Hi! I just posted a new video where I take you with me downtown so that you can formulate your own opinion of downtown Dallas. You can watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/p6xi1gswmEA/v-deo.html
When I first moved to Dallas I noticed immediately that you had to be DRESSED when you went out, even for dinner, but I actually loved it. When I moved back home I was always overdressed for a little bit lol.
I feel like it’s the exact opposite I moved from Vegas where ppl always dressed up and I noticed everyone is dressed down here even at dinner and clubs
@@MsCandyCane08 coming from London and living on East Coast the men overall do not dress very well. Sportswear no matter the cost it is still sportswear and not a proper look.
@@MsCandyCane08hey girl, I would love to hear your thoughts of the big differences you noticed between Vegas and Dallas? I would be moving from Vegas so definitely curious to hear about it
If you are black and moving to Dallas and want to live around people who look like you check out southern Dallas. There are three majority black suburbs there. Lancaster, Desoto and Cedar Hill TX. Multi million dollar communities and nice regular suburban communities.
@@trajandeathimus2165 man white have taking everything from us and they own everything in this country for me to want my people to have their own space should not be an issue. These are the Dynamics that white people created with the racism if it wasn't for that there will be no need for these kind of spaces
@@trajandeathimus2165 Here y'all go; the reason they posted was because not all spaces and environments make black people feel safe. So if there are people who want to relocate but want to feel safer around their skinfolk because they may have had issues in the past, where is the issue? I have lived in a white suburb twice and it is very easy to feel ostrasized by your neighbors because they feel like you do not belong there. This comment was not made to be weird towards white people but it was for the black people with reservations possibly and just because we have to be safe.

6:00 Dallas native checking in. Very good, and very fair video. Just as an FYI......in terms of you being shocked that Dallas has wealthy areas........Dallas has way more money than Philadelphia.....and that was told to me by a Philly transplant that moved here 10 years ago.

@@slickwilly6868 San Antonio is very slow moving, but I thinkbthey're trying to build it up, just not at the speed of the Big 3. Austin is very hipster and known for it's college culture, indie music scene, a BIT of hiking, and it's closeness to the Texas wine country.
Thank you for this. I'm a 25yr old black woman. I was looking in uptown rather than deep ellum. I'm not into bars, the club scene, and I heard it was great for young professionals that like quiet spaces, greenery like parks, and walkability.

I think you'll really enjoy Uptown. Lots to do and I'd say a lot more polished than deep ellum. Though I'd check out deep ellum regardless, plenty to do and see during the day if you're not into the night life. The dating scene is still the same for me a couple months later but hope that it works for you :) safe move and good luck!

I subscribed off of this one video because of how honest I seen you were. I watched this just to get some info about Dallas. It usually takes a couple to a few videos before I subscribe. Your a great UA-camr, very truthful, organized, and straight to the point!!!
Texas was a part of Mexico and that wasn’t too long ago in terms of history, so it makes sense that they’re culture would have a strong presence there.
This is true but Dallas was a traditional black and white city from its foundations. It had slaves. This Mexican presence just came in the last 30 years with Mexicans Running across the border in record numbers. And also coming here , having five and six babies apiece. Dallas roots are purely southern
@shortyshorty2135 do your history. My family have been in Dallas for generations. And I know what I saw growing up till now. Black and whites were the majority in Dallas. I would even argue there were more blacks than anybody. There were some Mexicans. In Dallas right now as we speak the majority of Mexicans there are illegals that can't barely speak English or don't speak at all. White people and black slaves founded and built Dallas. These are facts. And you know why people don't like nobody but they're kind so they were not letting Mexicans live in Dallas. Most of Texas was uninhabited land in Texas did not just belong to Mexico it has belonged to six different countries which is where you get Six Flags from most of the people that established Texas came from the Deep South which is why we speak Southern here and the natives are Southerners. As I stated before Dallas's huge Mexican population has only come here in the last 20 to 25 years when I was growing up I saw almost nothing but black people and a few Mexicans even the schools were like this go back and study your history
2023 and I’m moving to Dallas. I work in tech and it’s a pull. I been in Dallas and Garland and when I was there for just a few days I felt like I would thrive and prosper there and raise my family. So I’m going to see what’s up.
Nice video! DFW is so big in one year, you may think you have seen a lot, but probably not. There is so much to that big place metroplex. Many cities to discover, Plano, Frisco, Grapevine, Southlake, Westlake, Hyland Park, University Park, Heath, Preston Hollow, McKinney, El dorado, Fairview, Keller, Rockwall, Rowlett, Prosper, Addison, Richardson, Carrollton, Fort Worth, Denton, Lewisville, Arlington etc. Once you get to know the place, you might end up liking it more
@@Jeschitown Let us give give the young lady a break, she is just learning more and more about this big, fat, popular metropolitan area. She could have moved to Chicago, but Chitown wouldn't be good for her mental health (too cold, too depressing and unsafe LOL)
@@mcnits I was just there in October again I'm not impressed to be honest, had fun at the game thou. Dfw is big to people who don't know any better or if you from a small town or city. Anyone from NYC, los Angeles, Chicago know otherwise lmao I love this time of year nothing like the holiday season in the great city of Chicago.
This video was super helpful! I was debating back and forth between Houston and Dallas and I think this video covered alot of questions I had that I just couldn't seem to find else where so thank you!
