You have three majority-black suburbs in southern Dallas. Cedar Hill, Lancaster and DeSoto Texas if you're moving to Dallas and wondering where the black communities are.
@ravenbrevard1843 some of the wealthiest blacks in Dallas live in these areas. There's definitely safe communities here for children. But do your own research and make the best decision for you and your family.
@Falcon_Serbia your statement just shows why you can never relax around whites. Everything about your existence has been evil, and it shows that every chance you all get y'all will let y'all True Colors come out
Im from texas and have a habit of saying hello or "how ya doin" to people i pass by while walking, shopping, or whatever. I moved to kansas and when i would do that people would look at me weird. Some were even rude about it. Funny how different areas can be so different.
Great video! I would add, that you have to make public transportation work for you and not the other way around. If you don't have a car, don't move and work where there is less public transit. If you don't have a car Dallas has plenty of options. Be smart when looking for a place to live.
hail is rare... you might get some tiny pebble size hail if youre lucky. Perhaps Ive been lucky but Ive lived in Dallas for decades and never ever had a car damaged.
Accurate about the tech sector. Just relocated to Dallas for work edit: would love to hear more about networking. I'd definitely watch a video on particular meet-ups and conferences in the area
We pay almost 50% income tax - live in Toronto, Canada. And high property tax. Hubby was offered an exec position in US, and Texas may be the area for us! Ty for the info.
Also, the bbq in texas is A-1, but ill tell you what i miss the most about texas since moving.. the Tex-Mex food. Tex-Mex is different than Mexican food. Mexican folks that grew up in texas and maybe who've been here for a few generations have put their own spin on mexican dishes and theyre fantastic. You cant get mexican food anywhere else like you get in texas. I also like the cajun foods in texas, especially since Katrina happened and a lot of folks from louisiana moved to texas. That stuff is the bomb too. Also a lot of asian folks are moving to texas. You're right man, so many food choices! I miss that about Texas, for sure! Nice video.
Have lived in Dallas for over 25 years. Our summers are definitely hot! But compared to places along the east and gulf coasts, the humidity is not bad at all. The sun is just strong. Traffic sucks. Drivers are aggressive and not accommodating to others.
The mild winters and perfectly weathered spring and fall makes up for the horrible summer heat tbh. I lived in Virginia for a few years and i’d happily put up with the heat for a few hours during the day than those demon time depressing winters. 8 foot of snow -10 degrees and still gotta go to work and school ain’t no joke folks.
You mean about 8 months of unbearable heat and humidity, mosquitos, horrible allergies, and ice storms. Two months of nice weather in the whole year. I know I lived that hell hole for years. So glad I escaped to the west coast
@@mrbillinsfJanuary to April is great weather and October to December is also great weather. It’s mostly unbearable June to August but at night it’s not so bad compared to colder states it’s cold all day all night. Texas hardly gets ice storms so I don’t know what you mean. The west coast do have great weather not gonna argue there. But me personally I need some type of four seasons, I love leaf changes and don’t mind some cooler temperatures around Christmas.
On point 👌🏾🙌🏾, the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area has a lot going for it….lots of roads/bridges infrastructure that keeps traffic moving, a not so congested airport, job opportunities, etc
Great video. Any specific towns you would recommend for families with children? I’m looking for a good school district for my son. He’s a Freshman in high school.
Dude... Very Well Done, and this is coming from a white Babyboomer. I'm not interested in moving to Dallas, however, I appreciated the technical professionalism & Your "delivery" so much, I watched til the end. 👍
Coming from Cali our gas is $4.99; add or take a few cents depending which part. I’m specifically talking about Northern Central Valley Cali. Everything is over priced out here.
Good call on the drivers, rear ended twice is 7 months, 2nd totaled my car. Missed a few, 1. There’s a massive sort of underground fitness community with more variety in gyms and classes than I could have imagined. 2. Even with that, there’s a bifurcated population, 1 super fit, 1 super obese. 3. The dating market is overflowing with single mothers. They get married at about 15 1/2, stopping dropping kinds and then you’re dealing with them in their 30s. See also number 2!
