Thank you for saying this. I am from chicago born in raised in the city. And I just want to be somewhere that I can buy a cheaper house. I love Chicago but its not the same city from when I was younger. But I am considering the move..
Lived in Dallas my whole life and the part of how spread out everything is, is spot ON! There’s been so many times where I’ve driven for over an hour, and I’m still in Dallas County lol
i guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!
Kat find a way. I think you would like it here. It is hot as hell in summer but rest of year is perfecto. Mr Vega is correct you have to have a 🚗 the Metroplex is HUGE. He hones in on Dallas but Ft Worth and all suburbs are also great. The absolute center of the universe is Grapevine,TX. You will see it on Google Earth is 5 miles from DFW International Airport. Good luck!
One thing not mentioned: Dallas is quite a lux city. Clothes shopping on the level of NYC or LA. Ferrari, Rolls Royce, etc. on the street is a common sight with all the highest-end car dealerships present in the city. Food choices are endless. Etc.
Trust me dude, our Dallas traffic is nowhere near as brutal as LA's. Those highways routinely make people contemplate suicide. I've lived in both cities, so I'm in a position to know. You're right about the public transpo and the toll roads, though. Both suck big time in Dallas.
Love the video!! Very insightful. Moving to Texas soon and choosing between Austin and Dallas. Dallas is for sure winning! The thought of it being more diverse and accepting is awesome to hear. Thank you!
It may get really hot in the summer and a little unpredictable in the winter, but at least it's sunny for a good chunk of the year in Dallas. Winter in the Midwest is its own special kind of depression.
@@MarissaLenea Hey! I’m also from Ohio and considering moving to Texas I’m torn between Dallas and Houston. Have you really enjoyed Dallas? Are there many young people there?
Try for 10 months/year; Winter, in Dallas, means 4-8 weeks (from the end of December through the end of February) with temperatures between 30-50 degrees Fahrenheit, and overcast skies/conditions!!
@@Mimiscellaneous if I were you, I'd be choosing to move, either, to New York, or, if you must have warm/hot (and dry) weather conditions for 10 months/year, Los Angeles; but then, I don't know what you can afford!
In my opinion, the weakest link with your analysis is that you haven't lived anywhere else. So when you complain about the weather or the traffic or the need for a car ....try out places like LA, Chicago, NY and Toronto and compare. Dallas is a very well balanced package!
The reason that I want to move to Dallas is for more opportunities. I got MS degree in IT and I can't find work with no experience here in CA. My promised to you is that I'll vote red for life when I move to Dallas.
Haha love it...you’ll vote red. I’m afraid Dallas has already been overtaken by liberals and Democrats. Fort Worth, TX is the only Republican city left and McKinney.
Great vid homie. I'm from Oak Cliff. I would recomend to folks moving here to live/rent close to Dart light rail. Yes, the raìl is very reliable, but the Dart buses, not so much. For attractions, check out reunion tower, JFK exibit, Ft. Worth stockyards, Ft. Worth zoo, Ft. Worth water gardens and definitely State fair of Texas. Yeah, if your job requires you have to take a toll road to work, expect your toll bill can be $50 - $100 per month. Dress appropiately for the summers in Dallas. I used to walk 20 mins to the light rail, and be sweating profusely before 7 am
@@VIPRealty 90s and humid is pretty common. Severe thunderstorms happen in spring and summer too. The winters are the most variable part of the year. We could have days in january it’s sunny and in the 50s and other days it’s windy and drops into the single digits.

I appreciate your video. I'm moving to Dallas this summer, looking forward to working there. One question: how easy is street parking? I am planning to live in an apartment but not sure if I should splurge for the garage parking.
The tolls in Dallas are easy to pay. They are not very expensive and you can pay with quarters and a debit card also most of them. Have an employee there that could help. HERE IN SAN DIEGO, there is No quarters allowed and there's no person working the toll 99% of the time. IF THE CARD READER DOES NOT READ THE CARD ( MOST OF THE TIME) YOU GET A NICE HEFTY BILL IN. THE MAIL.
