Yes girl I recently moved to Houston from DC(which I lived for 2 years before that I was in Savannah) but than the pandemic started so I’m hoping I made the right choice.
I stay in Desoto Texas now. Definitely on its way to being the next black Wall Street. I encourage our people to keep flooding this area. Bought a house here when I was 22. I’m now 26
@@Localahhkenn go up north and do what? I live in NYC and I live in the most segregated city in NYC. Staten Island, also known as the Mississippi of the North. I am just itching to get out
It is time that we black people start coming together and start buying out lands so that we can start our own black communities and neighborhoods so that we can start building and empowering ourselves.
@@abelgonzales3695 well if you say that's racist, your going to have to include Little Italy, in New York, Chinatown, East La, which is a all Hispanic Community, Little Saigon, Little India, Little Bangladesh and the list goes on!!! So are these people racist because they want to live amongst there own people??? So Abel Gonzales you are saying Black Americans are racist because they want to live amongst there own people???

@@jarmbrister23 I googled a lot as my main focus was to relocate to a majority Black area. I also found a realtor and came for a weekend to see the different areas. Dallas was nice but the suburbs appealed to me more. And by 'research', I mean all up in the comments of an article to see what the real is lol!
I am a resident of Desoto and own a business in Lancaster. The problem we run into with these communities is that the majority of the black people that live there and make up the most wealth in the community do not actually work there. Typically, the professional people are driving miles to work either to downtown Dallas or even further. I first noticed this when I myself had to commute the 37 miles one-way to Plano everyday for a consulting role. All the traffic flowed to the north in the mornings and to the south in the afternoons. There aren't many black owned businesses in these communities that are employing people in numbers. Also, we typically don't own much land in these communities. That's not always completely our fault though - "they" don't like to sell to us. I've tried to buy a few different properties in my area only to be either hung up on or lied to. Still, in order for us to hold a true stake in the game and really call these "black communites", we'll need to own some of that land. Community investing needs to be our next step
My husband and I just moved here from DC area. What a beautiful place and I miss it but we quickly picked up and moved here to Dallas due to my health problems and I have my family here to help me. He already found a great job working remotely in ux design and we are in a safe area. My daughter was being bullied constantly in DC due to the color of her skin and had no friends. It was stressful and we always struggled with finances too. Now a year later my daughter is happier and has many friends, good neighborhood. We don’t have to stay down, we can do better. Blessings!
Look at how well we do as a people when we live around each other with no outside influences. We can have communities like this anywhere. I loved this so much. Keep these videos coming.

