[@sheronlee152]

You are right about bad traffic. I think you down played it too much. 380 is a nightmare. I live in an eastern suburb you didn't mention, thankfully 😂. And I shudder when I have to drive to McKinney to do my tax business. Etc. and plano regularly have their streets torn up redoing them. If you live north of 380 in those suburbs, plan for a loooong commute if you work to the south. I suppose if you're retired these areas are good especially when it comes to shopping or medical facilities. But most of us are priced out of owning homes in these areas. It's expensive to live here. Course it was somewhat better before the big C hit.

[@judizeleny3850]

I lived off of 380 for a couple years. About 2 weeks ago I talked to a friend still living off of 380, she said it is so crazy. My son lived there but moved 3 years ago. But goes back often and I knew it was bad, but my friend said it’s gotten so much worse. I remember people drove way too fast and almost every week there was a fatality accident. But I to loved Frisco, Prosper, I remember before it began to grow so much. My friend daughter lives in Allen, she said it’s really a wonderful city to live in. Different she said thank you like Frisco. I loved McKinney too a lot. Spent only a little time in Plano but I liked it. I also loved Celina, my friend told me it is still pretty small town. For now. We did the antique shop and resale shops and music I remember. I actually miss the fun I had in all these towns between hiking, Going to Lake Lewisville, to kareogi nights, places to go listen to music and enjoy a glass of wine 🍷, or Elvis music night! Visiting winery’s. So many great memories

I moved out of Dallas decades ago when they started taxing my car. Plus the plumbing and other infrastructure has to be repaired constantly and that means tearing up the street.

[@iazap]

I hate contradicting this video but Frisco is huge, really huge and difficult to traverse if you’re not in the right area especially with the school zones. It’s a really great deal for real estate agents but not so great for buyers especially with the US-380 and DNT traffic headache. Plano is old money town mostly for retirees who have enough to splurge and has some of the same problems as Frisco. Did I say it’s old? It’s same for Prosper, McKinney or anywhere in the middle of Collin County which this entire video is focused on. Most of the new community developments are just cutting corners and not a great place to start a family especially if you’re holed in 6 months of the year indoors with the fam. East of 75 is a really big area to miss when moving to Dallas. Lots of development on the 635E side is also affecting the traffic but once it becomes more accessible people will miss getting in while it’s still affordable.

[@mattstewart4199]

Interesting take on the area. We moved from Flower Mound after 25 years to Uptown. We are retired so schools and other things have fallen in priority. However, we have had an incredible rise in quality of life. Traffic in the suburbs is terrible. Main intersections are many cycles to get through. It took about 20-30 min to get anywhere. Uptown is sort of the eye of the storm with regard to traffic. We are surrounded by it but hardly affected. We are 5-10 min from everything. Medical, AA Center, Arts, Klyde Warren, restaurants. Plus, the McKinney trolley is amazing. We are not blighted by endless strip centers and franchises. Taxes are a little higher but expenses are a little less. In a Condo utilities are way less. No direct lawn car or pool upkeep. Property insurance is 1/4 what it was in Flower Mound. Maybe you could feature this Dallas living option in an upcoming show? For short trips we can Uber. Rarely have to drive long distances. Also, there has been a lot of new multifamily and we have a great mix of young and retired. We share everything in shifts. We take early and they take late.😊

[@LiveNorthofDallasTexas]

It is interesting when your life circumstances change lifestyle and quality of life desires change. Like when the school system and work drop out of the equation for where you might live, many more and different opportunities open up to you like condominiums in a in a urban area and the Dallas ISD public schools don't affect you. I used to own a condominium in the Aventura in Addison circle before I got married and I loved it (but I didn't like the $500+ a month HOA. My wife on the other hand could not even think of living in a condo lifestyle. So I used my better judgement 😊 and we moved to the suburbs of West Allen and I’ve been here ever since.

North DFW is by far the nicest areas. I find myself on the opposite end of the argument many times. I grew up in Dallas county and my family is urgently looking to leave the area. There's a lot of good here, but things have just gone crazy. I don't recognize it anymore. If you want to avoid endless construction and a substantial commute, don't move to these areas. If you want to live in a neighborhood that is walkable and has many things to do nearby, look elsewhere. Everything here requires driving and the counties here are focused on expanding as fast as possible. DFW traffic will rival LA traffic if they keep expanding irresponsibly. And no, highway expansions won't work.

[@theexpert1825]

Taxes are very very high everywhere in Dfw. It's almost as expensive as california. High home prices and taxes. Lots of Toll roads. Bad schools so have opt for private schools. Bad weather tornados, hail, high winds arctic blasts with icy roads thunder storms which can torch your home. You pay high electric bill in summers and high gas bill in winter. High water bills. High home and auto insurance, Less salaries compared east and west coast. Bad traffic. The list can go on.