I live in Australia and I really want to live in Dallas when I get older to get a god job a nice house and a lot of places to go is this a good choice to live in Dallas? Anyone pls reply
For sure! Cost of living is very affordable compared to Toronto. As mush as I can't the heat during the summer, I'd prefer it over the freezing cold. lol
Three years ago, I flew from Rio de Janeiro to Dallas, my city, it was around March. I had a layover in Toronto. It was the night before my friends wedding. I left Brazil, wearing a tank top. Nine hours later, i arrived in Toronto, and in March, it was too cold for me to go to the airport parking garage and smoke a cigarette. BTW, the Toronto airport was the first time I saw a 7-eleven in the six months that I left Dallas for Brasil. I bought a huge coffee.
The worst part is the heat? Wow! Try living the London, Where we see the Sun 2 weeks max (summer) I absolutely love the sun. Great video and extremely informative. Thank you Sir 🙏🏻❤️

How are cybersecurity jobs in Dallas? Is it dry heat or humid? Also, I have horrible allergies, how are seasonal allergies for people that have them in Dallas?
I moved to Dallas in 2000 from Chicago not knowing one person. 2021 I am still here. It's been a great town to live in. Getting a little crowded now but that's growth.
@@heyitsgee It really depends on where you work. The big growth now is Frisco/Far North Dallas. If your young and single Uptown is good place to start. It's right by downtown just to the north.
I’m considering moving to Dallas I’m from New Jersey and I feel like Dallas gives me urban vibes that still make me feel like I’m in Jersey but just in a more better climate I want to save for a nice big down payment for a nice house is it worth living in Dallas and are there Healthcare opportunities in the medical field?
This is MY CITY! I just love it here!!!!! I am right in the middle of everything with adventures it has to offer :) Fashion Dallas and Fast n Furious Dallas!! Where you have to get to will take you time so buckle up and let’s go go go!!! You will never be bored here :)
I am planning a move to Dallas in June from NJ. I am doing some research now which part of it will be binge watching this channel and others like it. The cons in this video are not really cons if you are coming from northern new jersey.
@@sw-or3nf what's wrong with the roads? I'm still one month away from moving and I don't know where exactly to go. I need to be near water, at least a lake.

I lived in Plano from 80 to 93 and construction was everywhere even back then, but at least there were no toll roads yet and lots of good country back road shortcuts. The heat was fine for the first 5 years but when I hit about 27 and bought my first home, the heat started wearing on me, it was best to stay indoors or go shopping in an air conditioned mall. Would I ever move back? Probably not, it's way too crowded now, I went back in 2014 and barely recognized the place! Even so, people there were always friendly, more so than anywhere else that I lived. l have good memories from working there (TI) and living down there.
@@alexmurphy5289 Why? because of all the traffic or just too much ongoing construction? ... it's sort of always been that way. I75 was 2 lanes in the early part of the 80s but was always under construction the whole 13 years I lived there. Someone mentioned California is worse and I'd have to agree.
Wow nows my time to shine haha. Not too often but i was in the last tornado that swept through 20 miles of North Dallas. I was at work at UPS and all of a sudden the lights started flickering and i saw a wall of dust and papers and boxes flying around everywhere i thought the building was freaking gone but what happened was all the doors were open and we caught the outer ring of the tornado so it was literally blowing *THROUGH* the building. I was about 30 feet high on a platform and had to climb down a ladder in the dark holding on so i dont get blown away. We all huddled together like scared chickens for about 30 more seconds and then it started going away but that was so crazy. 2 trailers got picked up in the air with people loading inside and miraculously they were okay, one person broke a leg or 2 but both lived. When i left work that night it was a huge mess i didnt realize how bad it was because it was completely dark. No power on the streets, the whole street behind us disappeared both 711s, the whole shopping center. Several shopping centers the whole line down. A home depot, my planet fitness. Trees were *EVERYWHERE* that night i really understood the power of nature. Luckily not a single person died in all the destruction. Theres still empty businesses down Walnut Hill. Like nothings been done. They havent even demolished some of it they just swept away the mess and left lol. Im sorry to hijack this comment, just wanted to share my story. Yall have a great day. And ps, tornadoes dont happen too often around the city. Quite rare. I did see one when i was like 5 too but i forgot mostly what happened. We are all taught how to take cover though in school, idk if thats a nationwide thing. Tornado drills.
