Any of the ones I could find out about you wouldn't want to live at anyways. Most are on the wrong side of Dallas.

If you really want to pay a lot of money for a bubble city look at the park cities, University Park and Highland Park. Otherwise you can go to Lakehighlands, Coppell, Southlake, or parts of Plano.
2
Addison, TX. Small town atmosphere in the middle of North Dallas and there are 2 private schools and some really good public schools. Also... I think you can eat at a different place each night for 3 months before you have to duplicate. 12 minutes from Downtown and probably the same to Plano business district.
3
Stay North. The southern part is not too great. Highland Park is President Bush's old stomping ground.

Try LakeHill High School in Dallas

Where are the best places to live near Dallas Texas?
My family is moving to Texas. We are white, middle income and want to raise our kids in a good town / neighorhood without alot of crime and gangs etc: and good school districts. We need to be within 35 miles of Baylor University. We plan to rent. We are looking for a good neighorhood where people are friendly, no cars on the lawn, no strip clubs and all night liquor stores etc. etc. Which towns and neighorhoods should we look at, and which should we avoid? Thanks for all your help.

Your only option is to live in the Waco area, but I don't live there so I don't know which neighborhoods are nice. And Waco is about 97 miles from Downtown Dallas. Now Belton and Temple, are about 34 and 42 miles, respectively, from Waco. And you might be able to find better schools in those towns.
2
If you're referring to Baylor University Medical Center in downtown Dallas (and not Baylor University in Waco), then you have quite a few options. In the east you may consider Mesquite or Sunnyvale (about 20 miles) or Forney (about 30 miles). In the north, you're looking at Plano (about 20 miles), Allen (25-30 miles) and Frisco (about 30-35 miles); heavy traffic in the north though. In the west, there's South Grand Prairie and Mansfield; not sure how far it really is though, it's less than 35 miles for sure. South, nothing really, unless you go to Waxahachie or Ennis, but it's TOO far out... There are other, smaller neighborhoods that have great homes but the school districts are Dallas Public Schools; they're notorious for some reason, but i came out fine after all that! LOL! Hope this helps...

Forney is an up & coming community with good schools, very little crime and a nice "hometown" atmosphere.

My husband and I just moved here from Pittsburgh and we live in Irving. We got an apartment in a part of Irving called Los Colinas. Very nice area - new stuff being built all around us. I honestly think Los Colinas is in the middle of everything. We arent far from the airport, downtown and TONS of shopping. We really like it here. Irving is also dry - no bars, strip clubs - you cant even get beer/wine/liquor in the grocery stores -- you have drive to Dallas to get it! My 2nd choice was Frisco, a little north of Dallas. A newer area of Dallas that has EVERYTHING you can imagine. I have a friend that lives there and the housing market is great.
5
We live in Frisco. That is near North Dallas. Our neighborhood is new as is most of Frisco. The cities around us are also not to bad. When we moved here from Cali we lived in Carrollton. It was a very nice area and at the time it was a dry county. Good luck with your move.

I'd have to go with Waxahachie or Cedar Hill. Waxahachie is smaller and has a more homey feel, but it's growing. It is also only a few minutes from Life School which is an excellent school distrcit. CedaR Hill is larger and closer to downtown Dallas. It has more to do than Waxahachie. Also, it is home to Trinity Church, a wondeful and exciting place to worhsip. I hope this is helpful.

I would advise you consider Irving, Arlington, South Grand Prairie. Here in Dallas you wont really find a place that doesnt have strip clubs, and all night liquor stores because it is such a big city. Im giving you these cities because they have less of what you DONT want. Irving would be my top choice, it is close to baylor hospital, and the adult clubs are on the outside borders of it and they may not be considered as being in actual Irving, so the clubs may be considered as being in dallas and not irving. Arlington is a nice city as well although it has its adult clubs at the western part of the city, which you would probably never see anyways because the more west you decide to live the farther it would be to baylor. Grand Prairie was considered a dry city until recently, however, there are no real bars in GP because the transition just happened recently. GP and Arlington are right in the middle of DFW. I don't know where you are coming from but you may fall in love with any of the other cities we have. I've been to the west, PHX, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego, Tucson, and each city has a couple of different little cities within it, DFW has atleast 15! In other words, after you drive a few miles away from Vegas, you start to see nothing, well, here, you have to drive pretty far before you start seeing a whole lot of nothing.

