I’m flying into Dallas for a weekend and am looking for a cute cocktail lounge / bar that takes reservations and plays decent music. I know a lot of these places do rnb on specific nights , but I’m looking for a Friday night vibe that I can also have a table to sit at. It doesn’t have to be full rnb just not like constant house or overly uppity vibes? Let me know if this exists 😂

Hello everyone! I’ll be visiting Dallas for the first time next week and will have one day to explore. Since I don’t know anyone in the area, I would love your recommendations for places to visit, restaurants or cafés to try and activities to enjoy on my own around downtown. Any suggestions to help me make the most of my day would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello! My family is relocating from Central Florida to DFW for work. I had the opportunity to visit for a weekend and have narrowed our search down to Plano, Coppell, and Allen.

I’m second-generation Cuban American, my husband is Black, and our elementary-aged son is a beautiful mix of both. We lean more liberal and are fully aware of the political climate in Texas. We’re relocating for work, so I’m hoping for insight into the cities/communities themselves rather than advice to avoid Texas altogether. 😂

I’ve been researching schools and neighborhoods, but demographics and ratings only tell me so much. I’d love to hear from people who actually live here, especially other interracial couples and multiracial families. Do you feel comfortable and welcomed? Have you been able to make friends and find your people?

For parents, what has your kids’ experience been like at school? Have they experienced racist comments or exclusion? If something happened, did the staff take it seriously and handle it well? I’d love to hear positive experiences too. I’m looking for an honest picture, whatever that looks like.

Are there particular neighborhoods or elementary schools you’d recommend? How do Plano, Coppell, and Allen compare in your experience? **Are there other areas we should consider** with strong schools and a welcoming, family-friendly community?

We’re excited about the move and want somewhere we can put down roots, build friendships, and raise our son feeling comfortable and proud of who he is. Thanks for anything you’re willing to share. 🤗

Feel free to DM me if you’d rather not post publicly!

Hello everyone! I saw this mortgage group getting a lot of good reviews but not any bad. Their insta is @theprimemortgagegroup & i just wanna know if it’s legit. Does anyone know anything or anyone who has worked with these people.

I’m looking for a few locations for a class assignment where I need to photograph people in action. It can range anything from doing sports, exercising, working, etc, as long as it’s an area with a variety of people doing different things.

I would prefer to avoid downtown areas however I understand there are likely great locations there.

I’m currently apartment hunting and would love some recommendations from people who actually live in the Dallas area or have experience with different apartment communities.

My budget is $1,300 maximum for base rent for a one-bedroom apartment. Ideally, I’d like something around $1,150–$1,250, but I’m willing to go up to $1,300 for the right place.

I’m looking for an apartment that has a newer or updated interior, preferably with modern finishes.

My preferences:

• Budget: $1,300 maximum base rent
• Bedrooms: 1 bed/1 bath (not interested in studios)
• Size: Preferably 650+ sq. ft.
• Location: Bluffview, Love Field, Medical District, Oak Lawn, Design District, Inwood Village, or surrounding neighborhoods
• Safety: This is a big priority for me, especially secure parking and minimal issues with car break-ins.
• Amenities: In-unit washer/dryer preferred.
• Move-in: ASAP, ideally within the next week.

I’d love to hear about management responsiveness, maintenance, pest issues, parking security, and whether you genuinely enjoyed living there.

I’m not expecting perfection or a high-rise luxury apartment for $1,300. I just want a nice, updated, safe-feeling place that fits my budget.

Has anyone ever booked with XXOO studio? Aka Taylor smith makeup. What was your experience? I have questions about her/their services

Selling our home through a relocation company and have to choose from the following appraisers for a valuation before listing. Anyone have ANY experience with any of them?

Barbara S Bloomberg

Heldenbrand & Associated - Rick Heldenbrand

Are Backpacks allowed into the state fair this year? Taking the train from fort worth and planning on working on my laptop if possible.

Good morning y'all,

I finally found a job that will pay the bills after looking up here post grad school graduation for almost 100 days.

I accepted a position out of SW Fort Worth and I'm looking for places near the North half of Ft. Worth that I can afford and are also quiet/safe.

My budget is up to but hopefully less than $1,200/month.

Do yall have any companies that you can recommend that will help me find a place by the end of October?

If you personally have any recommendations id be happy to hear them too.

Hoping to find something closeish to the Riverside area or surrounding suburbs, only because that puts me less than 30 minutes from the friends i know in the central dfw area and less than 30 minutes from work.

Hey everyone, I have narrowed down my list from 33 places to 12 places that I want to actually tour and pick from based on location, commute, and quality. I am looking for advice from anyone who knows about these apartments, has lived there, or the management.

- The Franklin at Samuels Ave (Fort Worth, TX)
- Harlowe (Euless,TX)
- Adeline at Centreport (Fort Worth, TX)
- Mosaic Dallas (Dallas, TX)
- Factory Design District (Dallas, TX)
- LTD West Commerce (Dallas, TX)
- 2201 E Arbrook Blvd (Arlington, TX)
- Ironcrest Apartments (North Richland Hills, TX)
- Ascent at Mountain Creek (Dallas, TX)
- Birchstone Cedar Ridge (Dallas, TX)
- Aven at the Cove (Grand Prairie, TX)
- Alpine Creekside (Haltom City, TX)

If you have lived here, worked with these places as a locator, or have known someone who lived there please provide all positive and negative feedback! I am hesitant about the Greystar owned ones since that company has a ton of horror stories, but each one is different!

