It really depends on where you plan to make your living at. It can take sometimes 1h30min or more to make it from one side of the metroplex to the other. The main thing would be to avoid South Dallas, East Fort Worth, East Arlington, Northside Fort Worth, Central Irving. The best rule of thumb is if the apartment looks like a really good deal it is generally not the safest place. I lived in a $380 a month apartment in Arlington in what was considered a good neighborhood and that individual complex was a haven for pot and meth production. There was constant drug trafficking 24/7. I did not know this until I signed a lease. You may be able to find a good inexpensive safe place to live in Hurst, North Richland Hills, Bedford. These areas have nice older apartments at decent rates and are safe cities to live in. They are also convenient locations with lots of shopping and restauarants nearby. Before signing a lease make sure to see what goes on at the specific apartment you choose. Many times peaceful apartments during the day can become a haven for criminal activity after dark.
Plano would be the ideal place to live if you want a reasonable price and low crime.Here are some apartment communities that are in safer areas.Post Legacy - Awesome area!

Plano is good and so are the nearby communities of Frisco and Richardson. Or you might try Arlington over in Tarrant County, near Fort Worth. But, I m curious. Aren t you interested in finding a job? or a college/university?
Most of Plano is okay, but there are some areas you want to stay clear of.Plano, Allen, Frisco, and parts of Richardson will be fine.
If you re a chick, then yes, Plano is good. If you re a dude and like to fish, Lake jackson is your best bet.
