Who's still doing clubs in 2024?...that Life is so played out.
It's all about that Peace and straight chilling...a glass of Wine, a chill restaurant, a good book and
No Nonsense!
Best of Luck on your new Journey!
I concur!
Putting ourselves in that environment is a liability on so many levels.
Word! Tell all dem crae craes getting assaulted, puking their guts out and getting arrested at 2am "Ain't nobody got time fo dat" and "I don't want your life!" Peace!✌🏾
😂 you really showed ur age lol
Agree
I live in Dallas. I own my home but man $4k-5k for rent is absolutely crazy to me for Dallas. Guess because I moved from Michigan and have been here over 7 years. I’ve seen when rent was so much cheaper. Since owning a home for way less I don’t think I could ever get myself around to paying that much for rent.
If you truly don't like the heat, it may be best to avoid Texas! Have you considered North Carolina? They have the four seasons but the winters are mild with very little snow. Charlotte and Raleigh may be good areas for you to check out. There's a lot of new construction including high rises.
North Carolina is extremely boring compared to Texas and a subpar city to say the least compared to htx or dtx
Yes, I just made this comment! He should do charlotte NC!!
@@rochelle8568Charlotte is terrible compared to Dallas or Houston lol there is absolutely nothing in clt
I love Charlotte. Definitely a place I’m considering moving to personally after I leave Dallas.
Hands 🙌🏽 down Carolina’s!! Thinking abt moving to s Carolina, Texas is overrated and over populated
Whew! If you were my SON I would be yelling 🗣️Ain’t no damn way you gonna be paying 5,000 plus for no rent! I don’t care how nice the apartment is ! Get you a nice house that’s yours !! But.. YOU are young , no kids & you move around alot , so I get it! Take your time to make a decision ! Don’t rush & follow your heart❤
No it doesn’t matter if he travels a lot 5k a month on rent is stupid .. get a crib even if he decide to leave after a year or 2 that house would build up equity .. so u make money on ur 5k a month an apartment ur not getting nothing ur just spending money after a year u don’t have any equity or anything ur just wasting money !!! It makes no sense paying that much for an apartment
@@dremac2722 I agree 100%
I moved to Dallas from the MW so I can truly relate and understand you on the weather, heat, snow, and culture. I am an empath/introvert and don’t do the clubs like that. There are some nice low key places that have the calm, cool, and collective vibe/ambiance. Try Addison, Las Colinas-Irving, areas around the Galleria Mall (Dallas), and maybe Richardson. These areas are not as far as Frisco, they may have available Penthouses to look at. Also they are within 30 mins or so from downtown. I see that you are a man of God, I decree and declare that God will lead you to your NEW NEXT chapter in life (location)! You will know, TRUST your intuition! Continued prayers and blessings to you! 🙏🏽🙌🏽💫🙌🏽🙏🏽
Diddo and AMEN!! 🙌🏾💯🔥🙏🏽💜
Amen!!!
I second that… those areas are friend told me about
I am a Dallas native and I agree on Addison & Las Colinas area. He may find exactly what he’s looking for there. I’ve only worked in Las Colinas for years and I love that area. I really think Las Colinas will fit his vibe.
Thank you for this I want to move here but unsure will be coming to visit
It’s only hot in the summer time in Dallas. The rest of the year is great. Rarely snows. Hope you find a place you’ll love and stay safe. God Bless!
I live near Frisco bro. Sounds like it’s more of your vibe. There are bars, cigar lounges, speakeasies, good restaurants too. The thing is for you, you have to figure out how you want to move. Personally, you don’t have to live in the “scene” to be apart of it the “scene”. I’m at a point in my life where peace is more important and I can determine how much of the “scene” I want to indulge in. That’s why being in this area is perfect for me. Your necessities are in close proximity to you and it’s clean. DFW is huge so don’t let 45 mins scare you into not enjoying yourself. That will become normal to you in a few months. Good place to network, find mentorship and continue to grow while still prioritizing your peace.
I am from VA, but I moved to the Dallas area from New Orleans. I love it. Never thought I'd be living in Texas. Try looking in Addison, Carrollton and Richardson. If you think Dallas is hot, don't go to Houston..lol. it's hot and super humid. Honestly, you're not going to get the feel for any city in a couple weeks. It truly takes time to get to know any area.