If you wanna live in a strong black community just live in the best southwest . Schools have plenty of resources and some of the best sports. Cities are super safe. Jobs are plenty. Housing is superb.What more could you ask for ? These communities are so welcoming. •DeSoto •Lancaster •Cedar Hill •Duncanville •Glenn Heights •Red oak -Also so many successful black businesses owners in these suburban cities.
Being a Texas Realtor in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex!!! Texas is the Place to Be!! What a blessing to see one of my relatives in the Mesquite, Texas video!!
Can’t believe my area came in as number 1!! 75115 Desoto Tx!! I’m from Houston but live in DeSoto... and i must say i live in an area where judges, CEO’S and some big names in the radio and sports industry reside...
Awesome! My family resides in 75115, Desoto. I’ve recently relocated to the area and my son is apart of the school district. I’m inspired to be in the vicinity of these great minds. Great minds create wealth!
Just so you know the great Southwest consists of Lancaster , DeSoto, Cedar Hill, Duncanville you can take beltline Rd and reach all these cities and they all great shopping areas and entertaining
@@camcneiljr it is alot cheaper on the southern side of town also. I had to drive from Lancaster to my job over at 190 and Jupiter road everyday cause I couldn't afford to stay in Plano.
I Love this channel... At the start of the vid she said, "African American home owners have gravitated to these neighborhood for LOWER CRIME RATES, BETTER SCHOOLS and black neighbors who share their social economic demographic." And I don't blame them not one bit. I always look around and the majority of us just dont want to get it together period. I can go on and on about the stuff that most of our people do that wont further us as a people. But this channel give us hope that we can change and get things together.
KM Hearts My cousin lives & works in DeSoto & loves it! He is a basketball coach/teacher at a DeSoto ISD high school. I’ve only heard great things about the area! There’s also a hospital in DeSoto.
I have been waiting for this when you dropped the Atlanta Video. Thank yall. I'm trying to move to TX and want to live where Black people live just live Prince George County.
I'm from Fort Worth - I'm familiar with the area mentioned - however - all of the things she mentioned "to do" In that area are still white owned - black folks are just migrating to "better areas" In the city - but we don't own anything in the communities.
I am from the DFW area and I'm an educator. Do your research on Desoto ISD before you make that move. The Community is beautiful but there are real challenges with the school district. Doesn't mean it cannot improve but know what you're getting into.
@@adjustwithcaution right? Been in Texas my WHOLE life and never heard of this "Umm-ble" business until this video so don't feel bad Black Excellence lol
Thank you! That drove me crazy 😂 But I figured it was pronounced that way due to not being familiar with the area personally so it was ok. Positive she pronounced Lancaster properly and it’s mispronounced often as well.
me too but 1 seems each city population is very low everybody know everybody business im thinking. 2 im tyna get away from hooglum gangs im from Chicago im tired of hearing Gun Fire im starting to Duck in the house...smh
As someone that moved to Texas from the East Coast, I will say there are pros and cons in every area mentioned. To me, the main con is traffic. The people I know that live in those areas have a 45 min.- 1 hour commute time to get to work every day (not so much so in Ft. Worth). Rest assured, the commute is not fun! Texas drivers are challenged and its good to say a daily prayer when getting on the main highways every morning and evening. In addition, most of the "Southern Tier" cities mentioned near Dallas have those large populations of Blacks because they never move! They and their families have lived ONLY there. While people say they are welcoming, I will tell you ... it's not that simple. Anyone that wants to move here I highly recommend they move as close as they can to where they work. I live next door to Mesquite in a very new community and am quite content. Mainly, because most of the residents are from other cities. Good luck, everyone!
