It's an absolutely wonderful city. Highland Park is a nice neighborhood !

Think north. Coppell is a nice, small community with good schools and close to everything. Frisco is also nice but a bit of a drive. The park cities are excellent neighborhoods but very pricey. Several college options around, University of Texas has a site up in far north Dallas. SMU is close and University of North Texas is in Denton, maybe 40 minutes away.

The north suburbs are good, clean, crime-free and family oriented. Plano & Frisco are larger cities; McKinney (150,000), Allen (50,000), Lucas (5,000) and Fairview (3,000) are wonderful too (Lovejoy School District is really good).... Actually, the PUBLIC schools in the metroplex are extremely good! ... Of course, SMU is a top university here... and UT has an extension

There are several colleges in the area. Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas Christian University in Ft Worth, University of Dallas (Catholic) in Irving, North Texas State Universty in Denton (about 1 hour north), University of Texas at Arlington, and 2 community colleges, North Lake in Irving and Mt. View in Dallas. You didn't mention if you had boys, girls or both so I'll list private schools for both. There are many parochical schools, but I'm not listing them. These are very good, well known schools in the area. Greenhill School in Addison, grades 1-12 for both, Hocaday in Dallas, K-12 girls only, Cistercian Prep in Dallas (near Valley Ranch) 5-12 boys only, Bishop Lynch Catholic School in Dallas, 9-12 both, Ursuline Catholic Academy in Dallas, 9-12 girls only, Jesuit College Prep in Dallas, 9-12 boys only, First Baptist Academy in Dallas (downtown) K-12 both, Episcopal School of Dallas, 1-12 both, St Marks in Dallas, 1-12 boys only. Addison is a very nice but small suburb -- 5 sq miles. Valley Ranch is actually the northern most part of Irving -- much nicer than the rest of that suburb. Highland Park is a section of Dallas that someone else mentioned to you -- very expensive area with excellent schools -- public schools there would be fine, but not in Dallas ISD, Carrollton, that was also mentioned to you, is not one I'd recommend, Plano, Frisco, Coppell, and Flower Mound are nice suburbs. I can't help you if you actually want to live in Dallas because I'm just not familiar with which areas are good. I hope this is helpful and welcome to the area.