Don't worry about all night liquor stores, they close at 9 pm here. Keeps the Yankee riffraff off the streets better.
9
Well, I wouldn't suggest Frisco unless you want to be on the roads forever. Also avoid Balch Springs, Oak Cliff for the most part, Pleasant Grove, or a lot of Garland. I don't think any part of the city of Dallas is a good fit to your requirements. I work in Mesquite and that may be your best bet, relatively close and 2 highways that unfortunately merge to give your more traffic. Anyway, I live in Seagoville and my parents commute into Downtown, it normally takes them about 35 minutes-45 minutes depending on traffic. I like Seagoville and its certainly growing, too fast so maybe you shouldn't move here. Soon it'll be like Frisco where there's traffic all the time and new subdivisions as far as you can see. /rant over/ Anyway, Mesquite is good,I went to high school there and I remrmber it as being pretty good. Sunnyvale's also good if you have the money.
10
Hope you realize that 35 miles in Dallas represents about an hour and a half on the road. My choice would be the Lake Highlands area where you get great schools (Richardson school district) but you are living in Dallas. Not sure what's available on a rental basis but it's worth looking. Probably your best bet if you want a suburban community is Rowlette, which is east of Baylor Med complex.

Ok ... I am not from Dallas, but I have visited several times and I took a 3 week class in Denton Texas (Univ of North texas). I would say that this college town has plusses and minuses like every town, but it has something special in the water. No really, I mean it! That area has the most beautiful women per capita of any place I have ever seen! I almost got whip-lash from my head constantly swiveling to see the next stunning young lady walk by. Of course I was on campus so the women were all in a particular age range, but there is something to this. I was told that for a period of time in the late 80's and early 90's there were 3-4 Miss USA's from Denton Texas. If you have a son, please consider moving there .... he will forever be in your debt! And you will enjoy the scenery! Be safe and enjoy.

If it is Baylor in Waco, the best place to live is in Woodway/Hewitt area, about 15-20 min drive from Baylor. It's a little more expensive but it has better schools and better neighborhoods. The public school district is Midway High school which is the only good public school closest to Waco. Other options are Bosqueville. Private schools are good, there is Reicher Catholic, Vanguard Prep and Texas Christian Academy. Hope this helps.
13
Baylor is not very close to Dallas, so you have to basically choose which one you'd rather live near. For Baylor University-Waco is your best bet. The only problem is that it's a TINY town, and there's about 15 people in each grade, so their limited choices and who to hang out with for your kids. If you'd rather live near Dallas, Frisco is an AMAZING town. It was ranked (multiple times) on the Top Ten places to live in the U.S. There's very good schools (most Frisco schools recieve honors, and all schools have dozens of clubs/sports teams/fine arts electives your kids can join). There's also a mall/movie theater/ice skating rink, so you'll never be bored. Avoid DALLAS at any cost. There's a HUGE crime rate, HORRIBLE traffic, and bad schools.

denton, texas

your best bet is Grapevine. It's got the feel and the community of a small town, with the convenience of a big city. there is very very little crime ( i've only heard of some teenagers doing a little damage to the high school, thats all) they've got great schools, everybody is friendly, no liquor stores etc; and they have a historic downtown (main st) looks like a quaint little town with GREAT shopping... lots of vinyards, two festivals a year (one in may called main st days and one in september i think called grapefest) and on halloween all the kids go trick or treating on main st. GREAT place to raise a family, VERY SAFE.

Lewisville is a really nice city. I would check it out. Also, look at Frisco.

Where can I get a custom baseball glove in Dallas, Texas?
I want to get a gift certificate for my best friend but I live in Los Angeles and he lives in Dallas. I was advised not to purchase the glove myself (it was gonna be a surprise), but to let him choose and to try and get a place where he can try it on. So, I need help. I want him to have the best and be able to get his name and number engraved, as well as perhaps using his school colors incorporated and definitely options for weaving style, bucket type and leather and all that.

North of Dallas, in Nocona (outside of Gainsville), Nokona Athletics Co. has its manufacturing facility and headquarters. They are world renoun, and supply many gloves of Major League players. They have dozens of styles and different options to "build your own glove". www.Nokona.com Nokona is a short drive from Dallas, but by far the best quality. You can order online, and they also have sales reps prob. where you are. If you have more questions, call them- i've ordered from them before, and they are very friendly and helpful.