...yep 'they' are still persecuting the poor, 'they' are still murdering the prophets! The city of ft. worth(police) abducted my wife and 4 children(while I was incarcerated)and 'chipped' them all with the mindcontrol chip.my wife was rapped by the hi ranking inmates in the jail.i was also probed.all of this just because I didnt bow down to the 'illuminati'.I'm now a targeted individual,and the voices that I hear in my head(everyday) are the high ranking inmates(youngsters),the witch,and the demon that kept trying to get me to play a 'game'to win my family members back.Now the most high God has plagued the earth with Corona and all I say is "BLAME FT. WORTH TX!" Peace and love
I am loving this video! As a resident of Katy, TX (77494) this really caught my attention. I am very close to and have interest in Richmond and Missouri City, TX now.
I live in California and i heard of the dallas and houston suburbs. So i went out there to check all of them out. Let me tell you, i have never seen a all african american city of atleast 75% of our color and living well with well manicured lawns, mansions, home ownership, black own businesses, and so many professional african americans in my life until i went to desoto. Now i am in the process of closing on a brand new home almost 5k sq footage. I cannot forget you get your bang for your buck in texas as cost of living is waayy lower than California so the home im purchasing the size and area i could not ever own anything close to it where i live. In these comments i see a lot of individuals say this and that about desoto because they live there. If you were born outside of an african american city you will see how us Californians and anyone feel about wanting to come to a city where our ppl are. My kids have been called the N words several times, and family have been looked over for jobs because they dont speak fluent spanish. So by all means our perspectives will be totally different from your perspective as we see things in the light of what you see on tv as our people Are really out here getting killed and abused by not just the police but by neighbors and store owners and etc because we dont have our own living close by and looking out for each other like we did in the 60,70, and 80’s.
There's not really a lot of Black people that actually reside in Frisco like that and you do not get that much bang for your buck. However, Frisco has a great job market for healthcare and tech. It is in close proximity to some large corporations like Chrysler and it's only a few minutes down the tollway from Dallas.
I live in allen another affluent are by Frisco. I'm getting the heck out of here this year, after 9 years. Safe, pretty, good public schools... but I need more... of my own culture and less southern, less pretentiousness.... Raised here in dfw(texas), and lived in Desoto for 15 year before moving to Allen tx.
This was a great video! It made me realize that I'm living in the wrong Texas city (Austin, TX). I would love to live in a city where I see successful people who look like me.
C J I just left Austin recently if you have Instagram please follow @blackwomeninaustin she made that platform for us because Austin is not as inclusive for us. I hope this helps you. 😊
Wow!! I'm thinking of relocating to Austin, rather Pflugerville. I have lived in dfw pretty much my entire life. Now in the affluent allen TX area, after leaving Desoto TX roughly 10 years ago. What's wrong with Austin? Do tell.