IM LITERALLY MOVING TO DALLAS TEXAS FEBRUARY 2022 & ITS THE BIGGEST MOVE IN MY LIFE. IVE NEVER BEEN TO TEXAS AND COMING FROM ARIZONA IT SHOULDN'T BE SO HOT PLUS ARIZONA REAL ESTATE MARKET IS OUT THE ROOF ! I BELIEVE IN TEXAS IM GOING TO MAKE A GREAT LIVING ‼️
I’m from Mississippi moved to Chicago when I was young & now I feel the need to go back down south.. I’m just so nervous because I hear how hot it is & there’s nothing I hate more than heat 🥵🥵
I hear you! I can't stand the heat. However, it's waaaaaay better than those Chicago winters lol. Also, I'd say 40 days or so out of the summer are super hot. Which isn't bad, unless you work outdoors.
I live in Dallas so one thing you said was incorrect you dont need a vehicle really cause I catch the bus everywhere and trains to my 80 year old papa and I walk everywhere we dont have a car so its pretty easy its basically your Choice on what you want to take
When I lived in Irving Texas a suburb in dallas southern hospitality was definitely a thing but I feel like parents weren’t the best about passing it on to their kids because I knew a lot of mean kids at my school in Irving.
The heat definitely is a make it or break it. Expect it to be around 96°F with 60% humidity from June through September. So you better make sure your car has iced cold A/C!
Christian concerts, dallas sister tribe slumber parties, 6 flags and hurricane harbor, dallas farmers market, shopping, swapmeets, lots to do without involving alcohol
This is a great video, thanks for the info, planning to visit soon. Any suggestions on how to start a business in Dallas? perhaps a food business (small restaurant). Coming from NYC, looking at city options now. Thanks!
Not sure about the restaurant business. However, like with any other business I know location is key. What type of restaurant are you wanting to start?
@@VIPRealty Thanks for the quick reply. Probably italian (tbd :)...), are locals welcoming all kind of world cuisines? I know some cities are very very attached to their roots ...but since you mention a lot of people have moved to the city, it seems like an option
I am already planning to shift in USA, and in dallas only.. Want to stay in dallas downtown only. Like a good spacious 2bed apartment, specially with gym n super market near by...
Hi there! Love this video. Can you suggest some upscale yet affordable areas weather in the city or suburbs to start getting an idea of housing? Thank you so much!
Come correct with those attractions. Most of thoses are in Arlington,Tx my city. Which is a 25-30min drive away from Dallas. SIX FLAGS, Texas Rangers stadium, and Cowboys AT&T Stadium. But Dallas the city does have the Mavericks and the Night scenes that Arlington,tx doesnt.
Your right, 6 flags, Ball Park, Cowboys Stadium are in Arlington. A suburb outside of Dallas. However, most people relocation identity these locations with Dallas. So do the football broadcasters. SMH
Dallas County has the Stars and the Mavericks but with that being said the Dallas/Fort Worth area does have a lot of sports with Arlington, TX having the most with the Cowboys, Rangers, Wings, Jackals and E-Sports with that being said other teams in the Dallas/Fort Worth area not in Dallas or Arlington are Nascar with the Texas Motor Speedway which is in Fort Worth, TX then you have Golf with the Byron Nelson in McKinney, Texas and the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas then you have Soccer with FC Dallas in Frisco, Texas then Indoor Football with the Frisco Fighters then you have Indoor Soccer with the Dallas Sidekicks in Allen, Texas then you have the Double A baseball team called the Rough Riders in Frisco, Tx and last the g league team called the Texas Legends in Frisco, TX then you have last the tier II junior ice hockey team called the Lone Star Brahmas in North Richland Hill, Texas
I live in SF Bay area I might move when I retire and sell my house, contemplating moving to the DALLAS or San Antonio area, I keep hearing people are very friendly, am Latino and with a personality. I hope when I retire in 8 years still affordable.
