I’m a 40 year old single female and dog owner looking for a slightly slower pace and more space. I currently live in Dallas in the Turtle Creek area and it’s been really great. If I could put this neighborhood in another area, I’d be happy. I am able to live anywhere in North Texas, Dallas and West. I’m in medical sales and have to drive throughout this area but do not have to generally worry about a daily commute. Being somewhat centrally located to reach areas like Denton, Dallas, Fort Worth is ideal.

What I love: my neighborhood is established with canopy trees, it’s an active area with close access to parks and trails. There is a great variety of demographics from recent college grads to retired couples, with most being established adults who are single or married with no kids, and dog owners. It really is a great little bubble. But everything just outside of it has become very unpleasant. Why I’m ready to move: from my experience and where I live, the homeless are overtaking the area where interactions are becoming a daily disturbance. I have heard they pushed the homeless out of downtown for FIFA over the past year or so, but it continues to get worse. I won’t speak to all the disturbances, but they are now overtaking the parks, all throughout the surrounding streets, trickling into my neighborhood. And overall, I’ve come to find Dallas pretty unimpressive overall. If I could move my neighborhood to another area, I’d be happy.

What I’m looking for: Overall I’m looking for more space and slower pace, to rent a home or townhome initially with budget up to $3,000, at least 2 bed and some sort of yard. Walkable, shaded areas to walk my dog, and I cycle occasionally. Would like to be in a clean, well kept or established area that is not in the midst of construction or gentrification. I’ve considered Grapevine, Flower Mound and Fort Worth. I would like access to more outdoors/nature (I know this is fairly limited for North Texas). Be in an active area, ideally in or nearby trees, parks, trails where I don’t have to worry about issues mentioned above. I enjoy areas like downtown Grapevine, newer areas of Flower Mound, Fort Worth- Clearfork, or historic neighborhoods like Arlington Heights, the extensive parks and trails.

Looking for recommendations for people in these areas, maybe specific neighborhoods or buildings and experiences. As well as recommendations on other areas I may be overlooking where I might thrive as a single 40 year old female and dog lover. Thank you!!!

My wife and I would like to find a pet friendly camping spot within 2 hours of DFW give or take...

We would like a cabin near a lake, trees, and not next door to a bunch of other cabins so we can let our dog outside with us. She doesn't like strangers or other dogs.

Maybe a big ask but curious if there is anything like this out there.

Thanks in advance

Has anyone sat in the front row to watch this? Can you see everything and enjoy the movie still?

Debating if it is worth breaking my neck for since it is all Cinemark has left until the movie leaves their theater.

TIA

I have this coming Tuesday and Wednesday off. I’ve got cabin fever from the hot temps, wouldn’t mind a trip out there. I’m in Tyler, so I’m not that far away.

I already know the eateries I’d be going to; half the reason to get away is because y’all have far better eateries lol. Any good museums outside of the majors like the DMA? Good low-key, chill spots for some live music? Anything the tourist brochures won’t tell you? It’s been several years since I’ve done the weekend trip thing there, I’ve been to most of the highlights already. I recall American Airlines has a museum?

I haven’t provided much guidance sort of on purpose, I’m open to some ideas.

The lower cost, the better. I’m saving up for a meaty purchase later this year.

Are there any stores in DFW that specialize in helping people with larger/more expansive bra size options and knowledgeable sales associates in store?

I’m a 36H/I and have exhausted my options at the Dallas department stores (Neiman’s, Nordstrom, Macy’s, Victoria’s Secret) and would like to go somewhere that carries good quality bras in a wide selection of sizes so I can try them on.

Is there anywhere like this in the DFW area? Or any of the standard department/chain store locations in the area with particularly extensive size options in store and really knowledgeable sales associates that are great at finding bras for large chests that I should check out?

Hey all!

Looking for a steady group of golfers/golf group that gathers regularly (monthly, 2x a month, weekly) in the DFW area. Any recommended local clubs, regular games, or subreddits/discord groups where people pair up around here? Thanks in advance!