I’m relocating from South Jersey & I came to this channel. First y’all convinced me of Prince George’s County, MD, now I’m torn🙁🙁 Texas might’ve won my heart
I'm not surprised i lived in DeSoto for 14 years and I go back all the time (my parents still stay there). The houses on pleasant run have some really rich people living there. School is always improving and we will run it back for another state title in football one day.
I'm thankful the new superintendent stopped all that mess with school board members embezzling money. I just wish they didn't have to shut down northside. That's the elementary school I went to when I moved to desoto from dallas
In the wake of recent events, we black need to pull together, strengthen our shared identity, culture, colour and faith. We need to celebrate ourselves and help one another climb to success.
Fantastic & informative video. This is also right on time as I’m looking to purchase a home in the Dallas suburbs. It’s awesome to see our families thriving! 👏🏿
I’m in Richmond and everything said is true! Everyone wants to move to this area. Beautiful homes, lots of shopping centers, nice eateries and much more.
My in-laws live in Mo-City (Missouri City Tx), it is very nice, there are a lot of African Americans that live there and other people of color, I love it!
I’ve been thinking a lot about relocating to Dallas but all this time, everyone been talking about Frisco, Addison, Plano, McKinney etc. Now I feel like I’ve been researching the wrong areas 😩
I live in Dallas ( all my life) and Frisco is the most impressive place we have in Dallas area. Mainly all new homes, buildings, and beautiful huge mansions! If I win the lottery, that’s where I’m going!
Strong Fathers, Mothersn, Children and Community, will raise everyone up...throw faith in one and another and the highest, you can see how good life can be.
What you saw is sadly correct. I've lived there ( years ago) and also attended school in 99. The schools were polar opposite then. Most of the teachers at the high school and middle schools (whom I know) , will NOT place their own kids in the district. That is telling for any district, what the teachers themselves will not do. Fights, faculty are overly militant, are good group of kids have poor habits (do their sketchy parents that have moved into that area from undesirable areas).... There are so many charter schools, it is unreal. That says a lot about why the need for charter schools? Also, those charter schools are only "slightly better" . Word of advice - unless your kid excels in sports and will be more that likely receiving an athletic scholarship, do not consider desoto isd. Your kids will not get an adequate education, coupled with the behaviors of students. I would be greatly worried. Look up some the videos from students that post from within the classroom - nough said. The area is fine to live in, but the school are horrid! Some neighborhoods are poorly maintained... stay out of Lancaster. If you must live in the area, consider private school. - the teachers have trashed the middle and high schools, behind closed doors. A positive note- most of the elementary schools are blue ribbon (excellent). Honorable mentions to Woodridge elementary. But after elementary- haul them into private school if you can afford it. If you cannot, look elsewhere...if you care about your kids quality of education and integrity of their educators.
Interesting, I'm from DeSoto Tx. My family moved to Desoto in 1986. Me and my brother were the only two black kids in school. Then other black families start moving in from the Dallas area. So in the mid-90s white families began to take what is known as the white-flight. This is where many of the white families moved to areas like Frisco, Addison, Carrollton, and mostly out the South Dallas County area.
On the fence but I’m thinking about buying a house in Texas this helped a lot I am gonna get my kids out of this war zone DC and pg county and Baltimore area I nonviolence happens everywhere but Jesus this area is hell if it were the size of Chicago or nyc easily 10,000 murders a year and everything is overpriced I’m sick of it
I've only been to Cedar Hill but been wanting to move to Desoto! Thank you for making this list! Could you do a list of black owned tech companies please? I'm hoping for a Web Development career when I can move out there.
I grew up in Beaumont in the 70’s and 80’s. My neighborhood or subdivision was all African American with high income. It was a rare neighborhood with black doctors, lawyers, teachers, refinery worker, preacher and entrepreneur. It was called Fleetwood Edition and my family was the first to built in the subdivision in 1969. It was great growing up there, I knew all the neighbors. I didn’t have to worry about being attacked or robbed. Both my parents have past, but still visit the neighborhood when in Beaumont. It’s still doing ok. I cherish the memories.
It’s funny the amount black folk you have here bashing these communities for no other reason than they’re majority black If you don’t think LARGE parts of DeSoto, Cedar Hill and Lancaster are affluent, then you are simply out of the loop. I personally know several millionaires in each city The richest blacks in Dallas are around Joe Pool (South Grand Prairie, Mansfield, Midlothian and part of Cedar Hill) The only white areas that are truly nicer are Highland Park, Southlake, Westlake and small pockets of Frisco.... none of the other cities are nicer than these....unless black skin just cheapens things for you
Desoto, Cedar hill and Duncanville. Really? All three have horrible school systems. Same ol story we care more about our marble countertops and McMansions than the schools they are zoned for.