I’m originally from Detroit ❤, but I’m a true Texan. Once you have lived here a year you’ll get use to the heat. Plus we don’t go outside to workout 🏋️♀️ or party outside when it’s that hot. That’s crazy lol.
Don’t go to Houston. Weather is trash and it’s hood or fake boogie and it’s HUMID. I’m a home owner in the DFW. I would suggest Addison, Farmers Branch, Las Colinas, Frisco,Plano. Also Pro tip limit your outside exposure to walking to the house from the car and back again during these hell hot days. Make sure you get a garage too if you stay here. Nothing worse then getting in a hot car.
Dallas has some chilled spots. If you move closer to downtown it's a lot of "party scene" but if you move to Las Colinas/Irving Area, it's very chilled.
All the things you are looking for, high- rise luxury apartments at an affordable price, all the sports teams (basketball, football, baseball), safe, with lots of chill bars with a vibe, and plenty of restaurants, nice weather, and no single digit temps…. Sounds like Atlanta to me…. But you have to beware of the scammers - female and male 🤔😒
Yep totally agree and we never get single digit winter here. We barely have winters. We will get in the 50’s but as far as snow 3 days max and it’s over! 😆
I agree.. I use to live in Las Colinas it’s very clean, chill & upscale!👍🏾 The place to be
With high rise apts, please consider not having one that faces west. Sunsets are very hot here! South gets a nicer breeze, facing north is the darkest. ❤
Also, the top floor Apts in Dallas are a bit hotter than lower floors.
We couldn't wait to leave Texas. Too hot. We lived in Austin. We love San Diego. We like to get outdoors, though. Houston is too weather prone. Dallas and Houston is sprawling. You will have to drive no matter what. My first winter experience with Texas was black ice. Not fun.
For cologne, check out The Scent Room while you are in Dallas. You will be pleased.
You should go where Peyton Charles goes for colognes in Dallas The Scent Room.
The clubs in Dallas as a native were dope in the early 2000's. Was the best time to be in Dallas if you liked clubs.
The club Cirque, Level 5 days
I have lived in Plano for 5 years and it’s super chill and quiet. It is more expensive but it’s worth it to me because I am a real chill low key person. I go to places in Plano, Frisco, McKinney and it’s a lot of chill bars etc. I haven’t been downtown in years.
Hey
Try Charlotte,NC !!!!
The weather here is great! Our football team is the panthers and our basketball team is the Charlotte hornets and baseball team is the knights !
I'm definelty going to tune even more my father wants to move to Dallas so your vlogs will be really helpful be safe 💪🏾oh yea HAPPY BIRTHDAY KiNG may God continue to bless you 🎉
I appreciate that 🙏🏽🖤
I live in frisco it's really nice, very chill vibe. I love eating, so this is where the food spots are.
Frisco is very suburban and conservative. It’s an extremely nice area with a bunch of restaurants. It’s more of a very family friendly area though in my opinion. A lot of Dallas Cowboys live out in that area (and more higher earners period) and that’s why it is so expensive. Yes, it’s hot in Dallas but its only for 3 months. It’s nice and pleasant otherwise. It might snow once (an inch or two) the entire winter.
The heat is not different in South Florida. Broward County and Miami/ Dade is hot to especially the summer. The good thing about Miami is the diversity, beaches, and alot to do like anyother city but the cost of living is crazy.
Minus the winter and crime rate, Chicago is the best city. I’ve been here for 10 years and I love it here. There’s crime EVERYWHERE so its relatively safe here compared to other cities tbr.
Also cheaper live
Chicago is my fav city. Absolutely a beautiful place with major swag.
So definitely want to live Victory Park and Uptown area for high rises in Dallas. Chill spots around that part would be Bishop Arts, Trinity Groves and Henderson Ave near the downtown area. If you live in the Uptown area you are accessible to so many different highways that can take anywhere within a 30 minute drive. Dallas restaurant scene is always changing and amazing food scenery.