It may not be...As West coast States, CA, WA, getting insane expensive year after year despite Covid pandemic effect !!, ( housing prices are still insane in Seattle and not even nice looking ones!), people will seek out to move further east, or southeast where ever they can afford to live and then push up prices...
Great video bro thank you! Dallas is somewhere I always wanted to relocate to. Born and raised in Hawaii but currently living in Tacoma, WA. I have a pretty big family so I'm really considering Dallas for the opportunity. My main question is how's the Christian churches? I'd assume there should be a bunch but figure I ask anyway.
I highly recommend Gateway church, they have many campuses around DFW, Great church that is based on the Bible, great worship and great Word of God, You can check us out at Gatewaypeople.com , and yes there’s many churches
@@oscarvega7534 thank you so much for the info! I feel called to be out there for some reason so I'm gonna be obedient and make the move next year. Thanks again Chase and God bless!

I live in Austin and YES I noticed that the last time I was in Dallas, CONSTRUCTION EVERYWHERE! As well as everything is so spread out!
Dallas is growing. I love Austin. However, the traffic is horrible there too.
The tolls in Dallas are easy to pay. They are not very expensive and you can pay with quarters and a debit card also most of them. Have an employee there that could help. HERE IN SAN DIEGO, there is No quarters allowed and there's no person working the toll 99% of the time. IF THE CARD READER DOES NOT READ THE CARD ( MOST OF THE TIME) YOU GET A NICE HEFTY BILL IN. THE MAIL.
I live in Australia and I really want to live in Dallas when I get older to get a god job a nice house and a lot of places to go is this a good choice to live in Dallas? Anyone pls reply
Dallas will enable you to have all those options.
I'm watching this from Toronto... and Dallas sounds like an affordable version of our city with warmer weather.
For sure! Cost of living is very affordable compared to Toronto. As mush as I can't the heat during the summer, I'd prefer it over the freezing cold. lol
Three years ago, I flew from Rio de Janeiro to Dallas, my city, it was around March. I had a layover in Toronto. It was the night before my friends wedding. I left Brazil, wearing a tank top. Nine hours later, i arrived in Toronto, and in March, it was too cold for me to go to the airport parking garage and smoke a cigarette.
BTW, the Toronto airport was the first time I saw a 7-eleven in the six months that I left Dallas for Brasil. I bought a huge coffee.
The worst part is the heat? Wow! Try living the London, Where we see the Sun 2 weeks max (summer) I absolutely love the sun. Great video and extremely informative. Thank you Sir 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you. You're right, I'd rather see the sun on a daily basis :)
Try living in the North West of England mate, we come to London for the good weather...😂
@@GarethSewell1982 lol 😂 I take your word for it 🤣🤣🤣
Phoenix az has 300 days of sunshine
I'm from Brazil planning my move to Frisco Texas by next year !! Can't wait !!!
You’ll love it
welcome...get ready for high taxs
That's awesome. Here is a video on Frisco, Texas th-cam.com/video/67cIgJQTY24/w-d-xo.html
@@IrenaEzeala i doubt its higher than brasil haha
Oi Yuri você vai gostar da Frisco,TX só que quando for comprar casa os impostos school é property como falamos custam olho da cara. Seja bem-vindo no TX!🇧🇷
I went to Dallas for a conference. Such a beautiful city.
landed a job in dallas so ill be heading there soon. fresh out of college and dont know a single soul there. any suggestions on how i can meet ppl?
You'll meet plenty of good people. What part of Dallas are you moving to?
@@VIPRealty my office will be in chase tower in city center district (?) havent decided where to live quite yet
My Aunt is planning on moving from Dallas to Frisco, would definitely share this video with her. She is also considering Dallas Finest Movers for helping her relocate. Are they the finest in Dallas?