You need to check yourself bruh. Sure there are some negatives about the school districts in these areas but there are still some good schools within those districts with students who have gone on to college and done great. We need to stop putting our communities down and get involved to make them the best they can be.
Absolutely brilliant video, thank you for informing us in the UK about Black Excellence in Texas...we have 30+ children in our public high schools! My eyes are wide open now 🤩🤩🤩
@@LoriethaC313 have you seen 48 hours? The homicide show? Most of the episodes are taped in OAK CLIFF and south Dallas.. Desoto and cedar hill is 5-6 miles from oak cliff.
Sooooo....Desoto is southern Dallas COUNTY. Oak Cliff/South Dallas are part of the Dallas Metroplex you kinda drive through Oak cliff to get there coming from Dallas. Crime is high in those areas...just like in ANY city, and ALLLLLL the new folk moving to Dallas County isn't helping the situation at all. It's not just good folk moving. Ratchet MF are moving there too.
Great video. I am from the Humble(northeast houston) area (H is silent) we are closer to The Woodlands. However, Richmond is closer to Sugarland area (far southwest houston) Fresno and 77053 are both basically the same area.
I won't lie Dallas is jam packed, but not near as packed as Austin or something. Austin is packed and they don't have enough space to really expand. Dallas was at least big enough to handle this to some extent. I'm from a small town called Texarkana, but I live in DFW now. It's pretty nice.
@@skyychase2132 That's actually not correct. The 'h' is not pronounced in the word 'honour'. (I am not American so I spell honour with the British spelling). Re Humble the place- it is always reasonable to defer to the pronunciation of the residents of the place itself.
I just saw this video, Thank you for this. I am originally from NJ, born and raised, however my parents moved to Texas due to my dad's job (he was an engineer). You never realize when your younger what your parents do for you, and your future. We moved so many times in Texas, until my parents bought their home, which was in Cedar Hill, TX, at the time growing up in Cedar Hill, no one knew where that was, so you always had to say...right outside of Dallas, Lol!!! I graduated from CHHS (🤘 Go Longhorns) and made so many great friends, that I consider family. My brother decided to stay, and he lives in Ft. Worth. We are buying a home in FL, but if i had a choice, i would have chosen Cedar Hill, TX to raise my children. I have grown to love Texas so much, and I would do it all over again (make a few personal changes, Lol!!), but it made me, me right!! Not a Cowboys fan though, Lol!!
I was considering moving to the woodlands... I'm in spring Branch right now. The school my daughter attends is the only reason I'd stay but it's sooooo crowded!!
I would love to hear someone's feedback... My 4-year-old, 3-month-old, and I are looking for a place to call home. We love the community/excellence feel of Cedar Hill, the modern feel of Plano TX, and the beauty of Las Colinas. We are looking for a diverse suburb with a modern feel similar to Las Colinas. Any suggestions?
Check out Allen and Frisco TX! Great diverse cities with excellent school districts. If you’re looking for a majority black community these cities may not satisfy you. However, if you’re looking for a diverse balance, then you’ll find it in both places.
Idk why I’m looking at this... I’m from Frisco Tx... moved to NYC... oh boy I can’t wait to move back to Texas. But I want to move to H-town. Or back to DFW. I was always in DeSoto, Cedar Hill and Lancaster area.
I’m from Dallas which is 5 minutes from mesquite and I’ve never seen this side of it plenty of family members live in the area it is ok but nothing to brag on
Thank you Black Excellist for giving me the privilege and honor of being featured in this video with my choir when we performed at Carnegie Hall last summer!! I had no idea that this video even existed until one of my parents reached out to me to tell me about it and I was truly proud that you included my work! I relocated to Humble 7 years ago and it has truly been a God-send as my career in music education truly skyrocketed once I arrived! Shout out to all of my fellow "Humble-ites" and they are definitely right........the "H" is silent!!! LOL
I wish this video would have been posted six years ago when I moved to Texas. Nevertheless, I'm grateful to have found it. It's important that we live where our people are because my children have experienced extreme levels of racism and discrimination where we live now.
I live in DeSoto...for 6 years now. Lived in Cedar Hill 7 years before that. Cedar Hill’s government, planning, and understanding of economics is by far better and more knowledgeable than DeSoto, but I like DeSoto’s closer location to Dallas. Own 3 rentals in Lancaster...I would take DeSoto or Cedar Hill hands down over Lancaster any day! Politics and elections are like a popularity contest here...qualifications thrown to the side.
My grandparents were from Fort Bend County. I had always visited Richmond, Texas a lot. I am surprised that Pearland and Manvel haven't been mentioned.
These are "black" communities I supposed. Pearland and Manvel and parts of Missouri City (Sienna, Riverstone, Lake Olympia) are more diverse than anything. But there also a lot of black people. I live in Sienna and there's a ton of us there, but its also very diverse. Guessing that's why 77053 and 77489 are mentioned....they're right on the outskirts of the more blended communities. I grew up in 77489, and my HS (Willowridge) was in 77053, and its NOTHING like it was when I lived there.
Does anyone else watch these to figure out where they’re going to settle down?
Yeah I do lol
Yes!!!
Yes
Yes! :-)