Dallas and Texas is more laid back and not hustle and bustle. Plano and Frisco are cities where you have shopping and bars close to each other but not walking distance. People here like to get out and move around and don’t care that things aren’t very close to each other……also most people don’t want night life where they live. If you want nature then parks and lakes are your only option. I’m surprised you were surprised of super wealth neighborhoods considering the GDP of the Dallas area and Texas which are very high. Try to meet people in a different area because it does make a difference. You forgot one big advantage about living in Dallas and Texas…..no state tax.
It's kinda like you have to be accepted in the culture. Most people come here & notice it's a beautiful place but the people are segregated.. so you enjoy the city but not so much the people. Once you're accepted it'll get waaay better. We have places all over full of majority black people living rich but not uppity attitude. People just keep quiet about the places so they won't get crowded with outside opinions & trends. You'll see.
I move to Dallas from California two and half years ago and I love it!! I would say you have to get out alittle more and keep exploring there's so much to do out here in dallas and TX I'll say couple things I consider before moving out here 1> Austin has a lot homeless people and not as many black people as Houston or Dallas 2> The only thing about Houston that worries me is when hurricanes season rolls around and can hit the city and flood it🤔 3> Dallas is growing very fast and there's a lot cool nee spots popping up town town every day!! But the overall vibe is very cool and nice out here!! Looking to buy home by end next year when hopefully interest rates go down and housing market cools down alittle.
Great video! People take it so personal on videos like this. Please y’all, it’s not a personal attack against you, there are critiques and positives to every city (especially to those who are born and raised you may not see it from an outside perspective)
Same here. I am from Connecticut, and moved (AZ, NC, GA) and recently moved to MD for a job from Houston and I am on the first thing smoking to get back to Texas.
I’m from ny I moved to LA/sf valley. 3 years ago beem In Dallas 9 months. The jobs here pay the same as in Cali. But rent is half the price. I have a lady but as a single black man you will have fun. More space but food isn’t to great here. And it’s a good place to invest in real estate without having to spend a fortune to get started
Commenting in 2024, I appreciate your video and how detailed you presented the information. I will have to disagree about lifestyle a bit. I am from Florida; Miami ,Florida to be exact and I lived in Dallas for four months (residency). I loved the lifestyle there. I lived off Preston & Alpha Road near the Galleria and there was plenty of outdoorsy places to go for walking, biking, and skating. Some places were only 5-10 minutes away and family oriented. There was so many other locations (to your point) that was 15-20 minutes but to me it was well worth it on days I had free time. Coming from Miami, everything (and everyone) is on top of each other so my time in Dallas was amazing. I think regardless of where you move, you have to be intentional to live your life the way you want. If you had something in one city, it won't be the exact same in the next (and that's okay). Your friends had a point about having to go out of your way. You have to be intentional otherwise you'll continue to have an unpleasant experience (and this is coming from someone who/is struggled with chronic depression and anxiety). Anyways, I figured I make a comment for any new comers, I understand that everyone is entailed to their own opinion/experience. I am planning to make my return to Dallas long term.
As a Dallas native I thought your video was full of great information especially for someone still relatively new to the city. Thanks, and keep up the great videos.
Anais, very nice video, but it will take you a long time to understand DFW. Downtown Dallas has underground tunnels with shopping malls / centers and restaurants to protect people against the heat at lunch time. Ask someone to show you the underground areas. Dallas is a business place with tons of headquarters, great suburbs where people can work. Philadelphia is more of an old, depressing place with a lot of drunks. The facts are that when the manufacturing jobs fled Philadelphia decades ago, they left behind an underclass of unemployed people. As a result, morale suffered, and many of these people turned to drugs and alcohol as coping mechanisms LOL.
Thank You for this video. I think its great due to the fact that you arent a real estate agent trying to sell the city. Your honest takes are awesome! One thing important to me are demographics which you went in depth on. Weather is another... cost, so are spots to hang out and in general what it would be like there everyday and things that affect everyday life. As im looking at Texas it has to be between dallas and houston maybe some suburb area in between where you can get the best of both worlds that would appease moving from a big city like LA.. not that it has to be here. Thanks again!
Houston big, more crowded, very humid. North more cooler . You will not see beautiful nature here, and ocean is dirty . But it’s growing really fast and good opportunity to grow and get good job or success business. And of course houses cheaper than LA, if you need realtor . I am happy to help
Actually, Dallas has the largest light rail system in the country. If you live and work along one of these train lines, you could POSSIBLY do without a car.
Currently renting a 1 bedroom in the "far north" Dallas area Carrollton/Addison. Off of Dallas North tollway. 1095 a month for the smallest unit. 4 those single with no children it's a dope deal. Also a peaceful area very quiet getaway from the new normal (all day traffic) Plenty of restaurants, shopping malls (thrift stores), all in close range. Bars, movie theaters, and diversity. Please check out this area. ✌🏾
Thank you .. coming from Philadelphia born and raised the downtown in Dallas really shocked me … I moved to Dallas without visiting first and I moved 5 min from the downtown and I was pissed to say the least 😑
How Center City Philly is set up was perfect for me!! Feel like I kind of have to go out of my way in Dallas to get just a few things done. But it definitely has its pros as well. Hope you're enjoying it besides that!