She'll love Frisco! I'm not sure about that moving company.
Me and my family is planning on moving from San Francisco* to Dallas
@@hoodieg8555 What part of Dallas?
I am deciding between Las Vegas and Dallas as my new home. I have been to Vegas many many times but never been to Dallas. I am a single man in his 30s looking to start a career in real estate investing.
That's a topic I plan to cover, Texas vs Nevada. IMO Vegas is a great place to visit and have a good time. However, to live.. I'd choose Texas and it's not even close.
Thanks for this. I think there are more cons than pros but geez the houses are lovely and affordable which doesn’t exist anymore
How are cybersecurity jobs in Dallas? Is it dry heat or humid? Also, I have horrible allergies, how are seasonal allergies for people that have them in Dallas?
All I know is its very hot in July and August. lol
I get allergies once a year.
I moved to Dallas in 2000 from Chicago not knowing one person. 2021 I am still here. It's been a great town to live in. Getting a little crowded now but that's growth.
Hi @tim n, which area within Dallas is a good area to move into?
@@heyitsgee It really depends on where you work. The big growth now is Frisco/Far North Dallas. If your young and single Uptown is good place to start. It's right by downtown just to the north.
@@TT-by7tv thanks for this!
Looking into transferring my job down that way. Thanks for the informative video.
You're welcome
I’m considering moving to Dallas I’m from New Jersey and I feel like Dallas gives me urban vibes that still make me feel like I’m in Jersey but just in a more better climate I want to save for a nice big down payment for a nice house is it worth living in Dallas and are there Healthcare opportunities in the medical field?
i also planned on moving to Dallas am from New Jersey as well .. let’s me know how it’s goes
I'm sure much friendlier people too. I dont like the vibe in Jersey no offense.
This is MY CITY! I just love it here!!!!!
I am right in the middle of everything with adventures it has to offer :)
Fashion Dallas and Fast n Furious Dallas!!
Where you have to get to will take you time so buckle up and let’s go go go!!!
You will never be bored here :)
Been here most of my life it gets boring.
Ghostsniperable can u elaborate?
💯
I am planning a move to Dallas in June from NJ. I am doing some research now which part of it will be binge watching this channel and others like it. The cons in this video are not really cons if you are coming from northern new jersey.
Go to the suburbs, like Frisco, it's nice out there
The biggest/only con for me are the roads I’ve been here for a month coming from jersey
@@sw-or3nf I've lived here my entire life and I agree.
I take the Train to work so I dont Trip too much
@@sw-or3nf what's wrong with the roads? I'm still one month away from moving and I don't know where exactly to go. I need to be near water, at least a lake.
@@efrain926 Wish I had done that bc I do miss the beach. With the roads it’s obvious they had ideas they couldn’t execute bc none of them are finished and it causes crazy traffic. Still don’t regret my move lol the weather makes it worth it
I’m a native Texan I live In South Carolina now I lived in wills point Texas and Dallas and Greenville Texas I wish my family had never moved from Texas my late dad was from South Carolina my mom was from Texas my dad was a Baptist preacher so we moved around some I really really miss Texas and the friendly Texas people I hope to move back to Texas one day Dallas is a very nice town home to big Tex and the Dallas Cowboys
Hope you find your way back to Texas! Big Tex, it's almost that time of the year.
I lived in Plano from 80 to 93 and construction was everywhere even back then, but at least there were no toll roads yet and lots of good country back road shortcuts. The heat was fine for the first 5 years but when I hit about 27 and bought my first home, the heat started wearing on me, it was best to stay indoors or go shopping in an air conditioned mall. Would I ever move back? Probably not, it's way too crowded now, I went back in 2014 and barely recognized the place! Even so, people there were always friendly, more so than anywhere else that I lived. l have good memories from working there (TI) and living down there.
