Priorities. We have them with everything from time and money to household tasks. They even apply to moving and storage.
After all, each of us has a different definition of what’s important when it comes to relocations. Is it access to nightlife and entertainment? Safety and security? Something else?
Let’s go over some of the top priorities people consider and give you recommendations on where to move in Dallas-Fort Worth for them.
1. Safety and Security
Whether you have children or peace of mind is a top priority in general, safety and security is one of the top considerations for people moving to or within Dallas-Fort Worth. In general, the suburbs will be safer than urban areas like downtown. But some cities are safer than others. Here are the Top 5 cities listed in Niche’s 2023 Safe Suburbs in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area list:
- Coppell
- Southlake
- Frisco
- University Park
- Flower Mound
2. Dining
Perhaps you’re a foodie and access to top-rated dining is a priority. This isn’t uncommon in Dallas-Fort Worth, as plenty of its residents are obsessed with cuisines like BBQ, Tex-Mex and other fine fare. Downtown Fort Worth and Downtown Dallas are both great options for this priority, but here are five others from Thrillist’s The 10 Best Eating Neighborhoods in Dallas.
- Deep Ellum
- Bishop Arts
- Greenville
- Trinity Groves
- Knox-Henderson-Fitzhugh
3. Nightlife and Entertainment
DFW sometimes gets a reputation outside of Texas for seemingly having nothing to do, but this couldn’t be further than the truth and is based on an outdated stereotype. Dallas-Fort Worth is one of the most populous metropolitan areas in the country and its nightlife and entertainment offerings reflect that. Here are five neighborhoods from Visit Dallas’ Top Dallas Neighborhoods for Nightlife, Shopping + More list:
- Deep Ellum
- Uptown Dallas
- Oak Lawn
- Design District
- Fair Park
4. Traffic/Commute
One of the negatives of living in DFW is unfortunately the traffic. It can get really frustrating and inconvenient depending on the part of town you live in, so this is obviously a top priority for many people. Here are some options to consider from IMS Relocation’s The 5 Most Commute-Friendly Suburbs in Dallas-Fort Worth list:
- Arlington
- Irving
- Coppell
- Frisco
- Plano
5. Residence
Last, but not least, the house or residence itself might be the main thing you care about with your DFW move. Certain suburbs give you more acreage, bigger homes or a combination of both. Here are five options from Niche’s 2023 Best Suburbs to Buy a House in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area list:
- Southlake
- Trophy Club
- Oak Leaf
- Lantana
- Double Oak
