Texas???

[gixxerboy1]

Austin has a better nightlife, but there's lots to do in Dallas.

If you decide on Dallas, here's some apartments I'd recommend:
http://www.reserveatwhiterock.com/si...TOKEN=79721253
It's right next to White Rock Lake (the best thing in Dallas, IMHO) with a 12 mile bike path.
Here's a map of the neighborhood:http://maps.google.com/maps?q=9215+G...i=map&ct=title

There's a gym right across the street (24 hour fitness, I think), and a really good no-nonsense hard-core gym about 2 miles away. It's a short drive to downtown Dallas, and not far from upper and lower Greenvile Ave & entertainment (that's where all the straight folk go, anyway).

As far as renting a $600 apartment in Dallas -- no, I wouldn't recommend it. You could probably find a really good deal somewhere for that much in Dallas, but I wouldn't count on it.

---------
I've lived in several parts of the Dallas area. It's pretty big, lots of different virtues in different areas. Do you want to live close to work, or close to play, or close to a good gym, or close to an airport, in the 'burbs, or just somewhere cheap?

I'll def check that place out. It looks really nice and is still less then i pay now.

Here's what i was looking at that was making me think around $600

hey gixxer I'm from Dallas. Lived here my whole life with small stints in other places. I love Dallas. Great frekkin city! Don't compare Houston with Dallas. Dallas people hate that! I personally refer to Houston as the armpit of america! If you have any questions hit me up!

Ya, those are ok. Too suburban for my tastes, though. But ok if you think you'd like summer boating on the lake. They're also close to Addison, where lots of nightlife spots are.
The nightlife spots in Addison (and in suburbia in general) tend to be franchise operations; not very imaginative, IMHO. The spots close to downtown Dallas and along Greenville Avenue tend to be more interesting.
Again, everything depends on what appeals to you, where you work, how much traffic you want to contend with, etc etc. You might look for a place with a short lease, and live light so you can spend a few months checking out the area, and then move someplace better.

Good luck . . .

houston is SO much better than dallas in my opinion! i am just really biased though, anyways dallas is cool too but if i had a choice, its not even close

[feanixco]

I lived lived all over and Dallas is by fay my favorite place.

[im83931]

Also. For you texas guys where would you prefer? Houston, Dallas or Austin?

They have offices at all 3. They prefer me at Dallas but i think i could go anyplace if i prefered another

Dallas and Austin are cool. Houston sucks. I hate houston, really hate Houston.

[956Vette]

tock had some good insight. I dated a girl who lived in those second apartments...not bad. I would prefer to be in or around uptown if concerned about teh nightlife. And i would prefer dallas over austin or houston anyday

[RuhlFreak55]

I've been offered a job in Dallas doing the same thing im doing now. I know there person who owns the company and is a great person to work for. Pay is pretty much what i'm making now possibly more. But its Texas so that pay will go alot farther. I'm not sure what to do. They are flying me out there for a few days to check it out.

[batlin]

I Live in Austin and love it here.. nite life is awesome, the number one city in america for singles (it is voted on every year it seams) we have the largest University in the Nation (UT) so there are a TONE of hot women.. an 6th street.. nuff said..
And as my buddy said when I moved here..
If you cannot get laid in Austin.. then you have some serious issues....

[goodcents]

I want to open some stores in texas and florida soon

[Panzerfaust]

You would have to be a ****ing moron or Mexican to move to this shit hole. I'm getting the **** out ASAP.

LMAO @ thinking you are gonna get anything nice in Dallas for $600. Stay in Virginia if you can get a nice place there for that much. I'm not sure where you got the idea that Dallas is cheap.

[Panzerfaust]

I'll run one for you..that might be a good enough reason to stay here for awhile longer.

THe links i listed from rent.com. There are lots of places in dallas for that price. I havent been there yet so i dont know thats why i asked. I'm not in virginia. I live near NYC. I pay $1500 for an ok place

Dallas is very segregated in some areas...feel it out when you visit

Where in the hell did I get Virginia? Oh well!

If I were you, I would expect to pay $900 at the least for a nice apartment. You can find a nice pad for $900 and still save $600 from what you are paying now. You could live in a ****ing kick ass pad for $1500 in Dallas but why do that when you can save money and still live in style?

[big L 17]

Dallas has a lot of crime rate but theres alote to do.I personally live in Austin and love it.

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

whats that?

o yeah SAN DIEGO!

haha


Im telling you, texas is pretty sucky. At first you mite like it, cuz its new and such. but when u start seeing more signs in spanish than english, yr tires start getting slashed, and car gets stolen multiple times.

Im sure these things happen everywhere, but trust me, here, its getting worse by the second

But, Austin is def yr best bet

You have a race problem? moron and mexican meaning the same thing?

[53-11]

texas is great...those hot women with that texas draw...VERY NICE!

[Panzerfaust]

Do you have a sensitivity problem?

[rockinred]

Do you have a sensitivity problem?

I might... and the only thing that satisfies it is pounding on narrow-mindedness...

[rockinred]

I might... and the only thing that satisfies it is pounding on narrow-mindedness...

nevermind that statement... I don't want to get in a cyber battle... but if you want I live next door to texas in new mexico and we can meet up...

[RageControl]

I was originally from Long Island. Moved just outside of Austin a little over a year ago. Cost of living is MUCH MUCH cheaper here. You can live like a rock star on a typical NY salary. Austin has a great nightlife. The women are fantastic and don't pretend the're Paris Hilton. I miss the beach the most but the open road and huge sky of Texas kind of make up for it. There is great food to be found here just not pizza. Dallas is nice as well but its much like NYC some areas are nice others are dumps. If your into guns or the outdoors this place is heaven. If we could just get a decent beach here i wouldn't even contemplate moving. Open space is a short drive away from both cities. So if you plan on owning a large chunk of property some day might not be a bad move. Oh and the weather is 1000000 times better here if you enjoy the heat. I went back to NY around cChristmas and was completely miserable due to the cold weather up there. I dig the TX sun in a big way

Oh yea there's also a lot less wanna be guidos with blow out hair cuts down here

[football2007]

6th street is all I gotta say..

Thats all I need..

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

6th street is all I gotta say..

Thats all I need..

yep.

plus Austin was ranked #7 city in america as best cities

[*El Diablo*]

I would love to Visit NYC.

[Tazwell]

I know some one who moved down here to houston from New Jersey, and I have familly from chicago that moved to houston and Dallas.

They like it here. They all say there's so much space and every things bigger here, apartments, freeways, houses, malls, parking lots etc. Plus it's easier to find a job.

Everything negative you guys said is true, but there's also alot of Positive too. And yea Houston gets hot real hot, you can never get used to it either. During the summer between noon and 4pm you don't see anyone outside.

[gixxerboy1]

Well i think i'm going. I just waiting to finalize the whole comp plane. I would probably live around the plano frisco area.

[longhorn814]

Well i think i'm going. I just waiting to finalize the whole comp plane. I would probably live around the plano frisco area.

good luck bro..i think you'll enjoy it..lots of hotties live around plano/frisco area..addison is a good suburb to go out in with lots of hotties..not far from there either

[Panzerfaust]

Well i think i'm going. I just waiting to finalize the whole comp plane. I would probably live around the plano frisco area.

Nice choice for this area IMO. You might get by with basic Spanish there.

Nah, really Plano or Frisco are nice areas.
