Market is v. hot right now in FLL so don’t know if financially it will be a bad decision. Have visited both areas. If FLL we were looking at Collee Hammock, rio vista or Victoria park neighborhoods. If Dallas we were thinking university park, or nearby neighborhoods like Preston hollow, lower Greenville, etc. any perspectives on pros/cons or how life has been for you if you’ve lived there would be really helpful. Thanks!

Lived in both. If I had kids, Florida anyday. Lots to do and better weather!

Does hurricane season affect FLL? That would be one consideration.

Hi everyone, I’m an architectural designer (from Europe) with 1.5 yrs experience. I’m working for a practice in San Francisco, full-time from the office, getting 25 an hour. It is so expensive to live here, I am struggling to make things work. Is this a normal salary for someone of my experience or should I ask for a raise? I don’t want to be greedy but it’s so expensive out here… Thank you 🌈