You start off by applying for positions as a veterinary assistant at clinics near your home. Put together a letter about your intent to go to vet school, your experience with animals--types of pets you have had and your part in caring for them, your need for experience in a veterinary facility to help you to determine if this is really the profession you want to work towards, etc. Send this letter to local clinics along with a resume showing any and all work experience that you have. And don't forget to talk to your own veterinarian about possibly shadowing him or volunteering at his practice for a while. Consider taking the veterinary assisting program through Cedar Valley College as well. This will help you get some basic information on assisting a veterinarian so that your employer doesn't have to spend so much time training you.

I would go with a University of Texas affiliated school, and work my butt off to get into the UT Austin business school. If you don't want to do that or (as it is really hard to get into), cant get in, you could try University of Houston business school (although its not in north texas)... but it is rated #3 in Texas (UT Austin is rated #1). But, your degree only helps you get your first job. So, if someone from UT Austin or Harvard gets the job you want right out of college, all you have to do is prove yourself somewhere else. All of the reputable companies and firms promote and hire based on how much money you can make the company, so if you are good, you will get by with a degree from any institution. good luck

This very much depends on what you want to do with your life, but in almost all circumstances, a degree from UT Dallas would get you farther than would a diploma from AI Dallas. It is just a much better school. I do think that you could use a little more advising, though. Your questions about transportation and housing lead me to believe that you will be a first-generation college student, because no one whose parents went to college would ever choose a college based on public transportation lines. Also, if you are under the age of 25, I would guess that UT Dallas, like most schools, would require you to live on campus as a freshman. I can't help you much on your specific questions about the city, since I've never been to Dallas, but I do know that it is not like Florida in many ways. The weather, the ethnic mix, a lot is different.

I know someone that went to the Art Institute of Dallas years ago. The school lost their accreditation right before she finished and she ended up with a worthless piece of paper. UT Dallas is a Texas state university and although it's not the best school in the UT system, it is pretty good. This also means that the Art Institute is going to cost tremendously more money to go to than UT Dallas. The weather in Dallas is very hot and humid in summer (it's still in the 90's right now) and winters are much colder than in Florida. Public transportation is not great in Dallas - there are buses and a light rail system is being built, but it is nowhere near the system that other large cities have. UT Dallas is actually in Richardson, which is a suburb of Dallas. The Art Institute is in a pretty expensive area of the actual city of Dallas, along Central Expressway which has HORRIBLE traffic. UT Dallas is mostly a commuter school. They have a lot of adult, night, and continuing education students. I don't think they even have on-campus housing available. I know that AI would not since it is not a "real" college or university.

i think it is a much better major / have future job security. texas and florida are hot. texas is basically florida without the palm trees. you see more flatter land / less swamps and desert instead. there are small brush trees in texas. i think Dallas is the best place in texas to live . Houston is a big city . San Antonio is pretty. i'd pick the college that best meets the education I want to get as this is what prepares you for your future jobs. i'd also pick the school that offers the best financial aid package. pick for the school / financial package.

AI is a good school and located in a great part of town--just north of downtown Dallas. There is public transportation via the dart rail to both AI and UTD. UTD is located in Richardson (a suburb about 20-40 minutes from downtown Dallas depending on traffic). Despite its less attractive location, I highly recommend UTD for multimedia study. You should contact Professor Linehan in ATEC. He is a true pioneer in the field and UTD is quite fortunate to have him on board. He has been greatly influential in acquiring the equipment and professors necessary to make this department one of the best in the nation.

I know that AI would not since it is not a "real" college or university.

i think it is a much better major / have future job security. texas and florida are hot. texas is basically florida without the palm trees. you see more flatter land / less swamps and desert instead. there are small brush trees in texas. i think Dallas is the best place in texas to live . Houston is a big city . San Antonio is pretty. i'd pick the college that best meets the education I want to get as this is what prepares you for your future jobs. i'd also pick the school that offers the best financial aid package. pick for the school / financial package.

AI is a good school and located in a great part of town--just north of downtown Dallas. There is public transportation via the dart rail to both AI and UTD. UTD is located in Richardson (a suburb about 20-40 minutes from downtown Dallas depending on traffic). Despite its less attractive location, I highly recommend UTD for multimedia study. You should contact Professor Linehan in ATEC. He is a true pioneer in the field and UTD is quite fortunate to have him on board. He has been greatly influential in acquiring the equipment and professors necessary to make this department one of the best in the nation.