Philadelphia is basically it and that's why Downtown has much more including a high crime rate! Dallas is surrounded by many large cities is spreader out twice as large as Philadelphia and there's so much to do in each city. I'm from Houston and Love Dallas
Great recap.... Dallas has been "uppity" since forever... it's not just starting to get uppity - it's the vibe since the last century or longer. Grew up in north Texas (denton) lived there 1967-2008 - uppity is just the way it is. That's why Austin and Houston are so much better. But, nothing beats the Hudson Valley :-)
Video was very cool,I agree with everything,minus the public transportation,as someone who grew up in NY/NJ Philly transit,and have lived all over the country,Dallas has 1 of the most vast and affordable transit systems I've seen outside of my area and Chicago,they have park n rides all over the city,also ,u can buy a morning, midday,afternoon,or day pass,and ride anywhere in Dallas non stop,plus connected places with transit(Richardson,Irving,Garland )or all the way to fort Worth (TRE line) with said pass. Dallas is a hidden gem,and if pub trans is important to you,here is where you can manage.
Thank you so much! I was worried if the public trans was good in Dallas moving there April 2024. I don't like to drive all the time. I'm happy I know it's not surpar.
North Dallas is really nice if you’re looking for a town with shopping & living. Very diverse white, middle class blacks, & ofc Hispanics. I’ve lived here for 7 years coming from Denver Co. Lots of opportunities. I like Arlington too. Uptown, deep elum etc are more for the youngins that want to party. I can’t stand that the don’t have as much nature which sucks.
@@Bigpeanut5081 I like it out here… the weather is better as in not as cold, there are a lot of things to do for fun, and lots of opportunities. I overall think Denver is a better place to retire or raise a family.
I can walk to 26 restaurants and bars, 6 hotels, music factory, museum, nail shop, lash studio, tailor shop, spa, trail, lake and multiple other places and things; plus grocery and shopping is only 10-13 mins driving taking only one street. I absolutely love it, only been here for 2 months and it has been good.
Your actually the first person that I’ve heard say that Dallas is affordable, everyone that I’ve encountered only talks about how it’s way to expensive.
Any city on the east coast will ALWAYS have more walkable cities. Those cities are extremely old and were built like that. Also its extremely hot here. You're not walking in the heat during the summer up and down the street unless you're ready to pass out
Check out some of the areas mentioned . Addison, Old Downtown McKinney, Also Downtown Grapevine, Legacy West & East which is in Plano. And of course Frisco which has the Star. Downtown Dallas is getting ready for several Multi-Billion Dollar Developments including the Trinity River Project. I’ve lived in all the major cities Austin & Houston & for me Dallas is better than both. Anyway enjoy your content. THE MIND IS A BEAUTIFUL THING😁
You should get out and about a little more. It seems that you have mostly been in the center of the city. Everywhere has sidewalks, access to public transportation, dining. shopping. There are hills with nature trails, greenery, lakes, etc all over. They aren’t in Downtown, but they are all driveable.
I moved here from San Diego, and I thought that California was spread out, but omigosh, if I want to go the grocery store, it feels like such an event. There are some really charming neighborhoods here-especially if you go out to the suburbs a bit, like Flower Mound or Southlake. But still, even with the big lakes, at first it seems like no big deal to access-I’ve gone paddle boarding a few times at Lake Lewisville, BUT after seeing a lady change her toddlers diaper IN THE LAKE, I was just like… And the toll roads kind of negate the lower gas prices. I’ve been trying to find my spots and watching Dallas influencers to see where they go, but I think it’s like Hollywood-how they show you all the cute spots and make it seem like they’re located on one strip with no graffiti, etc. Before moving here, people would talk about the heat and traffic, and I was like, pffft, it gets into the three digits inland here: And then I discovered the difference is that in CA, it cools down at night. Here it’s still 103 at midnight! I feel like I can’t ever open my windows due to the heat, the mud daubers, and the random thunder storms. It makes you feel claustrophobic. I was drawn to how nice the apartments seemed, but when I got to mine-which was fairly new; it hadn’t been cleaned. The fridge was full of bugs. There are holes in the sheetrock above my kitchen cabinets. And I met my first cockroach the other day. I live across from this adorable river with restaurants and geese, but again, can’t use it. Red ants and dog poop everywhere. Restaurants keep closing. And it’s either too hot or cold to go for a walk. My asthmatic cat is miserable. And I don’t want to offend any Texans, because I love how proud they are of their home-but in short, for me, Dallas just isn’t Rachel. If you get the reference. Other people love it though-so what I’d do is like you alluded to and write out what you value most, and if Dallas doesn’t have the ocean 😅 or palm trees and hills you love, don’t do it. It’s an expensive pivot I made. Again, not trying to offend anyone. I moved here to get away from the politicians in my state who were making poor decisions, if I’m being honest, and for what I thought would equate to a nicer home for the money. But there are million+ dollar homes popping up everywhere. It’s how the economy works. But yeah, no state income tax is nice. The architecture is beautiful. Most of the people are lovely. ❤
I'm from NY and after work would run all my errands. I saved so much time and can't imagine not having that. I've also lived in other states that were flat, with no side walks and concretey. I didn't care for them very much. Thanks for such a helpful video.
It’s so interesting how you live only a few miles away from me & we have a completely different experience lol I live across the street from the AAC & I walk everywhere including work. You should definitely look into relocating to Victory Park or Uptown. You’ll be a lot less sedentary.
If you come from a major city NY, London,Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto. Dallas is no where close. It's decent but it's not a true urban vibe. It's more LA or Phoenix.