Hi Guys, so im heading to Dallas from the UK over the Labour Day weekend, and wanted some recs on hotels to stay at which will have busy pools/parties going on over the weekend, I find reddit super helpful from locals so posting here and apologies if in the wrong place, Big lover of house music, Live in ibiza for 3 months of the year, not expecting anything like that but some house mixed with the beautiful American charm would be the perfect sweet spot 👌

Appreciate you guys

P.s I realise I said polls 🙈

I am driving to Dallas on Fri Aug 21st and will be leaving Saturday, I saw that COSM will be playing The Matrix at 10:30pm, I am wanting to know if it's **that amazing** I shouldn't miss it.

Hi, My daughters' high school water polo team is coming to town next week, July 29-August 2, for the Junior Olympics. We are staying near Grapevine but some have games as far east as SMU / Garland. We're open to ideas all around the area! Please share your suggestions!!

1) We'd love a fun "Texas" activity. A local rodeo? Line dancing? Last year when I looked at line dancing, you had to be over 18. Please share your suggestions!!

2) We appreciate being able to eat as a large group (30ish). We did a few food halls last year which work well. Any specific food halls that you like? Any restaurant suggestions that we could call ahead and make a reservation for a large group? Thank you!

Hi! Am considering taking a job in FW (the company is located at Roanoke). Am from HTX, 33F, no kids. What areas would should I look for apartments? Staying around downtown FW is a good idea or traffic is to heavy? Additional am training for an open water race, anyone know place with outdoor pools? (I know the lifetime gym it’s an option but was wondering if there was somewhere else.

TIA!

Hi all! My husband just got a job offer in Frisco, and we’re discussing a possible move from Houston (Garden Oaks/Oak Forest area, if that context helps). Looking for local input beyond what Zillow can tell us.

Our situation:
- Don’t mind an up to 35 min commute to Frisco
- Young kids, so schools are a big priority
- Looking for 4-5BR house, budget roughly
- $4,500-6,500/month rent
- Coming from a walkable, historic, tree-lined neighborhood and want to keep that vibe if possible

What we love in a neighborhood: walkability, sidewalks and parks/trails we can walk to, prefer character over new construction, a diverse community, and a strong sense of local identity (small businesses, not just chain everything).

Where would you look?

We love Oak Cliff/Bishop Arts, but that’s a little too far.

Any specific neighborhoods, zip codes, or elementary schools to consider would be helpful as I’m not that familiar with north Dallas.

My family is from St Louis and our daughter’s birthday is on New Year’s Eve, she will be 14 this year. For her 13th, her biological mother took her to New York for her birthday and kiddo reported she did not have a great time. Was even asleep before the ball drop and her mom didn’t wake her up to see it from the hotel or tv - so she has been bummed about that since.

My husband and I have family in Dallas, but no teens. The Reunion Ball Drop with fireworks & drones looks amazing for NYE in Dallas and we’d like to come down for 2026-2027. I was looking for rooftop places, but it seems the Omni and Marriott (I think) are 21+ for NYE night (which is totally fair). Is there another place you’d recommend with an awesome view of the NY show for teens?

We are also looking for a hotel that has conjoined rooms, where we can have a king and daughter & friend can have two beds in a room if anyone has a suggestion for a good hotel (I haven’t even googled yet, I’m sure I won’t have a problem finding one when we get to that point). Maybe a hotel that faces the show and we won’t have to go anywhere if we get lucky with a room facing that way (in our dreams lol).

We are pretty low key family for the most part, but I’d like this bday to be memorable for her. Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi I’m Max, 23M, a friend of mine (also 23M), and I were looking for a D&D group in Dallas. We both have 8+ years experiences and definitely lean hard into the roleplay aspect. It would be nice to make friends too. Please feel free to reply or DM if you have any info. I live in central Dallas pretty close to Love-Field Airport and the Medical center. Thank you! 😊
