Metropolitan areas like Dallas-Fort Worth offer plenty of appeal for current and prospective residents. There are sports teams, recreational areas, well-rated restaurants and a variety of other entertainment options to enjoy, as well as warm weather and a family-friendly environment.
The only problem with large metro areas? Traffic. And lots of it. This isn’t as big of a problem for the rising number of remote workers these days, but you still have to pick where you live carefully if you want to avoid frustration and delays.
Four North Texas cities made the Top 10 list for LawnStarter’s 2022’s Best Cities for Remote Workers. Let’s discuss each of them.
1. Frisco
According to Rocket Mortgage (and several other publications), Frisco is the fastest-growing city in the United States. This has been a trend for a few years now, with more and more would-be residents flocking to the newly developing area north of Dallas. Home to the Frisco RoughRiders minor league baseball team, the FC Dallas soccer team and a wide variety of malls and restaurants, it’s easy to see why Frisco is growing in popularity.
2. Dallas
Dallas itself is becoming more in-demand with remote workers, as there’s less of a need to travel outside the city center if you work from home. The variety of apartment, condo and townhouse options in and near Downtown Dallas is aplenty, so finding an ideal home near your favorite bars, nightlife, clubs, museums and other points of interest is easier than in the suburbs.
3. Arlington
Another ideal candidate for remote workers in Dallas-Fort Worth is Arlington. A large city in itself, Arlington is centrally located between Dallas and Fort Worth and has seen surprising development in recent years, with new stadiums for local sports teams like the Texas Rangers and Dallas Cowboys being developed. Major companies are employing more people in Arlington and its close proximity to every daily need makes it a remote worker’s dream.
4. Plano
Finally, Plano is a large suburb in DFW that is ideal for remote workers. It spans a wide area from west to east, so there are plenty of neighborhoods and housing options to choose from. As with Frisco, Plano is in Collin County and boasts a wide variety of demographics and terrain. Enjoy lakes, bike trails, corporate headquarters and so much more.