Welcome Home Honey!!! Dallas is everything you described. 🙏🏾🙏🏾💐
Frisco is a drive from Dallas but if you like the chill scene, Frisco has this area called The Star with some bars and restaurants. The cowboys practice there and we’re going to the Super Bowl this year so.. 😅 There’s also Legacy West in Plano that is super chill. It’s across the highway from Frisco.
The sun is most definitely a different breed in Texas but you can’t beat the sunsets 😉
Lived in the bay for over 12 years. San Francisco is great, close to Oakland and other Bay Area cities. Chilly usually w/ overcast, but when the weather is great, it’s great. Buildings are usually older & pricey depending on where you live. Homeless is bad.
But a lot to do, cool niche bars and activities.
From weakest to strongest, the types of colognes there are:
#3-Cologne: Contains around 2-4% perfume oil
#2-Eau de toilette: Contains 5-8% perfume oil
#1-(Best) Eau de parfum: Contains 15-25% perfume oil
I been in Dallas for 4 years and depending on the area you won’t have to leave bc everything is there.
Also TikTok is the destination to find things to do for your vibe. Deep Ellen is for party ppl at night but Dallas has so much to do far chill vibes even adventurous as well.
I’m not a party person either and is so much to do for ppl like us.
I visited Dallas for 3 weeks before the pandemic then went back to the east coast and the I moved there 4 months later to Richardson then Frisco.
These areas are the ones my friend told me to go to. I’m a cancer too so I don’t like noise. I never went anywhere really except to kickboxing. But I was home and working from home then I got a second job part time but the weather depressed me.
A lot of people from up north and the east coast moved to my building and area and it felt like a frat house I wasn’t going to get a third place in Texas so I left the state and went to MN.
To be honest I want to say no don’t do it 😂 and I know some will come for me but just because I didn’t have a great experience with both my places and the people doesn’t mean you won’t.
I just can’t deal with that weather and weed and paper thin walls and I didn’t have a car which was cool but I tried to make it work for 3 years and I bounced 😂 frisco became way too expensive and Texas drained my pockets and energy.
I get there’s no state taxes and the cost of living is decent, depending on where you go but I can’t stand being hot 365 days out of the year.
I feel like you have to move to an area where people are quiet because everyone is moving there and unless you get a house, you never know who your neighbors are. Cancers we love our peace and quiet.
If you move to an area where people hang out or constant noise and traffic it’s going to bother your nervous system. I ended up in the hospital twice. I couldn’t get any sleep. When I got to MN I was able to relax and it was quiet. I rested for 8 days 😊
I think you would LOVE being in San Fran and def for sports as well, love the weather there I lives in San Jose for a year and I loved it and hiking there is beautiful
Fremont is a nice suburb vibe of San Fran :)
I’m born and raised in Miami. Miami has its fun and chill area. It’s diverse and the weather isn’t that bad. Obviously, summer is hot but not Dallas hot. I’ve been in Dallas during all the season stations and summer is hottttttt! You’ll get the high rises here and the nice lux life. I just couldn’t live in Dallas because I need to be close to the ocean. It’s so peaceful!
Miami diverse lol
Frisco, Plano, Denton all have chill vibes and have there own areas to go out in so you wouldn't have to go too far. Dallas has chill spots too , and probably the easiest access for basketball (American Airlines center). The rangers and Coeboys stadiums are both in Arlington so either option is about a similar distance away
The heat is rough for 3 months but you trade that for 9 months of solid weather. Houston weather would be ROUGH if you dont like Dallas
If you aren't sure and you have the time and resources I would try out other places first. Sometimes if it's a not sure, it's probably a no. Lots of options out there and lots of nice cities.
Frisco cool during the football season everybody be at the star which is a nice vibe. Downtown is a mutual spot and it is a little far away from that but not too bad. If you downtown it’s gonna be a party atmosphere, car theft is up also. I think legacy area in Plano you would like is not too far away from downtown.
Happy Birthday🎉🥳🎉🥳 Blessed✨️
I wish you alot of luck on your Apartment search 😊
Bro. I lived in Vegas, the Bay area and now Phoenix. Phoenix is a hidden gem. I wish I moved here sooner. It's a dry heat way more reasonable and the vibe is surprising.
