How’s Southlake for a family of four with a 4yo and 1yo? Not from Dallas but looking to relocate. Schools and safety are priorities for the wife and I.

I live in Keller right next door with 4 kids under 8 years old. Your commute will be under an hour if there’s no heavy traffic, but there are tolls to help skip bad areas. Schools and safety are no problem in south lake. Just use greatschools.com to review the school. Welcome to the neighborhood!

Live in Southlake and worked downtown and Plano.
Traffic is between 35 mins to 1hrish depending on traffic / wrecks / tools.
For what it’s worth - I live on the edge closer to Westlake and sometimes if traffic is bad it takes me 15 mins to get to the Grapevine border.

Safety and schools are top notch.
I grew up in the Southlake area and came back to get a ‘starter’ home there since it’s a great place to raise a family.

Feel free to DM me with any questions - more than happy to provide any insight / anecdotes!

Downtown Dallas, Fort worth, or Southlake?

The three are pretty different so it really depends on what you are looking for. Dallas and Fort Worth have very different feels and whether you public or private school in either can largely depend on the neighborhood you choose. The urban neighborhoods with the best elementary schools will have correspondingly higher property values so many factor the cost of private school in when considering where to live.

Southlake is an upscale suburb so you get the pluses and minuses of that, but if you like suburban living, it’s nice and very convenient to DFW.

Hi fishes,

Service bAsed companies are not releasing offers nowadays. I have left looking for offers from any of service based companies. Except TCS, All are frauds and TCS won’t pay much anyway so done. They will lure you to give interviews and later when all rounds are done and docs are submitted, they will come and say we can’t pay you. I have faced the same with capegemini, tech Mahindra, infosys, cognizant. Is this the case with anyone ? Or am I the only one with bad luck
