Would you like to live in or near one of the best cities in America?
Money Magazine's list of best places to live in the nation rated Carrolton number 15, Richardson number 18, and Frisco 38. 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.
However, many of these established communities have also experienced a spurt of growth in this last decade due to its many attractive features. 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. Residents don't have to drive far for entertainment because Richardson is home to many community events, including the famous Wildflower singer/songwriter festival. Homeowners who need to downsize or relocate, choose Richardson and similar neighborhoods because of its affordable housing and easy commute, among other attractive qualities.
Some cities are not so lucky to have a highway going through it like Richardson has, but they are lucky to have Dallas' light rail system—Dart. One of these is the affluent community of Plano, where many corporations make their headquarters and where Dart transports residents on a 20 mile stress-free commute southbound to downtown Dallas. On the other hand, the fast-growing and also affluent suburb of Frisco is located off of the Dallas North Tollway 30 miles north of Dallas, which might make a carpool arrangement pleasurable.
Texas is also a collection of established neighborhoods of older homes with wide streets and mature trees lining several Historic, Conservation Districts protecting the many old homes and history of the Dallas vicinity.
Think about the many market forces at play when deciding the right time to buy a house, such as interest rates, government incentives, and purchase prices. 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.