Plano is great and so are the people who live there. Did you watch our Plano video th-cam.com/video/BPVNrOUogrw/w-d-xo.html
You moved at the PERFECT time, it’s absolutely horrible now
@@alexmurphy5289 Why? because of all the traffic or just too much ongoing construction? ... it's sort of always been that way. I75 was 2 lanes in the early part of the 80s but was always under construction the whole 13 years I lived there. Someone mentioned California is worse and I'd have to agree.
Right now is hard to purchase a home in dallas the $ house interest has gone sky hi
It's not only Dallas. Home prices have gone up just about everywhere.
Is there Tornado in Dallas?
Once in a blue moon, but nothing to worry about.
Wow nows my time to shine haha. Not too often but i was in the last tornado that swept through 20 miles of North Dallas. I was at work at UPS and all of a sudden the lights started flickering and i saw a wall of dust and papers and boxes flying around everywhere i thought the building was freaking gone but what happened was all the doors were open and we caught the outer ring of the tornado so it was literally blowing *THROUGH* the building. I was about 30 feet high on a platform and had to climb down a ladder in the dark holding on so i dont get blown away. We all huddled together like scared chickens for about 30 more seconds and then it started going away but that was so crazy. 2 trailers got picked up in the air with people loading inside and miraculously they were okay, one person broke a leg or 2 but both lived. When i left work that night it was a huge mess i didnt realize how bad it was because it was completely dark. No power on the streets, the whole street behind us disappeared both 711s, the whole shopping center. Several shopping centers the whole line down. A home depot, my planet fitness. Trees were *EVERYWHERE* that night i really understood the power of nature. Luckily not a single person died in all the destruction. Theres still empty businesses down Walnut Hill. Like nothings been done. They havent even demolished some of it they just swept away the mess and left lol. Im sorry to hijack this comment, just wanted to share my story. Yall have a great day.
And ps, tornadoes dont happen too often around the city. Quite rare. I did see one when i was like 5 too but i forgot mostly what happened. We are all taught how to take cover though in school, idk if thats a nationwide thing. Tornado drills.
IM LITERALLY MOVING TO DALLAS TEXAS FEBRUARY 2022 & ITS THE BIGGEST MOVE IN MY LIFE. IVE NEVER BEEN TO TEXAS AND COMING FROM ARIZONA IT SHOULDN'T BE SO HOT PLUS ARIZONA REAL ESTATE MARKET IS OUT THE ROOF ! I BELIEVE IN TEXAS IM GOING TO MAKE A GREAT LIVING ‼️
I think you'll love living in Texas!
How’s it been out there?
I’m from Mississippi moved to Chicago when I was young & now I feel the need to go back down south.. I’m just so nervous because I hear how hot it is & there’s nothing I hate more than heat 🥵🥵
I hear you! I can't stand the heat. However, it's waaaaaay better than those Chicago winters lol. Also, I'd say 40 days or so out of the summer are super hot. Which isn't bad, unless you work outdoors.
I live in Dallas so one thing you said was incorrect you dont need a vehicle really cause I catch the bus everywhere and trains to my 80 year old papa and I walk everywhere we dont have a car so its pretty easy its basically your Choice on what you want to take
That's impressive. I would find it impossible to live without a car.
@@VIPRealty lol I been doing this since the 5th grade I'm in high school now my papa and I walk everywhere
If you live near public transit and work off of it... really hot in the summer tho and it absolutely has to fit but ur lifestyle
When I lived in Irving Texas a suburb in dallas southern hospitality was definitely a thing but I feel like parents weren’t the best about passing it on to their kids because I knew a lot of mean kids at my school in Irving.
Unfortunately, I think that's an issue everywhere.
The heat definitely is a make it or break it. Expect it to be around 96°F with 60% humidity from June through September. So you better make sure your car has iced cold A/C!
YES!
Facts that heat will drain your energy.
August is the worse 🥵🥵
Just to add to this, everything there is to do here in Dallas costs money and usually revolves around alcohol.
Christian concerts, dallas sister tribe slumber parties, 6 flags and hurricane harbor, dallas farmers market, shopping, swapmeets, lots to do without involving alcohol
Life is what you make it buddy! LOL... same nonalcoholic activities as seen unbothered cities including festivals, museums, etc.
