the information. lol. I'm going to have to watch this over again.

I live in Eldorado. You are really good

Nice overview of best things to do in Dallas. DFW airport is one of the best in the country.

George W. Bush doesn't live in the Park Cities, which are actually two separate cities. He's in Preston Hollow, which is a neighborhood of Dallas. Both are highly affluent, high-dollar places to live. Perhaps the best way to differential them is to call the Park Cities "old money" while the Preston Hollow could be called "new money." Preston Hollow also has a fairly large Jewish population. The grocery store in that neighborhood is the only one I've ever seen with a completely separate kosher deli!

As a native 68 year Dallasite, I remember why so much of the population gravitated to North & East of Dallas as exclusively featured throughout this video. However, that is for another video. Please consider including other outstanding neighborhoods south of Dallas proper each well within a short drive to downtown, i.e. Arlington, Mansfield, Desoto, Duncanville, Cedar Hill (Lake Ridge)

Great vid I'm thinking about buying soon but don't want to give up the convenience of NW Dallas. Love your hair too by the way.

Thank you for video .

I’m so glad I found this video!! Great information I have been thinking about moving to Texas thanks for helping me out without knowing it!! New subscriber here 😁😊

This is a great video! Despite having lived in Dallas for 7 years, I learnt a lot from it!

Accurate information about the communities. If you are from out of state and considering Dallas, don't get the mistaken impression that all commutes lead to downtown Dallas. Most new job growth is to the north and northwest. There are some exceptions such as the new Uber headquarters downtown but overall, most new jobs aren't close to Forney. Expect a longer commute than going to downtown Dallas. I'd love to afford the Park Cities area but the commute to my job north of LBJ freeway would be a little rough.

I lived in 3 different parts of Dallas and my favorite was Irving.

Park cities average price is not $500K. More like $1M. The land alone for a 1/3 acre is probably $500K. I am not sure where you got your figure from but it is not correct.

Excellent review!! Most helpful of all Realtor reviews in Dallas! Thank you!

Real estate has gone up 14% in the DFW area since 1-21 Many of these communities aren't considered part of the Dallas area, they are too far away. Her commutes are all off. Doube & triple them. +good luck finding a garage apartment in Geo Bush's neighborhood for $500k. lol

I moved to Seagoville. No traffic or people plus close to the city.

Love your attitude and work!! I was wondering on moving to Dallas from Garland, got a quote from Garland Movers, are they any good?

I lived in the Dallas area for ten years. No one goes to downtown Dallas unless you are going to a Mavericks game or you have a court date. So it is not a relevant point geographically. DFW is multiple centers of different towns. You don't need to be near downtown Dallas.

Park Cities - Over 1 million+ is more the norm - not sure where these are coming from!

Definitely need a recommendation for areas where the fiture prospects for it will grow as we are moving from California

If you move from CA remember why you left

Thanks, this is helpful! I'm a native Californian looking to leave Los Angeles for many reasons. For example, the cost of living is already super high, yet every year it seems cost of living increases even more in California. Ridiculous increases in state income taxes and other taxes. Regulations in California have likewise become ridiculous - just ask a small business how many state agencies they have to satisfy in order to get one simple thing approved to run their business. Public utility companies like Southern California Edison are a monopoly so you must get electricity from them and there's no other choice, which may also be why electricity in LA is 18-35 cents per kilowatt, whereas it's about 5-10 cents per kilowatt in Dallas on average. Gas is $3-$4 per gallon in California. The politics in California have become far too radicalized. Politically speaking, California is in effect a one party state with the Democrats deciding what's best for everyone in the state. Public education in California is badly managed. There's a homeless epidemic with literal mini tent cities all over LA even in once nicer parts of LA. Sadly homelessness often goes hand in hand with mental health issues as well as substance abuse. But our political leaders (predominantly Democratic) who have governed LA and other cities in California as well as the state government for decades seem at best to pay mere lip service to legitimate concerns average Californians have over homelessness and many other issues instead of taking active steps to help the homeless and others. There are public health issues associated with homelessness too (e.g. hygiene with people literally pooing and peeing in the streets, the transmission of infectious disease, let alone this is occurring in the midst of our SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 pandemic). Crime seems to be worse in many areas, and anecdotally crime seems far worse from what I remember as a kid too - and I'm not even that old, just in my 30s. Many of my friends and family have already left California and some have gone to Texas, which leaves me less reason to stay in California. I'm sure there many other good reasons to leave California, but even these reasons just off the top of my head are already sufficient enough justification to at least consider leaving California. I hope to work as a physician in Texas someday. Dallas sounds awesome. Based on your video I think I'd like north Dallas (e.g. Plano, McKinney) or the Park Cities near downtown. I'd love to work in an academic medical center like UTSW which is, indeed, as you point out in your video, an excellent hospital and huge medical center. It has a solid reputation in medicine. I'd say for internal medicine and many of its subspecialties UTSW is arguably on par with or close enough to prestigious places like the Mayo Clinic, Duke, Vanderbilt, Emory, UCSD, though perhaps only a notch or two below MGH, Hopkins, UCSF, maybe Stanford and UCLA too. All that said, my primary concern is finding a good conservative evangelical church in the area that takes the Bible seriously, worships God supremely, and loves its neighbors faithfully.

I would like to know about condo in Carrollton

Nice but not for retirement I can’t afford..

I’m thinking of moving to an apartment in Dallas, it really helps to know what areas are good or not especially if you’re moving from another state.

Great video! Could you recommend area good to raise kids and have empty lot to build own home?

Any thoughts on Desoto?

All those places are too faraway from downtown Dallas,30 to 50 minute drive is ridiculpus. Forney would be my pick.

I like the info you presented here,I'm learning more about Dallas with every vid I watch. One suggestion: I would suggest hiring a professional to edit your vids. You need someone who knows about pacing. There were really distracting moments flashing between images and edits. Cheers

Very nice introduction of Dallas. Which area has tornadoes that must be avoided? Nice place to live. Thanks

I need a builder! I want to build my own fourplex

I would like to move to Garland, any input?

Trying to leave Miami to Dallas. What is the best family neighborhood with good schools and not to remote. Thanks

I don’t think you mentioned Garland. Is that a nice area? I saw online they have a nice library system. Would you have more information about Garland?

Mckinney is nice :) I live in Fort Worth..

Hi I am planning to move to Calallen Corpus Christi, any advice and what do you think about the cost of living? I currently work a education program.

Hi Rebecca

Anything south of Dallas?

I am seeking an apartment in a very good neighborhood that is close to Dallas Forth Worth Airport. I was told to look North of DFW airport. I am moving from another State. I want to rent an apartment for a year. Any suggestions for a good area with nice rental apartments?

What about seagoville and combine tx

In your opinion heartland or providence village/ princeton

Avoid Dallas....avoid Texas.....Outrageous Property Taxes......

Lol, imagine paying 587k in texas..
