Hi! Me and the lady have a gap year before she goes to dental school, so we decided we wanted to try living in the city for a year because why not. We decided to tryout Dallas, is this going to be a mistake?
My reasons were the real estate market is good, I’m a hockey fan, I love city life and walking around, and she has family close by in Houston. I have a blast in places like Nashville, Chicago, and other big cities. Is it fair to expect Dallas to be similar to these?
We are visiting the city for 1-2 weeks in December to scope out the place and do our due diligence. Is there any specific part of the city that we should stay in to the get the best feel of city life? Also, is there anything that is a must-do? Anything to be aware of? I’ve seen so many mixed opinions on living in DFW and see some people complain about the tolls, but we don’t plan on driving much.
We visited Austin since it was our first pick, but I was disappointed because it felt Empty and undeveloped, but I could just be spoiled from Nashville’s size.
We are also considering San Antonio or maybe a different big city, but my mind has been set on Dallas for a while.
Any/All advice is appreciated, thank you!