This is the most honest vid I’ve seen about Dallas. The City is beautiful, the food 👍🏾, the housing space impeccable. If your a earthy natural, hippie, down to earth person. You might feel out of place. I miss Nj Issa good mix
I am from California. I hate California politics and taxes. However, I can drive for 1-4 hours to get to the beach, the mountains, lakes, or the desert. I love hiking, and California is one of the best places for hiking in the United States. I would love to live in Texas for the politics and the taxes. But my dilemma is to do so; I have to give up all of California's great outdoor activities.
Thank you for this video. Very thorough, shit now I got a lot to think about. Especially, when it come stop having the option of to walk or drive and also getting outdoors and seeing greenery😩
Your 💯. Being able to bike and walk to places is healthy and fun! Dallas is not it. The home values are good because there is no where to go so people stay at home with ac blasting because of the heat. And paying a high power bill to keep the house warm in the winter.
Dallas used to be an engineering town back in the 1950s and 1960s. Some important inventions were invented in Richardson and Irving, and the patents created wealth and jobs. This drew in people from beautiful places where there were no jobs for them. The real solution is to create jobs in the beautiful places.
I'm from Philly, and I'm deciding between Dallas and Tampa. The only thing putting Tampa ahead of Dallas is the beach for me. Dallas seems more affordable than Tampa, so I'm stuck lol.
I have no issue walking to things and I live in the middle of downtown. The public trans is good here you can get anywhere you need to go using Public trans. I take the train all the way to my office in Richardson.
So for a single mom you would recognize the Greenville place you mentioned? I hope I’m saying it correctly. I just want to move somewhere safe with my daughter and possibly find my husband 🤣
The homelessness and crime rates out here is nowhere near the amount of what it’s like in Los Angeles California right now. LA has gotten soooooo bad and coming here it’s been a huge difference. I also find DFW has more nature than LA in Cali. Cali has nature but they’re ALWAYS building apartments businesses or expensive homes in any place there’s open land. Out here in the outskirts of Dallas, I see so many beautiful trees lakes and trails.
@@user-hk1je7zz4m yep you go to highland park you think you in a different city. but never said we wasn't; everywhere just they know what spots to keep us in compared to Houston we everywhere they can't hide from us even in Katy or spring branch lol
This was fabulous! Your wrap up was on point too. I’m really considering Dallas as well as some other places. I lived in Philly for a bit so I could totally relate to the comparative points you made. I do want to know though, did you drive from Philly to Dallas? How was the move? And you’re gorgeous BTW! OH! And do you foresee yourself staying in Dallas for a while?
13:18 absolutely this 💯 percent. DFW is built up upon every inch and they continue to pour concrete over everything at a rapid pace. Are there trees here ? Yes. There aren’t that many open forested areas. Here and there you will find parks , but they aren’t very big and not very pretty. You don’t get large swaths of uninterrupted nature. That makes me sad. All of the shopping and restaurants available doesn’t make up for the lack of open natural areas.
welcome! It was (and still is) an adjustment for me coming from Philly but depending on what you're looking for and enjoy, you may love it! Definitely no center city but..lol
If y’all are looking for some Dallas apparel, shop with elchuy! Erykah Badu wears his stuff and many other celebrities like Tayyduhh or whatever her name is!
Thanks for the info, it was very helpful. Guurrrlll… I swear you look like the girl from Station 19. I swear, you have the personality of her character… that’s so wild…and I’m talking about the mixed gurl! You could just about be her twin… lol

What did you love about it? I have to decide between Frankfurt and Dallas. Found an amazing luxury apartment in Dallas.
Dallas is not the west. Dallas is the south

I subscribed off of this one video because of how honest I seen you were. I watched this just to get some info about Dallas. It usually takes a couple to a few videos before I subscribe. Your a great UA-camr, very truthful, organized, and straight to the point!!!
Thank you so much for your feedback and for being here! I hope I helped answer some of your questions.
Born and raised in Dallas, this is a fairly accurate depiction of Dallas for sure.
Thanks for the breakdown. I’m weighing my options between Dallas and Houston.
Texas was a part of Mexico and that wasn’t too long ago in terms of history, so it makes sense that they’re culture would have a strong presence there.
Hello beautiful creature❤❤❤❤ I will love to be your friend
This is true but Dallas was a traditional black and white city from its foundations. It had slaves. This Mexican presence just came in the last 30 years with Mexicans Running across the border in record numbers. And also coming here , having five and six babies apiece. Dallas roots are purely southern
@@labaroncharles1958incorrect check the history
It wasn’t a black traditional city until they started moving here it was actually Mexicans and whites do your history
@shortyshorty2135 do your history. My family have been in Dallas for generations. And I know what I saw growing up till now. Black and whites were the majority in Dallas. I would even argue there were more blacks than anybody. There were some Mexicans. In Dallas right now as we speak the majority of Mexicans there are illegals that can't barely speak English or don't speak at all. White people and black slaves founded and built Dallas. These are facts. And you know why people don't like nobody but they're kind so they were not letting Mexicans live in Dallas. Most of Texas was uninhabited land in Texas did not just belong to Mexico it has belonged to six different countries which is where you get Six Flags from most of the people that established Texas came from the Deep South which is why we speak Southern here and the natives are Southerners. As I stated before Dallas's huge Mexican population has only come here in the last 20 to 25 years when I was growing up I saw almost nothing but black people and a few Mexicans even the schools were like this go back and study your history
I’m moving to Dallas next month. Your video is very informative so thanks for the info.
