Texas is home to several cities rates the best places to live in America.

In addition to some of the best places to live in the USA, Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) boasts new developments in Plano and Frisco as well as well-established settlements in Carrolton, Richardson, and Addison, among others. In addition, the Dallas/Fortworth (DFW) area offers an incredible variety of communities in which to live, from newer neighborhoods (Plano, Frisco, Allen) to older, more established neighborhoods (Addison, Carrollton, Richardson) some of which were founded in the 19th Century.

Yet, Richardson, like its many counterparts, has experienced a steady growth of residents who are taking advantage of the family-oriented living. Located just twelve miles up US-75, Richardson is home to young families and young professionals who like the easy commute into Dallas and enjoy the benefits of larger homes within a suburban community. Like many great Dallas suburbs, Richardson puts on events to tie the community together, including the yearly singer/songwriter festival, Wildflower, which boasts over 50,000 attendees. With home prices in Richardson averaging under 200,000 and with its affordable rentals, this suburb offers an attractive entry into the community of greater Dallas.

Not all cities have highways running through them as Richardson does, but 13 cities can boast that the Dallas' super-speedy Dart Rail System stops in their town. For example, the affluent Plano is 20 miles north of Dallas, hosts many corporate headquarters so commuting is not a problem for many residents, but when travel to Dallas is needed, the Dart is their to provide it. Other cities, like Frisco, do not boast Dart access, but the well-to-do and fast-growing Frisco is located off of the Dallas North Tollway offering a viable means of getting to Dallas (some 30 miles south) if necessary.

Texas is also home to older neighborhoods that are protected conservation districts because of their historic nature.

When determining a good time to buy a home, consider mortgage interest rate levels, home price levels, and government incentives such as Homebuyer's Tax Credit. All of these economic factors vary with time, but Dallas has stayed strong, attracting steady growth because of its affordable pricing and low interest rates throughout the area. In addition to a healthy local economy, DFW boasts a great school system and smaller number of risky mortgages making it one of the strongest real estate markets in the country.
