Uptown

I lived in Euless for year, right by the airport, flew out every week. If I moved back I would def be in Ft Worth though.

If you are going to be traveling a lot, being close to the airport is nice. I live in Grapevine, 10 mins from door to door at DFW. When I first moved to DFW I lived in uptown, but as an older (early 30s) and married guy, it just wasn’t my scene.

Most younger (like <25) people want to live in uptown. I did it and it was fun. I recommend The Village though if your more price conscious. Still centrally located, lots of stuff within minutes of you, access to “the country club”, and tons of younger people live there. Lived in the Dakota, recommend it.

Thanks all! I’m leaning towards village - seems affordable and accessible to fun places

E2 is being dramatic, village is nowhere near a ghetto. But there are other apartments closer to Uptown- check any of the Gables or Post apartments for good spots for recent grads

I’d say don’t worry about distance from airport. There are 2 airports and tollways all over the city. If you want something more affordable the village on lovers and 75. Lot of recent grads there. West village is good but expensive

Yes I am just graduating from college.

Yeah Uptown, West Village and State-Thomas are the happening areas. If transit accessibility is a factor either Las Colinas or the CentrePort area (76155). If you’re Desi then definitely Las Colinas as all the good Indian food is in Irving. Personally I’d avoid Addison, it’s an older crowd and more suburban

West village 100%

Use this guy: you’ll get a $100 credit and he will help you find a place - Brandon.moses@gmail.com. He’s an apartment broker and I highly recommend him!

Yikes. The village is trash. You’re a consultant- you can do better. Go visit one of the Apts first. Also far af from everything (except the ghetto)

It’s literally 3 exits from uptown and on the other side of the highway from Southern Millionaires University...

Exactly, the other side of the highway is where us from southern millionaires don’t go.

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards... We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?

Hi everyone! I’m switching internally to my company’s LA office (from Boston). I only need to be in the office 1 or 2x per week and am toying around with the idea of living in San Diego and commuting up that one day. It’s likely be a 2.5hr drive or so each way, which seems like a lot. Can anyone speak to whether or not I’d go insane with that setup or if there are ways to make it more tolerable? I just have more family / friends in SD and would prefer to live there if possible :) thank you!!
