OpenLiving in the metroplex
DFW living is car-friendly, event-heavy, and spread across a dozen distinct towns, which is exactly why the neighborhood matters more here than in most markets. Commute drives a lot of the decision: Richardson anchors the Telecom Corridor's jobs, Frisco and Plano pull the northern office growth, and Dallas proper still holds the cultural center.
Garland has lived the market for 12 of his 23 years in real estate, so the advice is practical: which town fits a school plan, a commute, or a budget, with real median prices attached rather than a general it is a great area.