I've lived in Dallas for 43 years. I live in the beautiful Lake and Garden District around White Rock Lake--Lakewood, Lochwood, Little Forest Hills. My neighbors are wonderful and only place where I've lived where I actually know my neighbors. Lots of trees, creeks, and the beautiful White Rock Lake Park. Best place in Dallas. It's like living in a small town. I've lived in the suburbs (won't make that mistake again), Uptown and the Park Cities. The suburbs are usually treeless, hot, with horrible traffic especially if you commute into Dallas . However, atleast Dallas does have DART mass transit. Best city in Texas to live. Yes, summers are very hot and horrible. Also, before you move to Texas be aware of the horrible, outdated, electric grid, and do thorough research. The San Antonio Express did a comparison between Texas and California and I was surprised that California is cheaper. Taxes, utilities, etc. are high. If you are afraid of hail damage to your roof as I was I put a Class 4 roof on my house that helps reduce the chances of hail damage when I replaced it. Costs a little bit more but it's worth the peace of mind.
Hell yeah, I love it in Texas. I live in Sachse next to garland and plano area... Dallas county... Its is Hot. I upgrade my A/C unit from a 3 ton to 5ton for my 2300 sq ft home to combat that Texas Heat!
As an Australian living in ontario canada, im considering moving my family to texas these videos have been helpful in deciding whether or not its a good idea. Even the "cons" you mention feel like improvements fromy our current way of life have you assisted anyone making a similar move? How are foreigners welcomed? Texas seems like such an incredible place to raise our child and grow our careers and im having a hard time finding any reasons not to move, it almost feels to good to be true!
Awesome that’s why I made the channel. Dallas is great man overall. Especially a good landing spot for families. We actually helped a family move from Toronto. So feel free to reach out and we can help
@DallasRelocationGuide that's fantastic to hear! We will definitely reach out once we get the ball rolling on this new adventure towards a brighter future in a much more sustainable part of the world! I appreciate your reply and look forward to hopefully working with you in our move!
You can keep Dallas, Houston, even San Antonio. I don't want to have anything to do with Texas. Like Florida, they need to get rid of the governors. Too much hate!
yet people are moving here in droves, along with big corporations and businesses. hmm.... Might want to take a more bipartisan view of things. Califorexodus is a real thing
I just came across your channel right now! Whats your opinion about electricians industry? Whats best to start off after i move from Philadelphia the Dallas or Houston area?
man you are good in either city really. SO much residential and commercial construction going on in both. I like dallas more because we dont have to worry about any type of serious flooding but I may just be biased.
This video came out a year ago? Yeah…northern rural CA gas prices were knocking on the door of 6 per gallon or over at some stations. It’s gone down since then but it’s still rough.
Tks a lot for your highlights im from the Congo i have been contacted by a company telling me i can by a land in Canton with a 10% down payment and a monthly fee for 30 years I'm wondering how can this possible if i have no usa citizen ship or green card
I like the DFW area but not Dallas in particular. I’d rather work north or west of Dallas. I currently work from home, live 20 min east of Dallas and love it.
I live here inDallas and the people are not as friendly as he described !! And there are jobs but not like he’s describing and traffic sucks here! Texas is hot bad drivers and miserable!!! Don’t move here
I live in Virginia and here I would need 2 to 3 jobs and a roommate or 2. Im not tied down to nothing #TeamNokids lol. But I hear in Texas it’s overall cheaper down south & I’m really liking Dallas from what I hear about it. Any advice on moving tips or like advice on how to face your fears of moving VA 2 TX
It really just depends on where you wanna be. What your overall vibe is and how you wanna move with the city. Some folks like ot be in the scene, brunching, and clubbing. Some like the relaxed vibes with some soul and lounge type events.
You couldn’t have said it any better we are from Ca, where people are nice we got transferred down here with our job G.M. This state sucks flat dry as hell and humid and a lot of pollution!
