    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 . . .

    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.

    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?

    I gotta admit, I dont find the overdone, fake and bake Italian chicks in this area to be attractive at all...They wear too much makeup, are overdone, and dress like tramps, and have annoying voices....

    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!

    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

    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

    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.

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

    Nah, really Plano or Frisco are nice areas.