I am planning a photo shoot and want to find a hotel room with a good view of the downtown skyline to use as a backdrop. Any recommendations?

Who do you recommend for floor installation in DFW? It would involves removing mostly carpet and one small section of tile, and installing vinyl flooring and vinyl tile. Ideally someone affordable who also handles moving the furniture out of the way. Thanks!

In town for work next Monday and hoping to watch the MNF game at a good spot - even better if it’s DC sports aligned

I’m staying downtown Dallas so would ideally be located there

Thank you in advance!

Looking for a plastic surgeon that specializes in noses, particularly if they have good experience with secondary nose jobs? Bit of an interesting case, as it’s not a REVISION….just decided to finally do the septoplasty after more nose deviation and some slight breathing issues.

Septoplasty wasn’t “necessary” first go-around, so didn’t do it. Now, later in life, ready to pull the plunge.

Want to look like MYSELF, just with the septum straightened and, hopefully, with some easier breathing.

Thanks in advance!!’

ow about Highland Village? Or are there any better options?

Long story short, my partner and I must move out of the place we're in due to some construction emergency the landlord is going to run, and we have decided to leave rather than stay during the construction.

Move out date is within a week or two, and we both work at UTD. We want to also stay kinda close to the city instead of going too far north.

Do you have good apartment recommendations that can handle lease in a short amount of time?

Apartment Criteria

We do care about space, so 2 or 3 bedrooms, and at least 1600 sq ft (the bigger the better).

We don't care much about amenities (pool, grill, etc.), but having a terrace/porch would be appreciated!

We also drive and prefer places with parking or garages. The neighborhood matters, of course, but at this point she and I have realized Dallas is not like the other cities we've lived in, so as long as the apartment complex is not an eye sore and there are some shops and stuff around, we're fine.

Bonus point if there are sidewalks with shops to walk on in the evenings as the weather gets cooler!

I’m planning a bachelorette party for next August and hoping to find an Airbnb within walking distance of the nightlife. Any recommendations?

I moved here from the PNW and collect retro games. would love to know the good spots!

edit: thank you so much for your suggestions! my older brother visits from oregon in the summer and we used to hang out hitting all the local used game stores together so would love to do that here when he visits!

Hi, I’m visiting Dallas flying into DFW from NY to visit my gf. What place do you guys recommend to stay at as a poor college grad (hopefully looking for a budget place)?

Potentially staying from the 23rd to 26th.

Also any recommendations for visiting the Fort Worth Zoo? She’s a big fan of hyenas.

She’s not from Dallas and it’s meant to be a bit of surprise. Any other fun things to do for a 3 night stay?

Thanks for all the comments and support.

Hi y’all! I’m trying to figure out where to sign a long-term lease for within walking distance of the discovery district. ALL of the reviews for semi-affordable places downtown make them seem like awful non-options. Price range I’m hoping for is under 1.5k for 1bed1bath, so I know (and am fine with) my options will be kind of jank. I don’t need the most space, I just care that it’s clean/no bugs. I’ve looked into the Wilson and Manor House, and they are both around the price range, but some of the reviews are atrocious… would love some help from the Reddit family before signing!! thanks u guys :,)

Flying to San Diego next week and weighing my parking choices at DFW. Has anyone used FreedomPark? Is it better than just leaving my car at the terminal for a few days?

Hi, I recently moved to Dallas and looking for best OB-GYN. My insurance had high deductible of $3500.
Would greatly appreciate any suggestions for health care providers best for prenatal care considering affordability.
Thank you in advance!

Hey yall, I’m recently relocated to the area and going through a divorce. Does anyone have recommendations for a good therapist for anxiety, depression and ADHS preferably that accepts Tricare

Has anyone been able to get their 1 year old this season’s updated covid vaccine in North Texas? Where did you go for them to get it?

I have a 14 month old triplets that I would like to receive the updated covid vaccine but their pediatrician’s office does not stock it. I have called multiple other pediatricians in the area but none of them have the vaccine and none of them had a recommendation on where to go to receive it. Pharmacies legally can’t vaccinate children younger than three years old, so CVS/Walgreens/etc are not an option.

I believe that Dallas County Health & Human Services does have the new covid vaccine and can administer it to children under three, but the vaccine costs $145 and since they don’t accept insurance it would be $435 to get all three of my kids vaccinated.

Hopefully other parents have had more luck than me because it’s looking like my options are to find $500 or don’t get my babies vaccinated!

(I am only looking for advice on how/where to get my children the covid vaccine, please do not comment if you are just going to tell me that I shouldn’t get them the vaccine or that they don’t need the vaccine. The AAP recommends it for all children under 23 months old, and I am not interested in hearing any antivax opinions)