@@DallasRelocationGuide DeSoto, Cedar hill, Arlington, Plano, Terrell, Mesquite. I remember when I first got here coming off the 67 at Joe Wilson, I asked a man could he could let me over to turn, and he got mad, so I just passed the point, and reset my maps,. I wasn't familiar with the area yet. Born Texas, raised in California. That had never happened in my 45 years of driving, bullies in their big trucks on the highway, just horrible. This heat got me rethinking it all, the reasons I came have passed on, so I'm thinking about moving on. I need more cold than hot.
Completely true. Texas people are pretty 😍 much the best 🎉 kind and conservative but loving and accepting at the same time. People sometimes act surprised that all my black grandchildren are all highly loved here. Don’t always believe the “bad” report ❤
DFW is a MIX of all party sentiments... not sure where the idea of DFW being conservative comes from. The surrounding counties outside of DFW are red... but the metroplex itself (Denton, Dallas, Collin and Tarrant) always seem to swing blue. Anyway, people moving here dont need to have the idea that DFW is Red... its a mix
I’m thinking of moving here from London. Can anyone help me pick a good neighbourhood? I’m a golfer and I have a dog so something relatively upbeat and not too urban and good transportation links. Does that exist?
Easily, He drives from 3:30 am (longer trips as no ubers want to drive that early and most people are going long distances) to about 9am and makes around $160 per day. Multiply that by 5 days or six or seven and you have a nice little income and time to do more things
@@DallasRelocationGuide this is awesome information man thank you . I’m also hearing the roads are in pretty good shape and the traffic isn’t half as bad as it is here in Boston. It’s good to know I don’t need a ton of money saved to get there Bc I can start working right away
@@DallasRelocationGuideWorst advice I have ever seen in my life. "Makes" $160 a day. I assume you just look at the number Uber gives you... You need to be doing $40/hr pre expense to "make" anything worthwhile with Uber. $30/hr is just him extracting liquidity by wearing down his car, plus minimum wage. Even worse that it is night shift.
@@Null-o7j your wrong. even if he is extracting it from the car that's fine because he has cashing hand to get things done and to invest in other things, its like taking a loan. have you ever taken a loan? some money in hand in the right now is better than trying to save in the long run on some car. money now gives him the stepping stone. dont be pennywise pound foolish.
I think you missed the higher than average crime rates, insane health insurance premiums, home insurance premiums, and auto insurance premiums in the list of cons.
A few places I know had very low violent crime rates were Sachse, Colleyville, I think also some northern suburbs of Plano/Dallas were decent, Mckinney etc. Also Grapevine/Flower Mound/Coppell/Trophy Club area is good.
Ok, so when this video talks about Dallas, you actually mean the area locally we mean North Central Texas which folks outside of north Texas may not understand. That’s MANY different cities, btw, which each have own vibe, culture, infrastructure, etc. Do your research before moving!!
I'm from Fort Worth, born and raised. ⭐️ I agree with the entire segment. Great and accurate info! 👍🏾EXCEPT...it's not true. CALIFORNIA has the worse drivers of any state. SPIT on the road and they'll go spinning out of control here. 😟 You think the reason why traffic is creaping is because there is an accident ahead of you...and it IS...ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WALL for traffic going in the opposite direction. 😖 RUBBERNECKERS!! 😤 Then there is the mystery of the "fast lane stop"...as the far right lanes flow. 🥴 MERGING? Forget it. 😕 "Single file" was taught to elementary school kids everywhere EXCEPT for in California. ☹️
Just depends on which tax. No state income tax puts money in your pocket. High property taxes increases mortgage payments which increases the rent subsequently
5:59 H-E-B doesn't stand for "Here Everything's Better", that's a backronym for marketing purposes. The name of the supermarket chain comes from the initials of the long-time leader of the company, Howard Edward Butt. th-cam.com/video/dFKArEu-Qzc/w-d-xo.html
drive friendly the Texas Way, with a friendly WAVE. too much hostility on the roads yall, get off your phone, be patient, give a wave to your fellow DFWians.
Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.
I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second daughter. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks...
@@AlilatTiamiyu Quitting may not be the best approach if you ask me. This is where an AI comes into the picture. I barely have time to trade myself as my job swallows up most of my time. *MARGARET MOLLI ALVEY*
What about heavy equipment repairs? We have a large family and business and thinking of taking it to Texas as California is getting ridiculous! Any advice would help! Kids schools matter as well. 🤔
As a native Texan it's not us that don't know how to drive it's the people moving from 49 different states to Texas that can't drive. Dallas always get hail when Houston ,San Antonio never get it like that.
I agree but I would add Dallas may have the Dallas "Cowboys" ? But Dallas is NOT Cowboy at all ! That may be a plus or minus for you ? But if you want a Texas Western feel, Dallas is not it.
I’ve lived in Richardson, Plano, Plano downtown, Dallas Arts District & Denton. Wherever work took me basically. But finally decided to move to Portland for the change of scenery.
@@jdizzle22396 moved here from Sydney, Australia. I love Dallas for what it is but man if you love nature or hikings or any sort of stuffs like that then you've actually got 0 options
I can't believe you didn't mention DEALEY PLAZA the President Kennedy assassination spot & the adjoining 6th Floor museum.....1 Million come to pay their respects from all over the world 🌎

Definitely didn’t know about the hail storms. That’s good info
Yes sir, it’s usually around the same time every year so you can at least be prepared for it
hail is rare... you might get some tiny pebble size hail if youre lucky. Perhaps Ive been lucky but Ive lived in Dallas for decades and never ever had a car damaged.

@@DallasRelocationGuide DeSoto, Cedar hill, Arlington, Plano, Terrell, Mesquite. I remember when I first got here coming off the 67 at Joe Wilson, I asked a man could he could let me over to turn, and he got mad, so I just passed the point, and reset my maps,. I wasn't familiar with the area yet. Born Texas, raised in California. That had never happened in my 45 years of driving, bullies in their big trucks on the highway, just horrible. This heat got me rethinking it all, the reasons I came have passed on, so I'm thinking about moving on. I need more cold than hot.
I go into Dallas as well.
Completely true. Texas people are pretty 😍 much the best 🎉 kind and conservative but loving and accepting at the same time. People sometimes act surprised that all my black grandchildren are all highly loved here. Don’t always believe the “bad” report ❤
I totally agree, really just depends on you
Texas is not as conservative as you are led to believe.
Ugh, yes it is very conservative, you may be in a bubble
DFW is a MIX of all party sentiments... not sure where the idea of DFW being conservative comes from. The surrounding counties outside of DFW are red... but the metroplex itself (Denton, Dallas, Collin and Tarrant) always seem to swing blue. Anyway, people moving here dont need to have the idea that DFW is Red... its a mix
Appreciate it fam ... #uno
Love this!! Do y’all have Publix as well?
We do I know there is one in downtown and maybe a couple more around the metro but it’s not one of the major stores around here
@@DallasRelocationGuide Ok bet, thank you so much!
We do not have Publix in Texas at all 😂
HEB stands for Howard E. Butt, the founder's son. HEB started in Central Texas. It's very new to North Texas
Hey how about the Desta restaurant in Dallas on Greenville it's an Ethiopian restaurant and the food is great.
I am going to have to try that one. I had never even heard of it. Good find
I’m thinking of moving here from London.
Can anyone help me pick a good neighbourhood?
I’m a golfer and I have a dog so something relatively upbeat and not too urban and good transportation links. Does that exist?
Texans are angry because it's gotten toooo crowded.
Lol it’s definitely because of the heat
It's always hot here in the summer. That's nothing new.
And pricey
yeah, prolly a good idea to get your vehicles plates changed ASAP. all your FLoridians and Californians!!!! LOLZ
So it’s possible to get to Dallas and start doing Uber full time and pay your bills until your land a different job ?
