Dallas is one of the largest metro areas in the country and the city is linked through freeways, local train system - DART, tollways, bus lines, and roads but each neighborhood is distinct. Deep Ellum is “hipster and edgy.” is up and coming. Frisco is great for families with kids and up-and-coming professionals. Southlake is popular with families looking for luxury homes in a tranquil setting. These are just a small flavor of the neighborhoods in tight-knit Dallas. If you branch out to McKinney, Little Elm, Westlake, Colleyville and the outer neighborhoods you get an entirely different “feel.”The biggest thing that you need to consider are the amenities you need, the types of homes you want available to you, the culture of the neighborhood (i.e. family-friendly, pet-friendly, access to public transportation, proximity to retirement hot spots), the nightlife, the food scene, and more.
