This video hits so many essential points I wish it were available before I moved. It’s different when you move somewhere blind and learn all this painfully vs come prepared with what to expect and plan appropriately. This is a great guide on moving to Dallas
Thanks for watching Chloe.
A spray foamed/radiant barrier conditioned attic space house is a must. New construction workmanship is garbage though, get a good inspection.
@everss02 it’s an option, but not cheap. Those who are wondering here is an article discussing general costs to add spray foam.

I'm a transplant from NY...no lies detected here... this is exactly what i tell people who want to move here
Thanks @lancemathew426 for the feedback and watching the video.
Airport, get dropped off/picked up at the Car rental Center, way cheaper, no toll for airport.
Thanks for the tips @everss02
Great video. Any talk about removing the toll fees on any of the toll roads?
Not that I have heard, the tollways are run by non profit companies who collected the tolls to maintain them and pay for the bonds that were issued to pay for the projects. So in all likelihood will only go up as cost of living goes up is my guess.
why? they keep them in perfect shape, it's worth the money to drive them most the time
22:13 think about moving to Mansfield. What is the deal with property tax for 100% Disabled Veterans? Exemption or No? Thank you
Thanks for watching and reaching out. Sure thing, here are a few resources for you to check into. As property taxes are assessed by the county the home is in you would also need to review that as well.

We live in Denton County, so here is how Denton County

We are near Mansfield and we are exempt through VA disability
Thanks for sharing, my question is what about the job market? I just worried about not finding a job in Dallas.
Of course there are no guarantees in life, but current unemployment numbers were showing 3.3% which is historically low. So really depends on what you do for a living and how motivated you are.
ycharts.com/indicators/dallasfort_worth_tx_unemployment_rate_csa#:~:text=Dallas%2DFort%20Worth%2C%20TX%20Unemployment%20Rate%20is%20at%203.30%25,long%20term%20average%20of%205.17%25.
Advice for landscaping: Gravel and cactus. And water that foundation!
Well, that’s definitely the easy way to go 😉. Reminds me of Arizona. The good thing about the DFW metro is that it gets decent rain annually, so you can have grass, plants and trees. The summer at times can be very dry and hot. So may require more watering. This spring we have more water that we know what to do with. Seems like 2 to 3 inches every couple of days.
How common are blackouts due to storms?
We have not had one in years, it’s usually caused by downed trees and limbs onto power lines from storms and ice buildup up. Most newer communities power lines are below ground, thus not affected by that. Still have an occasional construction project digging in the wrong place though. So to your original question, not very often. If anything it would be when temps are very high in the summer and usage for air conditioning is extremely high, but even then has not happened very often.
Ok wow! Now tell us why come to D/F area. Lol
Work is what brought us to Dallas initially. My husband took a position here in the logistics industry. We also loved the strong family environment and culture here in the area. There is so much to do, for as much as people knock on the schools, most of the schools we have been a part of have been excellent. Not to mention the economy here is awesome, you can find a job in most industries out here. I had 2 clients now relocate to Dallas for a job, and end of leaving that job for a better one within a year. So many opportunities.
@@livingindfw Thanks for the prompt and insightful response.
You never mentioned what you guys paid per month for property tax?
Thanks Lee for watching and commenting. We paid about $7000 or so, but as I indicated, it really depends on where you live.
@@livingindfw bless you for replying, we will be moving from U.k to Dallas soon and was just interested that all. Thanks for your vids, me and my partner appreciate them
@leetowers5668 you bet, like I say in my videos love helping people move to Dallas.

No one talks about the library. Why not?
In terms of it being affordable? Library is pretty affordable yes 😉