Easily, He drives from 3:30 am (longer trips as no ubers want to drive that early and most people are going long distances) to about 9am and makes around $160 per day. Multiply that by 5 days or six or seven and you have a nice little income and time to do more things
@@DallasRelocationGuide this is awesome information man thank you . I’m also hearing the roads are in pretty good shape and the traffic isn’t half as bad as it is here in Boston. It’s good to know I don’t need a ton of money saved to get there Bc I can start working right away
@@vincentpassi8403 Yea man that is the power of the share economy here. If you have the hustle, its out here for you to earn.
@@DallasRelocationGuideWorst advice I have ever seen in my life. "Makes" $160 a day. I assume you just look at the number Uber gives you... You need to be doing $40/hr pre expense to "make" anything worthwhile with Uber. $30/hr is just him extracting liquidity by wearing down his car, plus minimum wage. Even worse that it is night shift.
@@Null-o7j your wrong. even if he is extracting it from the car that's fine because he has cashing hand to get things done and to invest in other things, its like taking a loan. have you ever taken a loan? some money in hand in the right now is better than trying to save in the long run on some car. money now gives him the stepping stone. dont be pennywise pound foolish.
IMO the ppl are not more friendly down here. It’s just more affordable and even that is changing!
I gotcha, What part did you end up moving to?
@@DallasRelocationGuide Killeen/Ft Hood to DFW (McKinney, DeSoto, Waxahachie)
I don’t want to live there but I would visit it one day
I think you missed the higher than average crime rates, insane health insurance premiums, home insurance premiums, and auto insurance premiums in the list of cons.
Stay tuned for the next vid where we cover that part
Texas highways are scary gave me a panic attack
I understand frfr. I’ve had a couple of close calls
I just realized the gas prices are much cheaper like half of WA, CA. However, you end up driving more and longer distances.
You hit the nail on the head, you’re definitely going to end up driving a lot here in Dallas and Texas in general
How dangerous is Dallas? You mentioned it has a great education system but doesnt the crime rate just ruin that for families?
Most people who move to DAllas move to the suburbs. The inner circle does have a higher crime rate than the suburbs
He was just nice to watch 😊
What are the safe parts of Dallas for women to move?
If it were my daughter I would say addison, Plano, or Frisco. Las Colinas and Carrolton are good spots as well
A few places I know had very low violent crime rates were Sachse, Colleyville, I think also some northern suburbs of Plano/Dallas were decent, Mckinney etc. Also Grapevine/Flower Mound/Coppell/Trophy Club area is good.
Ok, so when this video talks about Dallas, you actually mean the area locally we mean North Central Texas which folks outside of north Texas may not understand. That’s MANY different cities, btw, which each have own vibe, culture, infrastructure, etc. Do your research before moving!!
@pamelaspooner7183 well what are the nicest part on the outskirts of dallas?
@@girlwithpearlsthe first comment is the answer to your question
I'm from Fort Worth, born and raised. ⭐️ I agree with the entire segment. Great and accurate info! 👍🏾EXCEPT...it's not true. CALIFORNIA has the worse drivers of any state.
SPIT on the road and they'll go spinning out of control here. 😟 You think the reason why traffic is creaping is because there is an accident ahead of you...and it IS...ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WALL for traffic going in the opposite direction. 😖 RUBBERNECKERS!! 😤
Then there is the mystery of the "fast lane stop"...as the far right lanes flow. 🥴
MERGING? Forget it. 😕 "Single file" was taught to elementary school kids everywhere EXCEPT for in California. ☹️
You have a some good points!
I used to think this until I went back to Dallas and drove. Then I thought California drivers are better. lol.
How do the taxes effect renters?
