Thread: Where to Live?? need your suggestions

look into the suburbs of dallas. (commonly called DFW)

close to dallas, for all the culture and clubbing stuff, close to the country for a more relaxed pace of life. winters are very, VERY mild. my winter clothing consists of a hoodie. not nearly as humid as austin. i live in such a suburb, mostly a farming community, yet i'm only 30-45 minutes away from the north edge of downtown where i work. excellent public transit will get you anywhere you need. hurricanes are completely unheard of, although we do occasionally get hail. depending on how much money is in the particular suburb, crime can be practically nonexistant. the further west you go (towards ft. worth) the nicer people get, generally speaking. excellent symphony, football, baseball, hockey and soccer to be had at the professional level. downtown has every sort of restaraunt imaginable. commercially, the metroplex is growing at a record rate. current population around 6 million and change, growing fast, in a circle 100 miles wide. population density at the edges is extremely low, bordering on rural. different school districts are of differing quality, again follow the money. richer suburbs have schools that rank within top 100 in the nation.

cost of living is much much lower than other big cities with lots of tech like silicon valley (we are the silicon prarie) or anywhere in new england.