If you need help with realtor, I am happy to assist
2023 and I’m moving to Dallas. I work in tech and it’s a pull. I been in Dallas and Garland and when I was there for just a few days I felt like I would thrive and prosper there and raise my family. So I’m going to see what’s up.
I am a woman from Minnesota. I agree with you that we love doing outdoor activities when the weather is nice! It’s nice doing more active dates.
I'm from Minnesota, too, and will be moving to Texas in the summer of 2024. How do you like it so far?
I’m from Minnesota!! Thinking of moving any tips?
Nice video! DFW is so big in one year, you may think you have seen a lot, but probably not. There is so much to that big place metroplex. Many cities to discover, Plano, Frisco, Grapevine, Southlake, Westlake, Hyland Park, University Park, Heath, Preston Hollow, McKinney, El dorado, Fairview, Keller, Rockwall, Rowlett, Prosper, Addison, Richardson, Carrollton, Fort Worth, Denton, Lewisville, Arlington etc. Once you get to know the place, you might end up liking it more
Dallas is boring lmao
@@Jeschitown Let us give give the young lady a break, she is just learning more and more about this big, fat, popular metropolitan area. She could have moved to Chicago, but Chitown wouldn't be good for her mental health (too cold, too depressing and unsafe LOL)
@@mcnits I was just there in October again I'm not impressed to be honest, had fun at the game thou. Dfw is big to people who don't know any better or if you from a small town or city. Anyone from NYC, los Angeles, Chicago know otherwise lmao I love this time of year nothing like the holiday season in the great city of Chicago.
@@JeschitownChicago sucks that’s why everyone is killing each other there.. bunch of depress assholes😂
@@Jeschitownyou just ain’t nobody out here come to the apts in the cliff you not gone be bored
I'm from Philly originally and thinking about moving to Dallas! It was super helpful hearing you compare Dallas to Philly specifically
This video was super helpful! I was debating back and forth between Houston and Dallas and I think this video covered alot of questions I had that I just couldn't seem to find else where so thank you!
Dallas and Texas is more laid back and not hustle and bustle. Plano and Frisco are cities where you have shopping and bars close to each other but not walking distance. People here like to get out and move around and don’t care that things aren’t very close to each other……also most people don’t want night life where they live. If you want nature then parks and lakes are your only option. I’m surprised you were surprised of super wealth neighborhoods considering the GDP of the Dallas area and Texas which are very high. Try to meet people in a different area because it does make a difference. You forgot one big advantage about living in Dallas and Texas…..no state tax.
You do know that Dallas is in Texas right?
@@BrookeLynn-sr6vy that’s obvious
Dallas is not Hustle and bustle? Huh
Maybe the suburbs but inside Dallas city limits is very Hustle and bustle everyday all day
It's kinda like you have to be accepted in the culture. Most people come here & notice it's a beautiful place but the people are segregated.. so you enjoy the city but not so much the people. Once you're accepted it'll get waaay better. We have places all over full of majority black people living rich but not uppity attitude. People just keep quiet about the places so they won't get crowded with outside opinions & trends. You'll see.
I move to Dallas from California two and half years ago and I love it!! I would say you have to get out alittle more and keep exploring there's so much to do out here in dallas and TX I'll say couple things I consider before moving out here 1> Austin has a lot homeless people and not as many black people as Houston or Dallas 2> The only thing about Houston that worries me is when hurricanes season rolls around and can hit the city and flood it🤔 3> Dallas is growing very fast and there's a lot cool nee spots popping up town town every day!! But the overall vibe is very cool and nice out here!! Looking to buy home by end next year when hopefully interest rates go down and housing market cools down alittle.
Good luck Scott! Thanks for the insight
Well said. True. You spoke for a lot of Cali transplants like me.
Moved here from California 2 years ago and Dallas is very very boring
@@brittoncoil2518 go back to Cali and live with the vegan lgbt feminist and wokist😂😂😂
@brittoncoil2518 Why do people from California and NYC moved to smaller areas and still complain? You choose to move there.
Planning to move to Dallas from South Africa, thank you for this!
Great video! People take it so personal on videos like this. Please y’all, it’s not a personal attack against you, there are critiques and positives to every city (especially to those who are born and raised you may not see it from an outside perspective)
Thank you Shantel!
❤❤❤❤❤l will love to be your friend
I love Dallas. I made the mistake kf moving to the east coast and i hate it here. I can not wait to get back to Dallas!!! Cant wait!!! Lol
I love the east coast...originally from texas (moved in 2008) and thought about moving back, but love it here :-)
What you love about it?
Same here. I am from Connecticut, and moved (AZ, NC, GA) and recently moved to MD for a job from Houston and I am on the first thing smoking to get back to Texas.
I’m from ny I moved to LA/sf valley. 3 years ago beem In Dallas 9 months. The jobs here pay the same as in Cali. But rent is half the price. I have a lady but as a single black man you will have fun. More space but food isn’t to great here. And it’s a good place to invest in real estate without having to spend a fortune to get started
Money is always an issue, but if money wasn’t an issue which city do you prefer between LA County and Dallas/Fort Worth?
@@andreclark2472 LA.
@huntley390 how is the dating scene for a single black male? Especially for someone who is 40? Are women in Dallas approachable? Easy to talk to?