Just depends on which tax. No state income tax puts money in your pocket. High property taxes increases mortgage payments which increases the rent subsequently
5:59 H-E-B doesn't stand for "Here Everything's Better", that's a backronym for marketing purposes. The name of the supermarket chain comes from the initials of the long-time leader of the company, Howard Edward Butt. th-cam.com/video/dFKArEu-Qzc/w-d-xo.html
Wow I gotta stop listening to their commercials. False advertisement smh
@@DallasRelocationGuide LMAO it's like NJM Insurance - that doesn't stand for "No Jingles or Mascots" 😀
@@DallasRelocationGuide😂😂😂 been in Texas forever, always known it as here everything’s better so I’ll go with that 😂
drive friendly the Texas Way, with a friendly WAVE. too much hostility on the roads yall, get off your phone, be patient, give a wave to your fellow DFWians.
No seriously people really drive the wrong way on one ways
That's a beautiful couch, big man
And the floor plan is spacious
Good on you
Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.
I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second daughter. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks...
@@AlilatTiamiyu Quitting may not be the best approach if you ask me. This is where an AI comes into the picture. I barely have time to trade myself as my job swallows up most of my time. *MARGARET MOLLI ALVEY*
@@YinusaSaheed Oh please I’d love that. Thanks!
*MARGARET MOLLI ALVEY*
Lookup with her name on the webpage..
What about teaching? Is that in demand?
Yes!
Absolutely, the growth of Dallas and the suburbs has teachers in HIGH demand. It’s not even funny how easy it is to snag a good position
What about heavy equipment repairs? We have a large family and business and thinking of taking it to Texas as California is getting ridiculous! Any advice would help! Kids schools matter as well. 🤔
@@selenacuriel955 oh yea construction is big business here so by default repairs are in high demand. Plus the cities are constantly working on roads.
@@DallasRelocationGuide thank you!
As a native Texan it's not us that don't know how to drive it's the people moving from 49 different states to Texas that can't drive. Dallas always get hail when Houston ,San Antonio never get it like that.
I agree 100%
I must have visited a different Dallas
@@Jacksonms601 Lol what do you mean?
Haha! Which Texas are you from where they can drive?!😂😂😂😂
@@DallasRelocationGuide People from Texas definitely drive crazy almost as bad as we do now in Mississippi. I guess we are in the same boat lol..
I thing this is a good pros and cons video.
Your support means a lot! I appreciate your kind words.
HEB IS THE BEST GROCERY STORE ❤
Best wishes from iran❤
Thank you so much for your kind wishes! Sending positive vibes right back to you from wherever you are!
You are very wrong about drivers in Texas. They are so so chill compared to Italy, Salvador and Miami.
The best really
What side of town are you driving on?
5:09 he’s advertising street meat, yall. 😂
Best in texas!
Dallas is not jumping, but it’s a good place to buy a home. Plus Dallas has no natural lakes. Traffic is good.
Thanks for your comment!
You don’t have a clue.
White Rock Lake used to be an ancient sea!
I agree but I would add Dallas may have the Dallas "Cowboys" ? But Dallas is NOT Cowboy at all ! That may be a plus or minus for you ? But if you want a Texas Western feel, Dallas is not it.
I love my loft apartment for $1350.
That's awesome! Loft apartments have such a unique charm.
@@DallasRelocationGuide True!
Dallas used to be lovely but now it is horrible. Try calling the police, they are not at home.
I know I’ve heard that downtown does have a shortage
I’ve been living here for the past 8 years and as much as it hurts to leave but have to admit Dallas is bland af.
Dang which area do you live in?
I’ve lived in Richardson, Plano, Plano downtown, Dallas Arts District & Denton. Wherever work took me basically. But finally decided to move to Portland for the change of scenery.
How can Dallas be bland? You must be from NYC or something lol
@@jdizzle22396 moved here from Sydney, Australia. I love Dallas for what it is but man if you love nature or hikings or any sort of stuffs like that then you've actually got 0 options
Ya and you guys pay carpenters nothing down there. No unions no nothing. I would have to live in my car there.
Thanks for sharing your perspective on the carpentry scene.
I can't believe you didn't mention DEALEY PLAZA the President Kennedy assassination spot & the adjoining 6th Floor museum.....1 Million come to pay their respects from all over the world 🌎
It’s coming in future videos! I couldn’t fit all that Dallas has to offer in one. Subscribe and stay tuned
