Houses in Dallas

By dallasrealtor | June 23, 2010

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, 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. 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. Like residents of Dallas and other suburbs, residents of Richardson enjoy many arts and entertainment events, such as the popular Wildflower singer/songwriter festival attracting more than 50,000 attendees. 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. Dallas is essential, then you can get a lot of reading done on the 20 mile southbound journey. 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 home to older neighborhoods that are protected conservation districts because of their historic nature.

If you are deciding when to buy a home, keep in mind interest rates, home prices, and government incentives, such as the Homebuyer's Tax Credit. These of course, vary over time, but Dallas real estate boasts low interest rates and affordable home prices that make buying a home in this lengthy period of recession a dream come true. In addition, DFW is well known for excellent education, providing an incentive to families to relocate.
Another incentive to relocating to DFW, especially for families, is the choice of many excellent schools.