This is so helpful! I’m in MISSISSIPPI and I’m ready to relocate
Commenting in 2024, I appreciate your video and how detailed you presented the information. I will have to disagree about lifestyle a bit. I am from Florida; Miami ,Florida to be exact and I lived in Dallas for four months (residency). I loved the lifestyle there. I lived off Preston & Alpha Road near the Galleria and there was plenty of outdoorsy places to go for walking, biking, and skating. Some places were only 5-10 minutes away and family oriented. There was so many other locations (to your point) that was 15-20 minutes but to me it was well worth it on days I had free time. Coming from Miami, everything (and everyone) is on top of each other so my time in Dallas was amazing. I think regardless of where you move, you have to be intentional to live your life the way you want. If you had something in one city, it won't be the exact same in the next (and that's okay). Your friends had a point about having to go out of your way. You have to be intentional otherwise you'll continue to have an unpleasant experience (and this is coming from someone who/is struggled with chronic depression and anxiety). Anyways, I figured I make a comment for any new comers, I understand that everyone is entailed to their own opinion/experience. I am planning to make my return to Dallas long term.
The way you speak made me feel like I was talking to a friend which is what I kinda need at the moment. I am definitely subscribing 😊
Hii friend! And welcome ☺️💓
I love you..😂❤❤❤ can we be friends
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FROM YOU SPECIFICALLY!
Dreams do come true!
Hi!! I hope this was helpful and informative! :)
Thank you! This is the only good, authentic viedo I can find on living/moving to Dallas
you are welcome!
As a Dallas native I thought your video was full of great information especially for someone still relatively new to the city. Thanks, and keep up the great videos.
I agree. There is a surplus of concrete & no greenery. You have to pack up the vehicle & drive to parks etc.
Anais, very nice video, but it will take you a long time to understand DFW. Downtown Dallas has underground tunnels with shopping malls / centers and restaurants to protect people against the heat at lunch time. Ask someone to show you the underground areas. Dallas is a business place with tons of headquarters, great suburbs where people can work. Philadelphia is more of an old, depressing place with a lot of drunks. The facts are that when the manufacturing jobs fled Philadelphia decades ago, they left behind an underclass of unemployed people. As a result, morale suffered, and many of these people turned to drugs and alcohol as coping mechanisms LOL.
Thank You for this video. I think its great due to the fact that you arent a real estate agent trying to sell the city. Your honest takes are awesome! One thing important to me are demographics which you went in depth on. Weather is another... cost, so are spots to hang out and in general what it would be like there everyday and things that affect everyday life. As im looking at Texas it has to be between dallas and houston maybe some suburb area in between where you can get the best of both worlds that would appease moving from a big city like LA.. not that it has to be here. Thanks again!
Houston big, more crowded, very humid. North more cooler . You will not see beautiful nature here, and ocean is dirty . But it’s growing really fast and good opportunity to grow and get good job or success business. And of course houses cheaper than LA, if you need realtor . I am happy to help
I’m 19 & I’m considering up and moving because I feel like I have nothing left in Atl I hope it’s worth it
updates? similar situation
It ain’t no different here 🫤
❤❤❤❤I will love to be your friend
Actually, Dallas has the largest light rail system in the country. If you live and work along one of these train lines, you could POSSIBLY do without a car.
Thanks for this…That’s super helpful because I’m moving out to Dallas without a car…I lived in NJ/NY for 10years.
I’m not sure what days you go downtown Dallas but there is plenty of bars/restaurants and things to do after work. Especially by Klyde Warren park
I was thinking the same thing here go ppl from the northeast talking down on southern city
I understand what she means because I’ve lived in different parts of the country.
Compared to Philly and NYC it's dead.
@@bossK78 Compared to Philly lmao
You really want philly to be a part of the conversation lol
@@damoriousmurphy223 she literally said Philly in the video
Currently renting a 1 bedroom in the "far north" Dallas area Carrollton/Addison. Off of Dallas North tollway. 1095 a month for the smallest unit. 4 those single with no children it's a dope deal. Also a peaceful area very quiet getaway from the new normal (all day traffic) Plenty of restaurants, shopping malls (thrift stores), all in close range. Bars, movie theaters, and diversity. Please check out this area. ✌🏾
Thank you .. coming from Philadelphia born and raised the downtown in Dallas really shocked me … I moved to Dallas without visiting first and I moved 5 min from the downtown and I was pissed to say the least 😑
I also moved here without a car don’t be like me 😂😂😔
How Center City Philly is set up was perfect for me!! Feel like I kind of have to go out of my way in Dallas to get just a few things done. But it definitely has its pros as well. Hope you're enjoying it besides that!
Philadelphia is basically it and that's why Downtown has much more including a high crime rate! Dallas is surrounded by many large cities is spreader out twice as large as Philadelphia and there's so much to do in each city. I'm from Houston and Love Dallas
Where near downtown I got accepted for a place 15 mins away from downtown
Philly is waaaaaay more dangerous. And the down town area is pretty slow quite honestly. Dallas is safer. No comparison. And probably more to do.
Great recap.... Dallas has been "uppity" since forever... it's not just starting to get uppity - it's the vibe since the last century or longer. Grew up in north Texas (denton) lived there 1967-2008 - uppity is just the way it is. That's why Austin and Houston are so much better. But, nothing beats the Hudson Valley :-)
No kidding. Dallas is the home of Neiman Marcus. Dallas has always been considered uppity.
I moved to Dallas FROM the Hudson Valley! Grew up in the Bronx. I miss the Autumn colors and the safety but THAT’S IT.
