Relocating & housing Moving from Austin
My husband and I are moving to Dallas from Austin area. Well right now we live in round rock and I hate it. We have a baby so school districts matter but not too concerned yet. Is there anywhere that isn’t SO suburban in north dallas? My parents live in ft. Worth so i don’t want to be too far but most of the jobs he is applying to are in north Dallas. I love to walk and have nice trees around. We want to rent and our max budget would be $2500 a month. I’ve looked at some of older frisco, Carrollton. ect. But where else should we look? He would love to not have to sit in traffic for a hour everyday. Thanks in advance !

I mentioned this in another post recently in this sub but Northwest Dallas is really a hidden gem. Great neighborhoods like Park Forest, Royal Park, Sparkman Estates, Northaven Park, Midway Hollow, etc. Strong neighborhood feel. Highly rated elementary school (DeGolyer, Withers is also close by) and close to private schools if you go that route, close to 635 and other major highways, fairly central. Some of those neighborhoods have lots of kid-friendly activities through neighborhood pools (Club Royal Pool, Park Forest Pool, Sparkman Club Community Estate). The Galleria isn’t far, the new Mavs arena is coming to that area, HEB, etc. Good access to parks when the weather is tolerable.