Found South to be best Why South Dallas 1 Noise If you loook at a noise map of all of Dallas county and the suburbs South Dallas is 70% less noise than anywhere in DFW area. 2. Traffic No traffic outside of grid lock times 7-9 & 4-6 South Dallas has zero traffic. I mean you can drive to anywhere with out fear of road rage. 3. Home $ Cost My 5 br 3 bh single story 1/4 acre cost me $190,000 Now this same home 2024 today will cost you $400,000 but next week that may go down in value like the Dow has today dropped 1,000 points. 4.

Unless you have $480K-$1 million you can forget... McKinney, Frisco, Prosper, Celina, Flower mound, Plano, Allen, Highland Village, Copper Canyon. Keep in mind that prior to the pandemic in 2019, vast majority of the homes in most of these areas were between $140k-$300K. Also, neighborhoods in East Plano and parts of East Allen are falling apart with overpriced homes from the 1970s and 1980s. West Plano properties start at $600K. I am not a 1st time homebuyer, i have equity, but many properties are overpriced for what they offer.

You can purchase NewConstruction starting in the low $300's. Over priced? Yes some. Most. It's just the new price if you want to live here. Why? There has been a 100,000+ influx of people every year....demand has out paced supply here as it has across the nation. Many older homes have been renovated and many have not....from the 70's-80's. There are homes all over the nation that are that old and older and are well maintained. My home was built in early 90's and it has been completely renovated and just fine.

@@LiveNorthofDallasTexas to each their own sir. Was raised up here in little the colony Texas and I’ve witnessed it first hand the mass population growth here and the surrounding cities. It’s ridiculous man I see it everyday.

Mansfield and Arlington are better than Celina, Melissa, and Prosper.

[@sleepmoneyken9234]

@wizdomtrust1596 You can drive to a ball game or six flags "Mark" .Those amenities are not everyday living . Arlington is dirty ,ghetto , highways are overcrowded with bad drivers, and its outdated . The North is none of the above and safer and has plenty of new construction . You must be in your 20s and living paycheck to paycheck . No successful adult would choose Arlington to live ...maybe visit only .

OK. Thanks romansmetak9212 Phil Martin

Zero interest in a master plan community. I want rural.

[@LiveNorthofDallasTexas]

Plenty of that as well. More than 1 acre? Call or IM me. Phil Martin

[@VahidMusictx]

None of these are suburbs of Dallas. You weirdos in Dallas need to quit trying toninflate the size of Dallas. Frisco, Mckiney and prosper and Melissa aren’t even in Dallas county. lol. It’s Colin county.

[@LiveNorthofDallasTexas]

@VahidMusicTX.... Thanks for taking the time to make this comment. You are correct. But people who are not from around here do not know about Collin county and certainly are not going to search by "Collin" County. Even people who live here do not search by "Collin" County. I'm and trying to do people a favor who don't know the "Dallas" area to find "Collin" County. That is why the name of my channel is Live NORTH of Dallas Texas. What is North of Dallas Texas Vahid....yes it is Collin County. In the intro to virtually every video I say ...." my team and I do everything residential real estate in the neighborhoods and cities NORTH of Dallas Texas cities like, Plano, Frisco, Allen, Prosper, Celina, McKinney"....etc, etc. etc. Just watch a few and you'll hear it. If I had a channel for every city that would be unmanageable. If I had a channel about Collin County, very few people would find it. So hope that helps and thanks for taking the time to give us your opinion......Phil Martin

[@somerga]

These are North Texas cities along with the city of Dallas. What's your point?

[@LibrasLion]

If they are not suburbs of Dallas what city are they suburbs of? You think 300K people moved to Plano because of …. Plano? 😂

[@EntropyPersonified]

Of course these cities exist in the same county as the City of Dallas which goes into 5 counties…. Dallas, Collin, Denton, Rockwell and Kaufman Counties.

[@morganfbilbo462]

What a lot of crap. Every one mentioned is North. And all the most expensive suburbs. Not to mention the traffic. Driving in any of the cities mentioned is horrendous. Go South and it's cheaper, not to forget less traffic. This guy lives in one, so how is he not prejudiced?

[@pureceeparis]

They can stay North. Traffic is already becoming worse down this way.

[@LiveNorthofDallasTexas]

Morgan, Thanks for taking the time to air you opinion. Although not mentioned my team and I routinely help people buy NEW construction homes priced at $270ish and up. It is more expensive in Collin than say....Hunt or Johnson. But those are completely different offerings, lifestyles etc. Not right, not wrong just different. Live where you like! Thanks for the comment. Phil Martin

[@kenjudithglover]

These suburbs you mentioned…..they are ALL MORE EXPENSIVE THAN DALLAS! Did they pay you to advertise them? Check out these other, MUCH BETTER TOWNS that people have written about in these comments. Places where FAMILIES CAN AFFORD TO LIVE. Hope this doesn’t violate any rules by being honest, pal, but you didn’t do your homework!

[@LiveNorthofDallasTexas]

Ken Hutchinson and Judith Glover....what are you selling. Interesting way to advertise. Something to be said about being positive. Have a great day. Phil Martin

All of Dallas is expensive, greed has consumed the whole DFW area.
