Question by haldo13: Where should I move to in the north suburbs of Dallas/Ft. Worth?
I am a teacher in Chicago and looking to move to teach in Dallas. The reason for this is because my girl friend (teacher) and I are looking to buy a house and the housing market is very affordable in the Dallas area. We are also considering the Austin, TX area….. any help on community would be great. We are both in our early to mid 20s and want to be in a safe community where we can settle down, but people are always out around the community. We do not have kids, but being around them is not a bother to us at all. The more involved a community the better……..close to shopping and entertainment is also a big plus…. thanks for all the help you can give!

If you want to be far north, look at Frisco. This is a new community with great shopping, professional soccer and Minor League Baseball parks, excellent parks and good restaurants. Schools are excellent. In town traffic is a bit messy right now but they are working on that.
Only down side is that much of the property is brand new, so you would continually be fighting the “new construction” price pressures if you went to sell anytime soon.
You will not find a community environment like you have in Chicago where people actually go out onto the streets. Athletics and shopping are about it here.
Sorry not familiar with Ft. Worth.