Check out NC, I’m from Chicago. We have great weather and haven’t seen snow in two years
You must visit The Scent Room for niche fragrance! You may like the Legacy West area off the tollway in Plano and it’s close to Frisco
Happy birthday and Dallas is alright. Frisco Texas is cool.
Truly I seldom say anything. I have been with your channel for a while. Frisco is a very chilled and new place to live. Don’t know if you have gone to Legacy North in Frisco. Very nice place with great eatery’s and a good place to chill. Good luck with your adventure.
Dallas is the best I would say for storm related type situations. Everything passes over Dallas or under dallas. Dallas is a dry heat Florida Miami Houston is a humid moist heat, but it’s still hot. That was a cool off. This is the first time that we’ve been really hot last time we were not this hot. There’s a lot of places to go in Dallas just have to find them if partying is not your thing but they’re here. Dallas has a lot going for it.
I've lived in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for about three years, enjoyed my time there, and I wanted to share my thoughts. Honestly, I think you should pass on Dallas.
First off, I'm a fan of experiencing all four seasons, but I found Dallas weather a bit too extreme for my taste. The summers, in particular, can be brutally hot, which made enjoying outdoor activities like the Katy Trail tough for most of the year.
I'm not much of a club person, but I did discover some nice chilled lounges that were more my speed. However, after a while, I found the overall scene started to feel a bit monotonous. My social life was great. I lived in the Galleria area, but got so tired of driving all over the metroplex going to events and stuff. Second, what did it for me (and I moved) was concluding that the cost of luxury rentals didn't seem justified by what the city offers. I have no desire to own a home again. And even if I did the property taxes in Dallas would have been a deal breaker. Like you, I'm a luxury person too. I felt like I was paying more than the city was worth.I ultimately decided that it wasn't worth paying East or West coast prices to have a Texas experience. Overall, while Dallas has its perks, it might not be the best fit if you're looking for diverse weather, a vibrant and varied social scene, or value for money in terms of luxury living. Look into San Diego, maybe Fort Lauderdale, or someplace in Virginia. I think East or West coast would be more to your liking. Listen to your intuition, it's trying to tell you thumbs down on Dallas. I would not even waste time looking at Houston, but thats' just me. It's not that impressive honestly. No offense to the TX folks.
I agree and as person born and raised in Dallas. I can say that it way more expensive thats because Texas in general wants to be like Cali, Washington, new York and with a little mix of ancient time vibe. So point im making is this that dallas is not the place you wanna live. Majority of people here are super rude and stuck up as hell. Half of them are from others places coming here down with a bad attitude and the ones that are from here they fit right along with them by encouraging higher prices, poor food/customer and just straight lying to deceive more people to come here by making lives harder than what it needs to be. Trust me I been here long enough to know what I see with my eyes that it has gotten worse. If anything I thought about moving myself, but we shall see what the future holds.
Check out Las Colinas. I lived there and loved it. Allen is also a nice suburb in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. A little expensive but also enjoyed living there. Happy Birthday. The heat/humidity is worse in Houston but there are some real nice cities in the outskirts: Katy, Spring, The Woodlands, Sugarland. Lots to do in Houston and very diverse.
Consider the greater Seattle area, but not Seattle. 😊 The weather is mild, the state is green, and the overall vibe is chill.
Born and raised in Dallas. I'm in Little Elm now and it's slow and family oriented and I love it. Dallas does the most. I love my city, but at 45 years old, with young children, I don't regret the move. It's 100 degrees today, the sun is sunning, and that Texas blaze doesn't play. But best of luck to you, and if you decide to get down this way, Howdy. be safe and welcome!
Frisco is good the surrounding areas are McKinney,Plano, Murphy,Wylie Little Elm Denton Tx are all good areas
I’ve been in Frisco for a year. They do have a lot of spots to hang out at within Frisco. There’s this place called legacy west in Plano where a lot of people hang at too. The only down side is the drive to Dallas with the traffic.
Happy Birthday!! 🥳 Frisco is a little far out (not bad) but it’s chill. You can also consider Plano, Legacy West, Addison, Carrollton & maybe even Richardson. The heat in Dallas can be bad in the summer, but it does get better towards the end, but if you’re not liking it, definitely don’t go to Houston because it’s 10x worst.