Houston is uppity too
@@deronr7560Maybe in the galleria area and the woodlands but in general not really. It's pretty chill
Video was very cool,I agree with everything,minus the public transportation,as someone who grew up in NY/NJ Philly transit,and have lived all over the country,Dallas has 1 of the most vast and affordable transit systems I've seen outside of my area and Chicago,they have park n rides all over the city,also ,u can buy a morning, midday,afternoon,or day pass,and ride anywhere in Dallas non stop,plus connected places with transit(Richardson,Irving,Garland )or all the way to fort Worth (TRE line) with said pass.
Dallas is a hidden gem,and if pub trans is important to you,here is where you can manage.
Thank you so much! I was worried if the public trans was good in Dallas moving there April 2024. I don't like to drive all the time. I'm happy I know it's not surpar.
North Dallas is really nice if you’re looking for a town with shopping & living. Very diverse white, middle class blacks, & ofc Hispanics. I’ve lived here for 7 years coming from Denver Co. Lots of opportunities. I like Arlington too. Uptown, deep elum etc are more for the youngins that want to party. I can’t stand that the don’t have as much nature which sucks.
Agreed. I think the major drawback of Dallas is the lack of outdoor activities. Some lakes a few miles out of the area are nice to kayak/swim etc.
I'm actually thinking about moving from Denver to Dallas. How are you liking it so far?!
@@Bigpeanut5081 I like it out here… the weather is better as in not as cold, there are a lot of things to do for fun, and lots of opportunities. I overall think Denver is a better place to retire or raise a family.
I can walk to 26 restaurants and bars, 6 hotels, music factory, museum, nail shop, lash studio, tailor shop, spa, trail, lake and multiple other places and things; plus grocery and shopping is only 10-13 mins driving taking only one street. I absolutely love it, only been here for 2 months and it has been good.
Your actually the first person that I’ve heard say that Dallas is affordable, everyone that I’ve encountered only talks about how it’s way to expensive.
heavy on the “i don’t like wasting my time” w the dating thing !
You were spot on with this entire video
Is Denton tx diversity
Any city on the east coast will ALWAYS have more walkable cities. Those cities are extremely old and were built like that. Also its extremely hot here. You're not walking in the heat during the summer up and down the street unless you're ready to pass out
Check out some of the areas mentioned .
Addison, Old Downtown McKinney, Also Downtown Grapevine, Legacy West & East which is in Plano. And of course Frisco which has the Star. Downtown Dallas is getting ready for several Multi-Billion Dollar Developments including the Trinity River Project. I’ve lived in all the major cities Austin & Houston & for me Dallas is better than both. Anyway enjoy your content. THE MIND IS A BEAUTIFUL THING😁
I’m getting China McLain! Thanks for this. Ive lived in Dallas for 5 years now and looking to venture for more diversity and culture.
Very real and very informative. Thank you so much lady!
You should get out and about a little more. It seems that you have mostly been in the center of the city. Everywhere has sidewalks, access to public transportation, dining. shopping. There are hills with nature trails, greenery, lakes, etc all over. They aren’t in Downtown, but they are all driveable.
Good video, I agree with some of your points, and I've been here since 2003. I'm in the Farmer's Market, great spot for Saturday daytime activities.
Going from Philly to Dallas too! This was really helpful
I moved here from San Diego, and I thought that California was spread out, but omigosh, if I want to go the grocery store, it feels like such an event. There are some really charming neighborhoods here-especially if you go out to the suburbs a bit, like Flower Mound or Southlake. But still, even with the big lakes, at first it seems like no big deal to access-I’ve gone paddle boarding a few times at Lake Lewisville, BUT after seeing a lady change her toddlers diaper IN THE LAKE, I was just like… And the toll roads kind of negate the lower gas prices. I’ve been trying to find my spots and watching Dallas influencers to see where they go, but I think it’s like Hollywood-how they show you all the cute spots and make it seem like they’re located on one strip with no graffiti, etc. Before moving here, people would talk about the heat and traffic, and I was like, pffft, it gets into the three digits inland here: And then I discovered the difference is that in CA, it cools down at night. Here it’s still 103 at midnight! I feel like I can’t ever open my windows due to the heat, the mud daubers, and the random thunder storms. It makes you feel claustrophobic. I was drawn to how nice the apartments seemed, but when I got to mine-which was fairly new; it hadn’t been cleaned. The fridge was full of bugs. There are holes in the sheetrock above my kitchen cabinets. And I met my first cockroach the other day. I live across from this adorable river with restaurants and geese, but again, can’t use it. Red ants and dog poop everywhere. Restaurants keep closing. And it’s either too hot or cold to go for a walk. My asthmatic cat is miserable. And I don’t want to offend any Texans, because I love how proud they are of their home-but in short, for me, Dallas just isn’t Rachel. If you get the reference. Other people love it though-so what I’d do is like you alluded to and write out what you value most, and if Dallas doesn’t have the ocean 😅 or palm trees and hills you love, don’t do it. It’s an expensive pivot I made. Again, not trying to offend anyone. I moved here to get away from the politicians in my state who were making poor decisions, if I’m being honest, and for what I thought would equate to a nicer home for the money. But there are million+ dollar homes popping up everywhere. It’s how the economy works. But yeah, no state income tax is nice. The architecture is beautiful. Most of the people are lovely. ❤
Planning to move from NY to Dallas, thank you.
happy to answer any questions!
