I am a nursing student but I know for a fact that I will be moving to Dallas. I live in Arkansas but I want to give my dad a place to visit when he retires(and I also want to get away from home and the small city) My fiance and I have been looking for places that are close to Dallas but not in Dallas( the crime and all of that aren't very appealing) What are some of the palces I could check out- as far as buying a house or at least renting an apartment for my first year or so their. I want to be close to Dallas Children's Hospital. Put it like this- Where is a nice place to live and raise kids but still be close(30 minutes or so ) to Dallas- I prefer the suburbs. Thanks in advance!!
