Dallas has seen a lot of growth in last few years with families moving to Dallas from all over USA. According to a report, more than 200 people a day are moving to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Last year the population in D-FW grew by 144,704 — second only to Houston, according to the U.S. Census study. More than half of that increase — almost 80,000 — came from migrants to North Texas. More than 75 companies have moved to North Texas since 2010. According to the Chamber, they’ve created 500,000 new jobs. If you are considering relocating to Dallas, one of the questions that should be on top of your mind is - which Dallas suburb to pick for your family?
Dallas communities are as diverse as the population. Areas like Downtown and Uptown attract those focused on urban living, while neighborhoods like Preston Hollow and Lakewood are right for people who want to be close to the town but have a little more space. Areas in southern Dallas are surrounded by nature; areas to the north are boomtowns with every modern convenience there is.
So, what makes one neighborhood better than another? Some factors might be cost of the homes; school district ratings; shopping, entertainment and dining; commute times to work and airports and unique features of each area.