Dallas and Houston are super hot in the summer. Frisco is a beautiful place, plenty of restaurants and shopping. The traffic at rush hour is real heavy. It is pricey because there are a lot of wealthy people that live there. I am originally from New York but I have lived in Houston, south Florida and Dallas. I’m currently in Dallas but moving back to Houston this week. Out of Dallas, Houston and south Florida, I loved Florida but it was too expensive for me. Blessings on your decision.
I know most people frown on Atlanta, but it seems like that would be a better place than like Dallas or Houston their electrical grid is the worst in the country days of no lights😂 I think north of Atlanta will be great somewhere like Alpharetta Sandy Springs penthouses have great views of the entire city at night
Ft Worth has things to do. Frisco is super nice!!
They say Charlotte NC is really nice, Ballantyne towerview is a pretty new high rise that they built down there, I been checking out Georgia to … not Atlanta though. I want to be secluded with a little land so I can have a garden to grow my own produce.
You asked about Houston. I recently read that the DFW area is projected to surpass NYC in importance by 2050, and the Houston metro area is expected to replace Los Angeles around the same time. Both cities are massive business hubs that continue to grow. However, if you find DFW humid, Houston’s weather is even muggier. Houston is also more prone to flooding and has slightly higher crime rates. Both metro areas are similar in size. If DFW doesn’t appeal to you, Houston might not either. On the positive side, Houston has many high rises and hosts teams from all major professional leagues, just like DFW.
You should try and check out Las Colinas/Irving or Louisville and Carrollton. I think that would be more your speed and you still be the middle of everything.
Frisco and Plano offers high rise apartments and condos by Legacy West and you can travel about 40 mins to Downtown Dallas.
In regards to areas to consider you should look into Addison and Irving/Las Colinas area. Yes it's gets hot in Texas from April to November. As a native Houstonian I can tell it wouldn't be a good fit, as hurricane season always have to deal with natural disasters. For your budget and wants only Dallas and Phoenix have everything you desire, however summers are brutal in each.
I recently moved from the Bay Area to Dallas. Prices in SF are going to be starkly different than they are in Dallas; housing, food, gas, and transportation are significantly higher. There's an exodus of Black people being pushed out of SF and moving to the surrounding areas due to gentrification and racism. The night life is low-key, the weather is amazing, there are a lot of things to do; hiking and biking are big there since there's access to beautiful forests nearby, but the discomfort I felt as a Black person on a daily basis in the city far outshined the positives. That doesn't even begin to touch on the amount of people unhoused, experiencing mental health crisis, and open air drug use. The crime is also through the roof. If you visit DO NOT leave anything in the car. Break-ins are a regular occurrence, you can walk down most streets and see glass from broken windows. I felt like SF is a nice place to visit but not live. Good luck with your hunt.
Yeah. I’m in so-cal and smh when he mentioned San-Fran. I don’t live there but we hear everything about it. I’m too looking to exit CA. This state is going dwn the drain due to these trash policies.
I think you would love Frisco. You should check out Legacy, Warren area as well as The Star. Great night life. You should also look at Richardson/ Plano area. Houston is hot and muggy. San Francisco is high as hell in regards to cost of living. Did you try the Arts District in downtown Dallas.
Hi, have you tried Addison or Carrollton. They are nice places to live, not out of the way not too far from stores and entertainment also I think it have the vibes you're looking for.
Houston gonna be hotter than dallas for sure. But frisco is the area Id suggest. Deep ellum is a no go, plano, Carrollton frisco, good luck!
I can see you being a New Yorker. Maybe even Atlanta if you don't like snow, other than that LA!
