I absolutely loved this video. I could relate to everything you talked about. I haven't lived in Texas for number of years now but miss it very much. You are awesome!

[@MeganSellsNewHomesDFW]

Thank you Kurt! Maybe I can help you move back one day haha

I’m a transplant from Wyoming living in Fort Worth, but I’ve become friends with a number of Californians. Several have gone back home, and I agree with their reasons. Summers are miserable, and there’s no public land and only two national parks located way out in west tex. Traffic in Austin and DFW is terrible and the state refuses to build public transit. Just endless highway expansions. Most housing that’s affordable comes with a 1-2 hour commute. Texas brought me my wife and has delicious brisket, but I can’t wait to move back home.

I feel you, the heat and traffic suck and it’s hard to find good places to hike and enjoy nature. I’ve managed to find a few favorite places, but nothing beats a hike in the mountains!

❤great video

@@Lucky7nono thank you, glad you got something out of it! 😊

Long time Texan. Solid video. I once stayed at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim and a mosquito landed on my arm. I laughed. It was cute compared to what we have in Texas. The first day was wonderful. I was on a ride and pointed to some mountains. The locals said you could not normally see those mountains. Then everything changed. The air turned dingy and smelled so bad it made me feel ill. Take it from a guy that grew up in Deer Park, TX with all of the petrochemical plants, the air in Anaheim was way worse. I guess the mountains trap the air out there. So all is not rosy in California in some places.

I grew up in Amna. How do you like it? It's completely different from when I graduated in 05. Great vid! Thanks

[@MeganSellsNewHomesDFW]

@@tjhudson3399 I love it here! It’s close to a major toll-free highway, the homes are affordable, and it’s not that far to drive to stuff when I want to leave the house. Our property values have gone up super quickly too, since the area is so fast growing. It’s fun to watch all the new development coming in

[@tjhudson3399]

@MeganSellsNewHomesDFW you should get into the country part. Like mudding. Back in the day, people in anna would go mudding, not sure they are dirt roads anymore, but Tiffany's road and goobs hill were popular by us locals. Also anna is surprisingly close to chachtaw

[@katianahilaire4818]

Hello, just found your channel and been watching all your videos! I had my eye on McKinney so bad because I love the downtown area, reminds me of a Hallmark channel. Now you are convincing me to look into Melissa and Anna. School district is. HUGE plus for me since I have little ones in elementary schools. McKinney is way out my budget, but I would like to be in an areas where I’m not driving 10 minutes for a Walmart. Can you tell me how is the diversity for these both towns? Thanks!

[@MeganSellsNewHomesDFW]

@@katianahilaire4818 I’m not able to share diversity demographics due to fair housing laws, but the information is very easy to find with a quick google search! There’s a couple communities really close to Walmart, I’d love to chat more with you so I can help you narrow it down. Would you be open to a free zoom consultation? No strings attached 😊

[@tjhudson3399]

​@katianahilaire4818 I grew up in Anna. Both Anna and Melissa have amazing athletic programs. Anna won state in football last year and Melissa won state in softball. Id pick Anna over Melissa because Melissa has a dump

[@raulrodriguez4006]

Being from Texas I can say the gulf of Mexico water is disgusting. So I agree on beaches.

[@MeganSellsNewHomesDFW]

@@raulrodriguez4006 thanks for backing me up on that one haha, I’ve never felt the urge to drive 5+ hours to find out 😂

[@Zarcon2008]

You have to be nuts to want to move here... really! 🤪

[@MeganSellsNewHomesDFW]

I just so happen to love nuts 😝

[@jasonfuller1001]

Lagoons? Those are just giant toilet bowls that everyone urinates in. Hard pass.

[@MeganSellsNewHomesDFW]

@@jasonfuller1001 I mean…it’s not any different from any public pool or water park 😂
