Moving to dallas in February. Any neighborhood recs for a single 31M? Not looking for the center of nightlife but solid restaurants/bars would be good. Work is mostly remote so commuting isn't a concern

Addison, maybe?

Just because Addison has bars it's good to visit, but not live if you can afford better. Just speaking from experience having lived near there and frequenting the shops. A few too many beggars and solicitors for me. But I put up with it because I liked shopping at the Whole Foods. Just know what you're getting into. It is a really great, central location to commute from. Good variety of eateries.

What’s your preference? City life vs suburbs? Do you prefer to be somewhere you can walk to restaurants/bars?

West End in Dallas is nice and fun as an older 20s individual imo! I am walking distance to the trail, restaurants, workout classes, parks, etc. and it’s fairly quiet and well kept while still being close to airports and other things you need.

depends on your budget but if you want to use this as a stepping stone to build equity then propser or celina would be nice, drive would be a little far to places but there are lot of options in Frisco and Plano to socialize plus over time you will have really good value on your home if you move a little north.
thats what i did.
think of it as an investment as well as being in a nice place.
