We moved to Northeast Texas (20 minutes north of Dallas) in 09. We thought about Austin but I think the humidity there is worse. We are in the midst of one of the hottest summers in history. We are now at 30 straight days of triple digits. The record is 42 set in the summer of hell, 1980.
And this week, it will be close to 110 and over 100 every day. Summers are hot, be prepared but if you have AC and most do, and we put in a pool, and restaurants are always cool if not cold, just learn to deal with it.
Then the heat leaves in the fall. It doesn’t linger. And fall is beautiful and winter is too, although cold. And springtime is lovely.
The Dallas Metroplex, especially North Dallas is booming. Frisco, McKinney, Allen, all within 20 minutes of downtown and so many people coming in. People with capital and money because they are tired of taxes in CA and other states. The growth and building is just booming.
And of course IN N OUT Burger chose the Dallas Metro Plex to begin their operations, open locations and build their meat processing plant.
I say this with confidence, the Stewart Peninsula in a little city called “The Colony” has some absolutely beautiful homes. Easily , if in CA , Orange County, homes that would go for close to $ 1 million. They overlook the big Lake, Lake Lewisville and they are beautiful. I live in the Stewart Peninsula and we were able to get a nice 4 bedroom, single story near the lake and we love it. But the homes up the street in a different HOA are just beautiful. And for the money, a better value than Plano and or McKinney which are growing like crazy. And I hear LIttle Elm has some beautiful homes.
So Frisco, McKinney, Plano, are growing and yes it’s North Dallas, not downtown or old town or uptown but I think yhou will like what you see. Check out Allen too. And even Fairview. Good luck.
Forgot to say, we feel pretty pretty safe here too. I have seen no graffiti, no gangs, it’s clean, and people wave to you and say hi and thank you. And I have a loaded gun in my home and am applying for a concealed handgun license.
If and when the riots happen as the LEFT gets their stuff taken away, I can’t think of a safer place to be than Northeast Texas and specifally, Far North Dallas. Downtown Dallas , well....good luck. Dallas is very Liberal.
Ft. Worth , I always feel safe there too. I think every man in Ft. Worth is packing and that’s good because the bad guys don’t know who is and who isnt.
