Would you like to live in one of the best cities in America?
Out of 100 ranked cities in Money Magazine's top 100 places to living in America, Frisco came in at 38, Richardson at 18, and Carrolton at 15. 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.
But even time-honored cities like Richardson have seen steady growth over the past few years. More people have found this city to be a great place to raise a family and young professionals like staying relatively close to the heart of Dallas, while enjoying a larger home with a more suburban feel.
Families and young professionals enjoy living in a Richardson's larger-sized homes and making the more-than-tolerable commute to Dallas just 12 miles south on Highway 75.
Richardson residents also enjoy events in the arts and entertainment, such as the singer-songwriter gala known as Wildflower. 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.
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. Dallas is essential, then you can get a lot of reading done on the 20 mile southbound journey. Other cities have easy access to the Dallas North Tollway, which reaches 36 miles north of Dallas offering residents of Frisco and other cities en route a connection to the hub of DFW.
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.
