Dallas is a great place to live if you enjoy the city life without astronomical living costs. Depending on where you live, a noe bedroom can range from about 600 a month to 1300. Stay away from Northeast Dallas (Forest/Abrams area), South Dallas (Pleasant Grove, Oak Cliff, Fair Park, The Cedars). Some great places to live are in Victory Park (in between Downtown and Uptown, near the American Airlines Center), Downtown Dallas, Uptown Dallas, Greenville Avenue, Preston Hollow, The Park Cities (although there are not many rentals in those areas and the houses are very expensive) and the Midtown area (near Northpark Center and Park Lane).Shopping and restaurants are some of the best attractions Dallas has to offer. Some of the best are:Northpark Center-one of the biggest and most respected malls in America. It is home to Neiman Marcus, Barneys New York, Nordstrom, Macy s, and Dillard s for department stores. Its boutiques include: Louis Vuitton, Tiffany and co. Cartier, Kate Spade, Burberry, Ralph Lauren, CH Carolina Hererra, Versace, Giorgio Armani, Henri Bendel (accessories only), Victoria s Secret, DeBeers, Gucci (coming soon), Lilly Pulitzer, Banana Republic, just to name a few. It has a movie theater, as well. The restaurants there are: Maggiano s Little Italy (GREAT), Luna De Noche (good Mexican food), Kona Grill (sushi), Zodiac, Mermaid Grill (both inside Neiman s) and a fantastic food court.Highland Park Village is the first outdoor shopping center in America and also is very luxurious. It has an amazing Ralph Lauren store, an exclusive bridal boutique, Williams-Sonoma, Carolina Hererra, Escada, Chanel, Anthropologie, Herry Winston, Scoop NYC, just to name a few. Its restaurants are: Mi Cocina ( phenomenal Mexican food), Patrizio s (great italian), Cafe Pacific, and a Starbucks (which is also at Northpark). The Galleria, Shops at Willow Bend and Stonebriar Center all have similar stores to the places I have mentioned but I feel that those two are the best. There is also exclusive shopping in the Uptown region and dowtown claims the Flagship Neiman Marcus (established 1907).Other GREAT Restaurants include: The French Room (downtown), The Mansion at Turtle Creek (Hotel restaurant, uptown), Campizi s Egyptian Lounge, Pappas Bros. Strakhouse, Al Berneit s but those are only several of the great restaurants to choose from. As for cost of living, it is very favorable compared to places like LA, Chicago, NYC but you get many of the same attractions, without the smog of LA, the bitter cold of Chicago, or the population density of NY.Gas is much cheaper here than any other metropolitan area, as are groceries. REnt is also cheaper too. If you live off Greenville Ave, some good places are going to be around Greenville and Mockingbird Lane (where Campisi s is), Downtown, the best place in terms of affordability and quality would probably be 1001 Ross Ave. Victory Park would be Jefferson at the North End apartments and uptown has billions of apartments to choose from. Depending on what you like, all places have things to offer but I would like to like midtown, near Northpark Center. Plenty of places near there too. I live in Jefferson at the North End now, in Victory Park. It is a great place too.The negatives of dallas would be the traffic, the heat during the summer, and the drivers. THe traffic is bad during rush hour (not really any other time though and if you live close to work and know the back roads, you shouldn t have much trouble). The heat sucks during the summer but it is not as bad as places like Phoenix or places in West Texas. The drivers, howerer, are crazy a**holes. There;s no getting around that. Just try not to drive on I-35, USHWY-75, or I-30 during rush hour and you may avoid them.
it depends on what part of city.it can range from below 400 to over 1000.same as groceries.best is a fiesta ,sack and save or save a lot stores east dallas may be best but far n.dallas is safer but costs more.utilities is higher than many areas,but is best on budget plan for gas and elect.water for norn usage around 50.$. neighborhoods in some areas similar to your city,while some are more dangerous.do not suggest south or west dallas,go east or north or nearby cities,ans to duckie..it is virtually impossible to have utilities for $100 in dallas...I wish you were correct,but you are 1000000miles off
I found a cost of living wizard that might help.
You can do some research with on line city paper. Dallas Morning News.There are many suburbs also.
I ve found one bedroom apartments for 445-550 at least. But they are east of Dallas (Mesquite and Garland) if you want to move there.