This is basically telling me to move to Southern Dallas. I really don’t like leaving in Plano but my job is out here.

I Love this channel... At the start of the vid she said, "African American home owners have gravitated to these neighborhood for LOWER CRIME RATES, BETTER SCHOOLS and black neighbors who share their social economic demographic." And I don't blame them not one bit. I always look around and the majority of us just dont want to get it together period. I can go on and on about the stuff that most of our people do that wont further us as a people. But this channel give us hope that we can change and get things together.

You won’t find anything like PG County in Texas. This is great value compared to that
I'm from Fort Worth - I'm familiar with the area mentioned - however - all of the things she mentioned "to do" In that area are still white owned - black folks are just migrating to "better areas" In the city - but we don't own anything in the communities.
I am from the DFW area and I'm an educator. Do your research on Desoto ISD before you make that move. The Community is beautiful but there are real challenges with the school district. Doesn't mean it cannot improve but know what you're getting into.
I’m thinking of relocating to the area and would love to hear more of your perspective
Explain in depth please.
The "H" in Humble is silent. If I hear someone pronounce the h I always know they aren't from here lol
We are not from Texas. That’s a fact. Thank you for the correction though.
Lol!! I’m from Fort Worth and I said the “h” so you right lol 😂
@@adjustwithcaution right? Been in Texas my WHOLE life and never heard of this "Umm-ble" business until this video so don't feel bad Black Excellence lol
I'm from Texas and didn't realize the H was silence. I've never been there but notice alot of people must be buying houses there.
Thank you! That drove me crazy 😂 But I figured it was pronounced that way due to not being familiar with the area personally so it was ok. Positive she pronounced Lancaster properly and it’s mispronounced often as well.
Proud product of Desoto Texas! The community has been a village of care from since I was a boy until now.

As someone that moved to Texas from the East Coast, I will say there are pros and cons in every area mentioned. To me, the main con is traffic. The people I know that live in those areas have a 45 min.- 1 hour commute time to get to work every day (not so much so in Ft. Worth). Rest assured, the commute is not fun! Texas drivers are challenged and its good to say a daily prayer when getting on the main highways every morning and evening. In addition, most of the "Southern Tier" cities mentioned near Dallas have those large populations of Blacks because they never move! They and their families have lived ONLY there. While people say they are welcoming, I will tell you ... it's not that simple. Anyone that wants to move here I highly recommend they move as close as they can to where they work. I live next door to Mesquite in a very new community and am quite content. Mainly, because most of the residents are from other cities. Good luck, everyone!
I agree with you 💯 👍

...yep 'they' are still persecuting the poor, 'they' are still murdering the prophets! The city of ft. worth(police) abducted my wife and 4 children(while I was incarcerated)and 'chipped' them all with the mindcontrol chip.my wife was rapped by the hi ranking inmates in the jail.i was also probed.all of this just because I didnt bow down to the 'illuminati'.I'm now a targeted individual,and the voices that I hear in my head(everyday) are the high ranking inmates(youngsters),the witch,and the demon that kept trying to get me to play a 'game'to win my family members back.Now the most high God has plagued the earth with Corona and all I say is "BLAME FT.

I am loving this video! As a resident of Katy, TX (77494) this really caught my attention. I am very close to and have interest in Richmond and Missouri City, TX now.
are from texas ? reason I ask is bvecause how is life down there
I am in Katy as well (77449) and I’m also thinking about Richmond
I’m in Richmond and it’s a great place to be, it’s growing very fast!
KATY AKA RICH CITY I CALL IT LOL, NICE VERY NICE HOMES MIGHT I ADD!!!
Both Mo city and Richmond are great.
I live in California and i heard of the dallas and houston suburbs. So i went out there to check all of them out. Let me tell you, i have never seen a all african american city of atleast 75% of our color and living well with well manicured lawns, mansions, home ownership, black own businesses, and so many professional african americans in my life until i went to desoto. Now i am in the process of closing on a brand new home almost 5k sq footage. I cannot forget you get your bang for your buck in texas as cost of living is waayy lower than California so the home im purchasing the size and area i could not ever own anything close to it where i live. In these comments i see a lot of individuals say this and that about desoto because they live there. If you were born outside of an african american city you will see how us Californians and anyone feel about wanting to come to a city where our ppl are. My kids have been called the N words several times, and family have been looked over for jobs because they dont speak fluent spanish. So by all means our perspectives will be totally different from your perspective as we see things in the light of what you see on tv as our people Are really out here getting killed and abused by not just the police but by neighbors and store owners and etc because we dont have our own living close by and looking out for each other like we did in the 60,70, and 80’s.
So it's really racist in Texas? I'm from California thinking of moving that way was wondering if it's really racist?
California is not what people think. I've been in California for 30 yrs can't afford anything. Am moving to Texas .
@@lashonalexander9939 really racist yes

