Dallas Neighborhood Reviews – A Dallas Relocation Guide
Dallas Neighborhood Reviews A Dallas Relocation Guide
So you're moving to Dallas Texas and trying to decide where to live. Here is a breakdown of your neighborhood options to choose from.
Everyone wants to live in Uptown, the Village or the (really really expensive) parts of downtown. If you think of an urban area, with lots to do, diversity, NYC like but not quite the rush, that's where you wanna be.
But there are other areas that are nice too. Let me give you a quick break down:
1. Downtown/Deep Elm -- if you're new, stay away. There are places that are great, but a lot places that aren't. The city is in a major downtown slump, so you really need to hunt and pick. If you're a newbie, it'll be hard to make a good choice.
2. Victory Park -- If you can afford it, go for it! However, it's still downtown, so there's not a ton of things to do within waling distance.
3. Uptown/McKinney/West Village -- The healthiest place to live in the Metro. It is what you would think about when it comes to urban living. It can be pricy, but don't let that discourage you. Shops, bars, and the trendiest places to be out and seen at. Mostly young professionals, clubbers, and the "artsy" crowd. Also, the Cedar Springs (lovingly referred to as the Gayboorhood) is also here. Very diverse. Traffic and parking is also a nightmare.
4. Oak Cliff/Bishop Arts/South Dallas -- it's up and coming. But if you're a newbie, don't live here. Only certain places are ok to be in unless you're from here. Mostly slumms just now starting to revitalize. And if you're not in the know, it could be disastrous.
5. The Village -- A great part of the city. A lot like Uptown but more relaxed (and cheaper). If you don't live in uptown, you live here. The mix of people is young professionals, recent college grads or students. Also, there is a huge emphasis on social events.
6. Highland Park / University / Present Hollow -- Home to SMU. Great area -- again, if you can afford it, go for it. Mostly families with lots of money.
7. Lake Highlands -- Used to be a great part of the city, but it's not suffering a decline due to an elderly community. Also, it's starting to see a lot of slums forming.
8. East Dallas / Lakewood -- If you lived in the Village or Uptown all your life, this is where you retire! Great little neighborhood, but again, if you're not in the know it could be tricky to get settled into. The residents are mostly families and baby boomers.
9. Mesquite/Garland/Richardson/East Suburbs/Above 635 -- some great places, some not. Mostly families and a more "normal" and laid back life style. Walmart, strip malls, and commuters.
10. North Dallas / Plano / Frisco -- Used to be the place to be, now it's been taken over by families. Not a bad area, but think very upscale end of normal. Everyone has a brick home, drives and SUV, and has money to give their teenagers to spend at the mall.
11. Rowlett/Rockwall/Lake Ray Hubbard -- use to be considered "WAY" out there, but now turning into nice communities. If you don't need to be close to the city, these are cute little towns but are growing quickly. Rockwall was voted top 10 places to live and places with job growth last year by CNN, and Rowlett was voted 24 best place to live in the nation. Again, mostly families, but definitely a slower paced, better quality of shops / businesses, and relaxed life styles.
12. Harry Hines / Medical District / West Dallas -- Again, this is one of those places where you need to be in the know. But it's home to Korea town, the red light district, pawn shops, and wholesale warehouses.
13. Addison -- Above North Dallas, this is one of the coolest places to live in the Metro. They have their own bar / restaurants, and the city does a lot of cool free events (like movies, jazz, festivals, etc in their town circle). It's kind of a cross between uptown and the village minus the college students. Also a lot less expensive. And everyone is friendly and in a good mood.
14. Fort Worth -- I don't know a lot about all the suburbs, but Sundance Square, TCU area, and the stockyards are where you want to be.
15. Arlington -- smack between Dallas and Fort Worth, it's the place to be in you wanted to be in the middle of all the sports, cheap living, and/or are a college student. Pretty much anywhere you live there is ok, but be prepared for TRAFFIC!
Hope this helps as you are relocating to Dallas Texas