BECAREFUL in that car🤗.....🌿🍀🌱⚘️
I live in prosper now but moved from Chicago to Victory Park downtown Dallas. Great area and some good high rises with city views plus walkable to a restaurant or maybe a spot you can pull up to grab a beverage. Plus you would be close to American Airlines to catch Klay hooping with the Mavs
If you move to Frisco area you have the colony , carrolton , Allen , McKinney area. Addison . There is so much to do in DFw area
I reside in Dallas near Uptown/Downtown. Frisco does have the Star for entertainment providing several bars and restaurants. And it's not that far of a drive from Dallas. Houston is definitely super humid with the same heat as Daalas if not worse, and they are more subject to hurricanes, etc. Las Colinas, maybe an area to look into out here outside of Uptown, Plano, Dallas, Frisco, Mckinney, etc. Good luck searching
Yeah, any of the concerns that you’re having about Dallas multiply that by five for Houston. It is hotter out here. The humidity is more intense out here right near the golf, which isn’t even a nice beach and that’s why hurricane and tropical storm season is worse out here. But yes, the intense heat is summertime. You didn’t come at the best time to visit lol. But that’s not all year. It does get cool, nice breeze, sometimes snowy and icy which is basically a natural disaster in dallas. They do not have great infrastructure for snow and ice.
Happy Belated bru! 💪🏾🎉 Yes def check out Frisco, Las Colinas etc. Give it a couple more days you're gonna realize Dallas is the City for you!
Try outside of Dallas, Frisco is way busy. I would look at Grapevine, Euless, Keller. The outer cities and then drive to the main city.
I live in Plano. From what I've heard, Houston is worse in terms of heat and traffic than the Dallas area. I was born and raised in the midwest, but moved to the south in 1993. If you move to the south, you will have to adjust to the heat. It's typically hotter and for a longer time than we've ever experienced in the midwest. If you like trails, we have plenty of them in Plano. The parks are the best of any city I've ever lived. Wherever you move, you have to find your tribe. That will help with making the adjustment.
Hopefully you take this the right way, but have you thought maybe you’re indecisive about your move because you don’t have a vision for it ? you keep saying your dream apartment but what does that look like? Where is it located? What does it smell like? How is it decorated? Right now you’re moving off a whim and not a vision.
He knows what apartments he likes, what he's not sure about is the location. In terms of what it's really like to live somewhere not just visit.
Yea you seem ur like you'll like frisco area...it's not that far from Dallas
When you revisit Florida don’t just hop on i95 or the turnpike (toll) take a drive on A1A from Sunrise Blvd all the way down. It’ll take you out to Federal HWY. Make a left at SW 17th Street. You’ll see a burger king and know you’re going the right way. You’ll be back to A1A for the scenic route. This will take you pass the Fort Lauderdale airport. Keep going and when you get to Dania Beach Blvd make a left then stay in the left lane and only go left it’ll get you to Miami, give you a better feel of south Florida without skipping through everything. It’s beautiful and safe whether it’s day or night
It definitely ok to be chill. I love the maturity. I'm the same way.. I'm big on letting my spirit lead me.... And I live in Houston. It's super hot. A lot of traffic, but you can really pick one major area. Like Katy League city Webster, Texas.
But overall I'm Texas girl. So I'm very used to the heat. Try Corpus Christi. Happy Belated birthday.
Frisco is cool my guy but u have McKinney, Plano, Addison, Allen, and Las Colinas and Las Colinas your 15-20min from downtown Dallas but very chill
Bro, no lie, if you don’t want to deal with the unpredictability of Miami weather, then Houston may not be the place. Unfortunately, they still have really bad hurricane seasons as well and that usually comes with flooding and losing power during those season. This is coming from someone who is born and raised in Dallas and lived in Houston for 6 years.
Dallas is on my radar as well, so is charlotte NC, the weather is great in charlotte year round and is still on the come up but very low key and great food, definitely a sports town. Hopefully you add Charlotte to your list.
Try looking in Las colinas /grapevine McKinney Irving colleyville Keller Southlake
Don't got to HTOWN LOL
TRY FOR FORT WORTH TO
Good content. Dallas is affordable compared to other cities.Its stuff to do there but you got to find people who want to stuff.
My bday is July 9th also. Lived in Dallas all my life but i turn up at the house so im really no help 🤷🏽♀️ it’s lots to do tho…welcome!
Try Bishop Arts District. Houston is heller hot! Grand Prairie is up and coming by Epic Waters. Be careful in Deep Ellum at night. Also try the Colony, great area.
Further north is very expensive. Frisco is a very expensive city to live in. Plano and Las Colinas is nice.Try Arlington, Mansfield, HEB area and this will be Tarrant county. It’s about 30 minutes from Dallas. Downtown Fort Worth is great as well. The summers are very hot in Texas. Fall, Winter , and Spring are great seasons for Texas.