Frisco has more indiana than black though. So the city though beautiful and affluent we dont have enough of us there
yeaaaaa but not that many black people up there. There are more black people in little Elm than Frisco
There's not really a lot of Black people that actually reside in Frisco like that and you do not get that much bang for your buck. However, Frisco has a great job market for healthcare and tech. It is in close proximity to some large corporations like Chrysler and it's only a few minutes down the tollway from Dallas.

That's cool, but Desoto's high school band need to get on the same level as Lancaster's band. LoL
I'm thankful the new superintendent stopped all that mess with school board members embezzling money. I just wish they didn't have to shut down northside. That's the elementary school I went to when I moved to desoto from dallas
@2 Black 2 Strong lol it's definitely not the HOOD, but then again it just depends on where you live.....
In the wake of recent events, we black need to pull together, strengthen our shared identity, culture, colour and faith. We need to celebrate ourselves and help one another climb to success.

Rahmon Key I think it was goin based off population
Are it could be a mask to keep the top of the top blacks away from there. 🤔
Desoto high is a good school..now Lancaster is goto lol
What you saw is sadly correct. I've lived there ( years ago) and also attended school in 99. The schools were polar opposite then.
Most of the teachers at the high school and middle schools (whom I know) , will NOT place their own kids in the district. That is telling for any district, what the teachers themselves will not do.
Fights, faculty are overly militant, are good group of kids have poor habits (do their sketchy parents that have moved into that area from undesirable areas).... There are so many charter schools, it is unreal. That says a lot about why the need for charter schools? Also, those charter schools are only "slightly better" . Word of advice - unless your kid excels in sports and will be more that likely receiving an athletic scholarship, do not consider desoto isd. Your kids will not get an adequate education, coupled with the behaviors of students. I would be greatly worried.
Look up some the videos from students that post from within the classroom - nough said.
The area is fine to live in, but the school are horrid! Some neighborhoods are poorly maintained... stay out of Lancaster.
If you must live in the area, consider private school.
- the teachers have trashed the middle and high schools, behind closed doors.
A positive note- most of the elementary schools are blue ribbon (excellent). Honorable mentions to Woodridge elementary. But after elementary- haul them into private school if you can afford it. If you cannot, look elsewhere...if you care about your kids quality of education and integrity of their educators.
Interesting, I'm from DeSoto Tx. My family moved to Desoto in 1986. Me and my brother were the only two black kids in school. Then other black families start moving in from the Dallas area. So in the mid-90s white families began to take what is known as the white-flight. This is where many of the white families moved to areas like Frisco, Addison, Carrollton, and mostly out the South Dallas County area.
So True cedar hill was all open land in the 90s
If you're kids love sports move to Southern Dallas county
On the fence but I’m thinking about buying a house in Texas this helped a lot I am gonna get my kids out of this war zone DC and pg county and Baltimore area I nonviolence happens everywhere but Jesus this area is hell if it were the size of Chicago or nyc easily 10,000 murders a year and everything is overpriced I’m sick of it
Pg isn't dangerous
I've only been to Cedar Hill but been wanting to move to Desoto! Thank you for making this list!
Could you do a list of black owned tech companies please? I'm hoping for a Web Development career when I can move out there.
I grew up in Beaumont in the 70’s and 80’s. My neighborhood or subdivision was all African American with high income. It was a rare neighborhood with black doctors, lawyers, teachers, refinery worker, preacher and entrepreneur. It was called Fleetwood Edition and my family was the first to built in the subdivision in 1969. It was great growing up there, I knew all the neighbors. I didn’t have to worry about being attacked or robbed. Both my parents have past, but still visit the neighborhood when in Beaumont. It’s still doing ok. I cherish the memories.
That’s where my fam is from Beaumont and PA TX 🙌🏽
I went to Lamar University from 1981 to 1987 I think i remember the neighborhood you are referring to .Is this area not to far from Washington Avenue?
Yes, the neighbor is off Washington BLVD
It’s funny the amount black folk you have here bashing these communities for no other reason than they’re majority black
If you don’t think LARGE parts of DeSoto, Cedar Hill and Lancaster are affluent, then you are simply out of the loop.
I personally know several millionaires in each city
The richest blacks in Dallas are around Joe Pool (South Grand Prairie, Mansfield, Midlothian and part of Cedar Hill)
The only white areas that are truly nicer are Highland Park, Southlake, Westlake and small pockets of Frisco....
none of the other cities are nicer than these....unless black skin just cheapens things for you
Not mentioned but the homes in Oak Cliff (Bar Habor) are nice...and Lord...the homes on Pleasant Run from Desoto to Cedar Hill are beautiful.
Shouldn’t Publish this. THEY may do another black wall street massacre
What is sad many of the police is still majority white. 😏
Fat Vegan : Why?
brianvi Vickers answer is in my comment
Fat Vegan ,all those areas should have their own Police force
Everyone is packing. Texas is open carry state
Desoto, Cedar hill and Duncanville. Really? All three have horrible school systems. Same ol story we care more about our marble countertops and McMansions than the schools they are zoned for.
You need to check yourself bruh. Sure there are some negatives about the school districts in these areas but there are still some good schools within those districts with students who have gone on to college and done great. We need to stop putting our communities down and get involved to make them the best they can be.