I feel like that’s almost everywhere man.
I think he be going to Total Wine & More off Central Expressway aka 75 a lot lol
Welcome to life u have to pay for everything that’s why it’s good to have a good paying job nowadays
How cold does Dallas usually get in the winter? Or does it get cold at all?
Once in a while it will get cold (30s) However, most of the winter I'm wearing shorts and a hoodie.
Awesome content Mr. Soto...God Bless! :)
Thank you!
you do not have to worry about tolls if you never leave loop 12
True. Just the traffic. lol
This is a great video, thanks for the info, planning to visit soon. Any suggestions on how to start a business in Dallas? perhaps a food business (small restaurant). Coming from NYC, looking at city options now. Thanks!
Not sure about the restaurant business. However, like with any other business I know location is key. What type of restaurant are you wanting to start?
@@VIPRealty Thanks for the quick reply. Probably italian (tbd :)...), are locals welcoming all kind of world cuisines? I know some cities are very very attached to their roots ...but since you mention a lot of people have moved to the city, it seems like an option
@@alexandrag679 Absolutely! Dallas residents love to go out to eat and we like plenty of options.
Thank you for this video I’m relocating pretty soon from Boston you just fired me up I’m excited lol but Boston traffic is about the same.
You'll love Dallas. However, the traffic during rush hour is a pain
@@VIPRealty when’s rush hr?
@@TheNaynay91 Dallas's rush hour is about 7-9am and 4:30-6:30
So true too many tolls, but the roads are SO Rugged, so why so many tolls and the roads are not getting fixs
You're right!
Just moved back from Oklahoma (grew up in North Dallas) and the roads here are much better.
I am already planning to shift in USA, and in dallas only.. Want to stay in dallas downtown only. Like a good spacious 2bed apartment, specially with gym n super market near by...
Check out the National th-cam.com/video/lFqVChaGGrY/w-d-xo.html
EXTREMELY helpful video! Thank you so much!!!👍
You're welcome.
Are the property taxes really high? and how often do tornados occur?
In Dallas County the average tax rate is 2.74%. Fort Worth is a little higher with an average tax rate of 2.77%.
In regards to tornados, last one I recall was 10 or so years ago. ( that caused damage )
Hi there! Love this video. Can you suggest some upscale yet affordable areas weather in the city or suburbs to start getting an idea of housing? Thank you so much!
Absolutely! Send us an email and we'll get you a list asap. info@viprealtyinfo.com
What are some good areas to live in Dallas/Fort Worth area for parents?
Also nearby clubs/bars that make good money! Bartending mom here
Just did a video on top places for family. th-cam.com/video/q4DTBONVe1U/w-d-xo.html
In regards to bars - There's uptown and downtown. However, schools aren't very good. You could work at an upscale restaurant/bar in Frisco or Plano.
Come correct with those attractions. Most of thoses are in Arlington,Tx my city. Which is a 25-30min drive away from Dallas. SIX FLAGS, Texas Rangers stadium, and Cowboys AT&T Stadium. But Dallas the city does have the Mavericks and the Night scenes that Arlington,tx doesnt.
Your right, 6 flags, Ball Park, Cowboys Stadium are in Arlington. A suburb outside of Dallas. However, most people relocation identity these locations with Dallas. So do the football broadcasters. SMH
Dallas County has the Stars and the Mavericks but with that being said the Dallas/Fort Worth area does have a lot of sports with Arlington, TX having the most with the Cowboys, Rangers, Wings, Jackals and E-Sports with that being said other teams in the Dallas/Fort Worth area not in Dallas or Arlington are Nascar with the Texas Motor Speedway which is in Fort Worth, TX then you have Golf with the Byron Nelson in McKinney, Texas and the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas then you have Soccer with FC Dallas in Frisco, Texas then Indoor Football with the Frisco Fighters then you have Indoor Soccer with the Dallas Sidekicks in Allen, Texas then you have the Double A baseball team called the Rough Riders in Frisco, Tx and last the g league team called the Texas Legends in Frisco, TX then you have last the tier II junior ice hockey team called the Lone Star Brahmas in North Richland Hill, Texas
For entertainment doesn't Arlington have Texas Live?
