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!

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.

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 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 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

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

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.

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.

- Harlowe (Euless,TX)
- Adeline at Centreport (Fort Worth, TX)
- Mosaic Dallas (Dallas, 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!

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!
