You want to move to a place you never been too?
lol......Good luck!

Dallas is a great place to live. Oak lawn area is very nice. It's expensive for sure in that part. Prop values in the oak lawn area are off the chain. We're talking 600k for a 1,500 sq ft house in mid cities and can reach 6 million in oak lawn. You can get a nice loft for about 1,600/mo. Smoking hot chicks all over the place. You have SMU right there. American Airlines arena within minutes in Downtown. 5 star restaurants all over. You have the Stars, Cowboys, Rangers and Mavs to go watch.
I live about 30 minutes north of Downtown in a suburb called Double Oak. I rent a house from my uncle. It's a upscale, older neighborhood with big lots. The good thing about Dallas is you can live in the suburbs where there are really nice houses that are more reasonable. My gf lives in a town called Sunnyvale. She has a 4,500 sq ft house and paid 390k. Whatever your budget is you can find it in Dallas. Yeah, dide that would be cool. I can show you all the hot spots and hang out.
The only piece of advice that I can give you is to not move to the area of Double Oak (unless you like the "alternative" lifestyle). That whole area is heavily populated with them.
I talked to a couple of people who had to go out to that area for business and they said that every person out there is very flamboyant. They don't even try to hide it.
Good luck whatever you do.

Yep. That's my work's zip code downtown.
Traffic is really weird going towards downtown.
Sucks a little bit coming from every direction except west.
I take 35S in to downtown and it's not that bad actually.
You would be 7 mins in traffic from your work in the area you are looking.
Was not familiar, so I looked up Double Oak.....was complete farmland when I left DFW in 1997.
On Google Maps, Double Oak Tx has a default Google Street View of 239 Whistling Duck...it is hilariously perfect example of probably 80% of DFW suburban sprawl past 20 years.
Flatten some farmland, put a 2500 sq ft house with peaked wood shingle roof on an 1/8 acre plot....circle driveway, drop a couple of $100 live oak sprouts in front, $1000 worth of generic landscaping and bermuda lawn cut sharply to 2"
I travel out to the Dallas a few times a year for work. I HATE it. The hole area around the city sucks. The traffic sucks (and I go to NY and Philly all the time, so I have a reference).
I will say the McKinney area is very nice. Newer homes, open area but not out in the middle of nowhere.
