Hello Dallas!!!

We are in the process of relocating from Ohio to your beautiful city in October. I know nothing about the area and would like to find out where are some of the best places to live in North Dallas?

We won't be buying another home right away so we're wanting to rent a 3BD/2BA Condo or Townhouse in a gated community. It would be nice to be close to shopping, transportation, etc.. We're looking at $1,200-$1,400 per month.

I hope that some of you wonderful Dallas Texans will be able to provide me with some feedback.

Thanks for your help!!!....Marie

You can check zip code 75248. It is close to Dallas North Tollway, 635, George Bush tollway and 75. Lots of shopping opportunities nearby from grocery to retail. We lived in a townhouse next to Prestonwood Country Club / golf course. It was pretty safe and nice. I can give you more information if you like. It is very close to established, affluent neighborhoods.

Might be a little above your price range but the Estancia Townhomes are pretty nice.

Estancia Townhomes Dallas Apartments - Apartments in Dallas, TX

They're basically at Belt Line and the Dallas North Tollway so you're close to Addison and also close to the Galleria.

Debsi - My husband will be working at the Dallas Medical Center.
Hamiltonpl - What is the difference between North & South of 635??
Ommatidia - Can you give me more information on those townhomes by the Country Club?
Jimithing78 - I saw the Estancia Townhomes and they are nice. Do you know of any other locations that are similar to them?

Does ANYONE have a friend or relative that's a realtor that I could contact to help me find a place????

(Mini Rant)People that live inside 635 generally have a superiority complex. At least the ones on this board do. They like to come on here and tell people they need to live in a certain part of town without considering what that person actually wants or needs. (/Mini Rant)

Edit: Could you give us a little more information about what area of town you'll be working? It would help us give better suggestions.

I'm disabled so I'm home all day. Therefore, it's important to me to live in a community environment where I can get to know other people. I also need to be close to some type of transportation as well. I current live in a suburb and have enjoyed being outside of the city.

His job is at Dallas Medical Center, 7 Medical Parkway, Dallas, 75234 but I would like to live North of there if possible. What about Coppell, Grapevine or the SW Plano area?

This location is on the north side of LBJ 6-35 and Webb Chapel on the border of Dallas and Farmers Branch. Coppell would be a good option but you are not going to find many townhomes or condos. You will not be right near a DART rail line in Coppell.