@@Sierra76Spartan Yes
I live in SF Bay area I might move when I retire and sell my house, contemplating moving to the DALLAS or San Antonio area, I keep hearing people are very friendly, am Latino and with a personality. I hope when I retire in 8 years still affordable.
Most people are very friendly in Texas. However, not sure how affordable it will be in 8 years.
It may not be...As West coast States, CA, WA, getting insane expensive year after year despite Covid pandemic effect !!, ( housing prices are still insane in Seattle and not even nice looking ones!), people will seek out to move further east, or southeast where ever they can afford to live and then push up prices...
@@Zitagirl76 That's right. Texas home prices are going UP UP UP.
One month in Dallas now coming from central Jersey😃
What part are you moving to?
I heard Dallas has really nice and big parks for jogging. Waking. Biking. Relaxing. Sports. Any comments? Thanks
Yes. There are many great parks throughout Dallas.
Dallas has crazy weather no doubt, but compared to New England or the midwest, Dallas weather is overall pretty stable and predictable.
Compared to the UK Dallas weather is less variable, always warm and dry, though it does rain a lot during November to January.
Dallas can be very hot and humid during the summer, but it can be chilly to cold during the winter.
I need help moving to Dallas
Send us an email or give us a call and we'd be happy to assist you.
Great video bro thank you! Dallas is somewhere I always wanted to relocate to. Born and raised in Hawaii but currently living in Tacoma, WA. I have a pretty big family so I'm really considering Dallas for the opportunity. My main question is how's the Christian churches? I'd assume there should be a bunch but figure I ask anyway.
Colin Mackenzie There are! Just google “churches in Dallas TX” :) There are quite a few.
I highly recommend Gateway church, they have many campuses around DFW, Great church that is based on the Bible, great worship and great Word of God, You can check us out at Gatewaypeople.com , and yes there’s many churches
@@oscarvega7534 thank you so much for the info! I feel called to be out there for some reason so I'm gonna be obedient and make the move next year. Thanks again Chase and God bless!
@@colinmackenzie6806 so glad to help! you will find an answer with prayer, blessings! btw if you have any questions about Dallas don’t hesitate on asking me here!
There are a lot of wonderful churches throughout DFW.
Thinking about moving from LA to DALLAS like la weather is amazing but tbh it’s crazy expensive out here
It's best to live in Dallas and take several vacations during the summer with the money you save.
Connecticut has bipolar weather but it’s freezing and we get blizzards
Id rather have the heat. lol
I love Dallas. I was there for 3 weeks for a job training and the traffic compared to Southern California is not bad at all. And it's not crowded like SoCal.
Definitely less traffic than SoCal
Great video . Greetings from London 🇬🇧
Thank you. When is the best time to travel to London?
I have POTS so I'm constantly cold. The heat sounds like a pro to me xD
Keep in touch 😂 I maybe moving to Dallas in the future.
Sounds good!
Don't
@@20001mexico 😆😆 ok. I won't! Lol
I moving to Dallas from LA. Hopefully I can help turn Texas blue and make it like LA.
lol don’t
@@gj8128 I joke.
"The first con is traffic"
Coming from Austin, Dallas' traffic might as well be a miracle
True. 35 through downtown Austin is a nightmare.
Have you ever seen Houston traffic that's worse than Dallas and Austin combined!
As an adult foreign tourist, can I rent a car? How easy and affordable it is?
Yes you'll be able to rent a car in Dallas. Price depends on how nice the car is.
Loving the intro music. Vibes!
are there any neighborhoods in Dallas or greater DFW, that are all super contemporary homes?
I wouldn't say all contemporary nieghborhood. However, you can find pockets.
Yeah I like modern homes I wish I knew a city like that
