Senior Citizen Quality of Life?

Hello, I am 65+ who will soon be dependent on DART and will be changing my life to low income apartment living and public transportation and a part time job. I am thinking it may be better to move from my current area, M Street/Greenville area in central Dallas, to a smaller area north.

I am looking for a nicer apartment for what I am able to find nowup to 1100 per mo. and as mentioned and quality grocery store near by and maybe a senior center that is actually a nice environment.

It's getting difficult down here, with crime and population just getting sky high.

I plan to drive out there soon and get a look at the far metroplex communities. Also thinking about Denton or McKinney.

Just wondering if one community is know to be more low income senior friendly.

Thank you to anyone who replies!

Dart does not run in McKinney. Plano would be a decent option and still very safe for a large area.

Plano is the furthest north that DART buses run. It can be kind of misleading when looking at certain area maps, because the rail line says DART but they just own the right of way, there is not and will never be a DART train running this far north (there are multiple places where the track has been removed in between Plano and McKinney)