Thank you so much for this video. I’m planning to move out there in June. ❤
If you need help with buying or leasing, I am happy to assist
I'm from NY and after work would run all my errands. I saved so much time and can't imagine not having that. I've also lived in other states that were flat, with no side walks and concretey. I didn't care for them very much. Thanks for such a helpful video.
It’s so interesting how you live only a few miles away from me & we have a completely different experience lol I live across the street from the AAC & I walk everywhere including work. You should definitely look into relocating to Victory Park or Uptown. You’ll be a lot less sedentary.
If you come from a major city NY, London,Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto. Dallas is no where close. It's decent but it's not a true urban vibe. It's more LA or Phoenix.
I left Houston (Katy) after 6 months and I’m a truck driver that’s thinking about moving to Dallas now. Especially since their jobs pay more.
My mom just moved to Katy under a year now she said she loves it.
This is the most honest vid I’ve seen about Dallas. The City is beautiful, the food 👍🏾, the housing space impeccable. If your a earthy natural, hippie, down to earth person. You might feel out of place. I miss Nj Issa good mix
I am from California. I hate California politics and taxes. However, I can drive for 1-4 hours to get to the beach, the mountains, lakes, or the desert. I love hiking, and California is one of the best places for hiking in the United States. I would love to live in Texas for the politics and the taxes. But my dilemma is to do so; I have to give up all of California's great outdoor activities.
@@AlwaysGrowing0 I would suggest to take I few trips spend a few days and see how you like it
Yea you did that, good good video thanks, considering Dallas a little more now
Everything you are saying is 💯 spot on.
Love your energy!
All of the cities in Texas are great. Dallas is one of the better cities in the south.
Thank you for this video. Very thorough, shit now I got a lot to think about. Especially, when it come stop having the option of to walk or drive and also getting outdoors and seeing greenery😩
good luck! glad I could help.
Your 💯. Being able to bike and walk to places is healthy and fun! Dallas is not it. The home values are good because there is no where to go so people stay at home with ac blasting because of the heat. And paying a high power bill to keep the house warm in the winter.
With all due respect your video is not bad but there is alot you have to learn about the city.
Dallas used to be an engineering town back in the 1950s and 1960s. Some important inventions were invented in Richardson and Irving, and the patents created wealth and jobs. This drew in people from beautiful places where there were no jobs for them. The real solution is to create jobs in the beautiful places.
I'm from Philly, and I'm deciding between Dallas and Tampa. The only thing putting Tampa ahead of Dallas is the beach for me. Dallas seems more affordable than Tampa, so I'm stuck lol.
Texas is growing and a lot of investors coming here . If you looking to make money it’s Dallas, if you looking to enjoy and waste money Tampa😃

I have no issue walking to things and I live in the middle of downtown. The public trans is good here you can get anywhere you need to go using Public trans. I take the train all the way to my office in Richardson.

Girl DFW is the number one place for cheating. Don’t come here looking for love it’s the wrong place!!
Lived Houston a while, Hell hot,
Floods every time it rains
So is Dallas like this ?
Doesn't flood easy I Dallss Houston way hotter/humid not much humidity
This is a really dope video 🔥
The homelessness and crime rates out here is nowhere near the amount of what it’s like in Los Angeles California right now. LA has gotten soooooo bad and coming here it’s been a huge difference.
I also find DFW has more nature than LA in Cali. Cali has nature but they’re ALWAYS building apartments businesses or expensive homes in any place there’s open land. Out here in the outskirts of Dallas, I see so many beautiful trees lakes and trails.
Wait really? I was planning on moving to LA in a few months and didn’t take this into serious consideration
I am not moving to Texas. I am moving to Hollywood California.

This was fabulous! Your wrap up was on point too. I’m really considering Dallas as well as some other places. I lived in Philly for a bit so I could totally relate to the comparative points you made.
I do want to know though, did you drive from Philly to Dallas? How was the move? And you’re gorgeous BTW! OH! And do you foresee yourself staying in Dallas for a while?
Thank you for the video lovely!!
Downtown Fort Worth, Sundance Square
13:18 absolutely this 💯 percent. DFW is built up upon every inch and they continue to pour concrete over everything at a rapid pace. Are there trees here ? Yes. There aren’t that many open forested areas. Here and there you will find parks , but they aren’t very big and not very pretty. You don’t get large swaths of uninterrupted nature. That makes me sad. All of the shopping and restaurants available doesn’t make up for the lack of open natural areas.
Dfw is kinda boring in my opinion, I prefer Houston, much more to do and the folks are a little more down to earth!
10:35 MDT. Healthcare is big in DFW metroplex. Gay area in Dallas proper is very nice-expensive. Traffic is terrible!!! Loved living there for 25 yrs.
Wow! I’m coming from the greater philadelphia area, and looking to move there next year
welcome! It was (and still is) an adjustment for me coming from Philly but depending on what you're looking for and enjoy, you may love it! Definitely no center city but..lol
Cedar Hill , Joe Pool hiking trails. 🙂
When you say hillbillies I think of Appalachia. Maybe you might consider saying cowboys. I never thought of Texas having hillbillies.
Perfect way to put it. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thankyou. So disturbed at the toothless hillbilly remarks. Like everyone in the state accept the cities is that way!?
Dallas isn't a Cowboy culture city. Greater Appalachian is what Dallas is. Texas portrayal as Cowboy is historical fiction