I just saw this video, Thank you for this. I am originally from NJ, born and raised, however my parents moved to Texas due to my dad's job (he was an engineer). You never realize when your younger what your parents do for you, and your future. We moved so many times in Texas, until my parents bought their home, which was in Cedar Hill, TX, at the time growing up in Cedar Hill, no one knew where that was, so you always had to say...right outside of Dallas, Lol!!! I graduated from CHHS (🤘 Go Longhorns) and made so many great friends, that I consider family. My brother decided to stay, and he lives in Ft. Worth. We are buying a home in FL, but if i had a choice, i would have chosen Cedar Hill, TX to raise my children.

I would love to hear someone's feedback... My 4-year-old, 3-month-old, and I are looking for a place to call home. We love the community/excellence feel of Cedar Hill, the modern feel of Plano TX, and the beauty of Las Colinas. We are looking for a diverse suburb with a modern feel similar to Las Colinas. Any suggestions?
Check out Allen and Frisco TX! Great diverse cities with excellent school districts. If you’re looking for a majority black community these cities may not satisfy you. However, if you’re looking for a diverse balance, then you’ll find it in both places.
I suggest Grand Prairie, Arlington and Mansfield Texas...modern, diverse, and beautiful. Not very far from Cedar Hill.
Idk why I’m looking at this... I’m from Frisco Tx... moved to NYC... oh boy I can’t wait to move back to Texas. But I want to move to H-town. Or back to DFW.

My grandparents were from Fort Bend County. I had always visited Richmond, Texas a lot. I am surprised that Pearland and Manvel haven't been mentioned.
These are "black" communities I supposed. Pearland and Manvel and parts of Missouri City (Sienna, Riverstone, Lake Olympia) are more diverse than anything. But there also a lot of black people. I live in Sienna and there's a ton of us there, but its also very diverse. Guessing that's why 77053 and 77489 are mentioned....they're right on the outskirts of the more blended communities. I grew up in 77489, and my HS (Willowridge) was in 77053, and its NOTHING like it was when I lived there.
