Your choice dependents on what criterion are at the top of your list as necessary, and the type of area you would like for your residence. Dalllas, TX is one of the most popular places in Texas to live, and two of them in particular would be great choices. Both offer high-level housing, a quality educational system, a safe environment.

Families with small children, as well as business travelers, will find both of these cities to be quite desirable, and those looking for nightlife will have a lot from which to choose. While there are very many nice cities in Texas, Plano stands out as a northeat suburb of Dallas as a city with about as many amenities as you will find anywhere. It is within a short driving distance of Dallas, and the roads there are well planned and maintained, making this a very trendy place to live.
