I'm surprised there was a lack of NE Tarrant County municipalities. Yes, you did mention FW but folks there are trying to get here. I may be biased in terms of Keller due to my residency however I don't see how a Metroplex list doesn't include Southlake, Grapevine, Roanoke, North Lake, Trophy Club, Argyle, Justin or Saginaw. The whole Alliance corridor is the growth center of DFW
we live in south Fl , Fl has changed so much !! Cost of living very high , traffic is horrible , we have the worst drivers here , very rude people , costumer service does not exist at all, you better speak Spanish 😅😅 the only think we love is the beach !! But we are relocating to Texas , as a travel nurse I really liked Texas DFW love it !! so much culture there , miami is very expensive , I rather come often and settle in another state , and salaries !! Very low no jobs is crazy here

@@livinginfortworth Lol….?……not really, it is actually sad……schools, roads, electrical grid….the current Texas legislators are destroying Texas…Realtors should warn perspective buyers that property taxes will only increase in the foreseeable future…yes, there are jobs, but companies moving to Texas get HUGE tax abatements, and taxpayers ultimately pay the price. I have lived in Texas and other states with no state income tax, Texas , by far, has the highest tax…..again, totally unfair property tax system 👎
The list is biased towards North Dallas communities. To be sure there are nice cities there. But affordability, generous park space and chronic traffic congestion are issues new homebuyers would also take into account. If they were taken into account Mansfield and Cedar Hill would have made the list. They are scenic communities which are more affordable. Of course the realtors who made this video want homebuyers to chose the most priciest areas because that means bigger commissions.
Appreciate you taking the time to comment. Since we only covered the top 10 North Texas cities, here’s a link to the entire list of 300 cities included in the analysis wallethub.com/edu/best-real-estate-markets/14889
I just comment same thing lol.. what about Desoto that's 56% black owned (first since black wall street tulsa), Duncanville.. also very diverse & safe with 2nd biggest school in the nation that wins state every year.. Arlington etc.. it did seem bias but she's older & the older people of dallas look at migrating north like a upgrade.
Woohoo go Carrollton! Love seeing my city here. My favorite thing about where I live is how easy it is to go to literally any store i need. The grid like major streets in Carrollton and surrounding areas make it easy to go anywhere. And the central location makes it easy to jump on a highway and go all over DFW
I live in Frisco. Can't wait to leave in 5 months. While the video shows what is available, it is the drivers that make it god awful. I have seen dog poop smarter than 99% of the drivers here. It is incredibly stressful to drive anywhere in this town.
If you follow this advice you'll be paying $800,000 in tollway fees just to get to the grocery store. Property taxes are very expensive in Texas budget at least $1,000 a month added to your house note for escrow.
Nice informative video, we are visiting Dallas this week to explore the major cities in Fort Worth and Dallas, and see how the life is there as we are coming from Southern California. What services do you offer?
I grew up in Dallas...In the Casa View area of the city...At 5:43 ...I don't think that people in Fort worth would like to be on this list...there has been a rivalry between Dallas and Fort Worth since the beginning...To say that Fort Worth is on this list is the same as calling them a suburb of Dallas...they don't like that!!!!
The wife and I live in Irving. You don’t want to move here. Definitely not. The property taxes, yeah, and the traffic, and, um, other bad things. Definitely don’t move here. Austin, that’s your spot.
I wish I could move away from North Dallas area and out of Texas. I miss living in San Francisco Bay Area in Summer 2019 when I did my internship. The scenery there was beautiful. Pixar was also the most amazing place I had ever experienced. I am working remotely right now at a game company and building up what I can. I would never recommend anyone move to Texas. People are moving here for housing and "cost of living." It is not worth it.
You're absolutely right. You should go back home and then tell your friends so they don't get caught in the trap too. Also if you could bring the rest of California with you that would be phenomenal.
Oak Cliffian here. I'll give you secret Jewel of the city. Cuz Grand Prairie is the only Southern sector city you named. Look up Lakeridge in Cedarhill. Lakeridge had the best model houses in the metro. All the houses are different & Huge. Dion Sanders, Mr. Brown from Tyler Perry movies etc.. all lived there before. It's super safe & diverse. Diversity & Safety are the important to the new home buyers. It kind of look like the Hollywood hills cuz they have houses on hills & has the HIGHEST elevated Mansion in Texas. School is also great there. Nobody ever talks about it like it's a kept secret or something. You should check that out!
How is Desoto in Dallas,Texas ? Im a 29 year old single mom with a 2 year old and was looking in desoto,Texas . ill be moving from Atlanta,Ga so i want to find a safe community with around other successful Blacks
Nice content and very informatic. Between all the cities you provided, which one of them has more employments opportunities, better weathers, easy parking, and affordable housing? I'm someone who enjoy the snow as much as the rent. But also, would love to live in a city that are surrounded by stores, shopping, etc. Do you also help finding apartments?
Good video but not entirely accurate. A lot of these images are outdated. Example: Richardson's "Telecom Corridor" is no longer a tech hub. State Farm's offices relocated 5 minutes north. There's at least 5 new apartment complexes west and southeast of Galatyn Station, and north of Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Ive worked in construction for about 10 years pouring concrete. We've poured in all these cities, and can safely say that they are still growing. Homes in Grand Prairie sell out very quickly. Like my home , Saw the house and offer immediately a price. Its the best !
I have been to all these cities...Irving is definitely one of the better ones, but I think that Mesquite and Richardson, plus the Park cities (University Park and Highland Park), should have been on this list...and you didn't mention Arlington? It's a good city!!!
These are not thw best cities, Keller, North Richland Hills, Hurst are all way better and safer and dont have tolls everywhere that you have to pay juat to get home as well as better school districts!
I only say because when ive asked law inforcment where they would want to live this is what over 5 officers with families told me. Its because of the taxes, schools and way of life. I bought a home in NRH and now understand and i believe because there are crazy amounts of law inforcment livimg in this area, as well as Blue Ribbon award winning School districts and decent property taxes concidering all the perks of being central to everywhere and 15 minutes away from DFW Airport. And did i say no tolls and not so far away as Denton. There are still plenty of better cities inside the metro plex
I really need help im moving from Mississippi to Texas I know i wanna be in the dallas area but i want a place to build a home on not to far from the city but just without the noise, good schools, no flooding. Can someone help please so I can check it out

People who live in Dallas have a 50/50 chance of having to commute north to their jobs. An example is Jerry Jones, he lives in north Dallas and is constantly going to his headquarters in Frisco.
@@user-hk1je7zz4m I'm a TI guy so when counting jobs, I guess I'm counting the facility that's on the south side of Richardson that's technically in Dallas. When I go to the house down in Henderson County on Friday afternoon's, it sure seems like the traffic is heavier going south than what I see in the north bound lanes.
@@user-hk1je7zz4m Run an experiment. Drive from Midpark and Central to Northpark and Central during afternoon rush hour. On another work day, reverse it. I'd bet that the south drive time is longer. I'll stand by my claim that it has flipped over the last few decades and Richardson is now ground zero more than Dallas when it comes where people in that area commute to.

Fort Worth is not Dallas. Mansfield, Rockwall, Cedar Hill is definitely missing from the list.

Naw. North Dallas is just more developed.
I live in DFW, this list is correct. North Dallas is just better and safer mostly everywhere
Grand Prairie isn’t in North Dallas and I would consider it affordable and the schools are great.