Yeah, sounds like you need a new guide that likes to do the kind of stuff you like to do because all that stuff is available in dfw your friend is not taking you there. He’s taking you to the club scene which there is a lot of but there’s so much great restaurants, bars, music venues art and culture. and yeah, it might be a little bit pricier but looking outside Frisco Plano great land or even Fort Worth is going to give you a chill vibe versus being right in downtown Dallas
I am a native NYer who has lived in many states but currently in Austin. It is hot but you do get use to it and there is central air, lol. I say all the places you named will work especially if you’re just looking to be there a couple of years. With that said San Diego has great weather year round, I’m sure it’s within your budget and it’s close to many different sports teams. Can’t wait to see which one you choose!
I am from southeast Texas nd moved to Dallas about 13 years…always visited because I have family hear but I do not like Dallas… traffic it’s always some drama the people are very different…I don’t know if it’s because I am an introvert and outspoken when need to be but I am ready to move…but there are some nice relaxing places here…you just have to be careful about the surroundings❤❤❤
I recommend Oakland/San Francisco or Austin
Absolutely as Austin is a Cali vibe for sure. DFW and all other Texas cities are exactly Texas.
Frisco and Little Elm are nice areas here very chill, nice, and quiet.
I moved from Detroit to Texas in 2022. I would say it’s the blessing I didn’t know I needed, I love it here. I agree the food is mid but all in all a great place to live. I reside in the Frisco area (Very Nice) huge difference from tha D!…..and yeah get used to the HEAT.
I moved here in 2016 and I’m from the Midwest. I live in Allen which is north of Dallas, however I can get to Dallas in 15-20 minutes because I live right off hwy 75. I love it out in Collin county because I’m a chill person. Frisco/Plano/Allen/Mckinney are the suburbs north of Dallas.
Notification gang! Happy Birthday again!!
💯🤝🏾
Happy belated Birthday D! 🎉
The heat in TX especially during the summer months is like a furnace piercing your skin I’ve seen it peak at 107 it’s unbearable honestly especially if you’re outside just briskly walking for like 5 mins or outdoor events.
Btw - Since you arrived I’ve been visualizing you going on a friendly date w/ Peyton Charles and is in the process of building her first home and can definitely give you insight from her experiences living there as a out of state transplant too. 😉
You have some high rises off of 75 just north of downtown, cool spots and eateries over there, or you can try further up off of 635, north dallas tollway and Beltline areas. They have some high rises and some cool chill spots with plenty of eateries in that area. Good luck fellow Michigander.
Happy belated birthday!!! Try Plano TX
I’m from the Bay Area and San Francisco can be coo depending on where you live if you live like in the avenues or something but I just think it’s overpriced and outdated parking is crazy and most of the time even if your complex has parking you have pay extra on top of the high rent to park in it just something to consider
Yeah Dallas Frisco/Plano, straight chill area, the restaurants are top like actually chefs.
You should link up with CZcamsr Peyton Charles. She moved here to Dallas I think 4 or 5 years ago. She loves our city she can probably also give u some tips on cologne. She’s very much into fragrances. I would enjoy seeing that collaboration video.❤Good luck apartment hunting hopefully we will be welcoming you to Dallas soon.
We LOVE Frisco. It is nice, quiet and out the way. Good for families. Dallas is alright, depends on where you stay.
Washington DC, Boston, North Carolina are some good options. I can tell you that winters in Boston arent bad, we dont get alot of snow in winters.
Dallas is a cool city. Its more family oriented there. The suburbs of D are really nice. I hate your friend took you to club spots. Bc D offers more. Its the type of city to settle down and raise a family in. Houston is the 4th largesr city in the U.S. keep that in mind. It does not snow in Houston but it does snow in Dallas. Houston has a tropical island climate. Its more humid and more hot...but we are down by the coast and you can go to the beach. Houston is more affluent and its more people. Its alot more to do. The club scene is everywhere but Houston has alot more to offer.
I live in Dallas. Frisco is a real nice, chill, upscale vibe. Low crime rate and you’re not that far from Dallas. So you can pull up to Deep Ellum or Downtown if you want.
