28/F/AA Moving to the Dallas area for work. Any recommendations for best neighborhoods/apartments to live (open to places outside Dallas too)? I would be commuting to Frisco for work, so preferably something not too far out. Also, prefer to stay somewhere that’s close to good restaurants, nightlife, etc.

Maybe Addison if you don’t want to be too far from frisco. Look in the Addison circle

I also vote Addison (31 year old guy) it’s a fun area, close enough to uptown, cheaper costs than uptown too

Frisco is far out. Dallas would be a heck of a commute. I will be honest though: if you’re AA, Addison may be your best fit up north…but it’s still a little ways.

Issue with Addison is, not much night life .. just 2 weekends ago I walked into a popular bar and it hardly had 10 people on late Saturday night .. it is bad

Look in Frisco or McKinney. No need to be anywhere else with that commute. Frisco has everything.

I’m looking around now and realize there’s a lot close by. Thanks!

Are you committing to Frisco for a project? If so, you might try to find a short term lease near your office…giving you flexibility as you get more familiar with DFW area.

Dumb question but what does AA mean?

I thought it’s Asian American

D? Is that you?

Lots of places in Frisco/surrounding if you want to have an easier commute. Dallas proper would be quite a drive to get to work.

Depends on which way you want to commute from. 75 or Dallas North Tollway (i.e. tolls but with shorter commute). What are your priorities?

Why not just live in Frisco? Reasonable housing prices. Lots of great ethnic foods in North Dallas (ton of Asian food and Ethiopian); don't really know about other cuisines. People are pretty nice out there.

Plano west is quite decent, around legacy west area

This ..but place dies down past 10pm .. except for 2-3 joints .. means not much night life in this side of dfw

The south west part of The Colony
