Getting To Know Dallas, TX

By Roy Owens

When it comes to Dallas, Texas, the expanse of the suburbs is quite amazing and also seems to be never ending. You have Allen, Plano and McKinney at the peripheral areas. A new trend in town development in the form of 'exurbs' is being seen in places like Richardson which is at a distance of approximately 20 miles to the northeast of downtown Dallas. The Telecom Corridor has developed here and with other companies moving here, the pace of growth in this area has been nothing short of dizzying.

Located to the east of north Dallas, Richardson is home to the renowned "telecom corridor" and many high-tech companies. Flanked by most of Dallas' major highways: (Tollway, I-90 George Bush, Central Expressway, 121) Richardson real estate consists of many older homes in established neighborhoods with mature trees and lush landscaping. Located just seconds from Uptown and minutes from Downtown Dallas, Turtle Creek provides residents access to all that the city has to offer. Town homes and high-rise condos are expanding in this area.

One of the other areas in Dallas is Highland Park, which is in between Oak Lawn and SMC, close to Central Expressway and Mockingbird. It is one of the best places to live in the whole of Texas according to surveys and polls. The captivating Turtle Creek is also close by with its beautiful stroll ways and also a host of exquisite homes that you can choose to buy. As far as demographics go, Highland Park is the 19th wealthiest city in the US with a population of over 1000 and 41st wealthiest, overall.

Plano is another well established area in Dallas. It has the reputation of being an exciting place to reside in, and while it was razed to the ground in 1881, it was quickly reconstructed. Plano has a number of gristmills, sawmills and also store works which are general. This is why so many early Texans settled here, in order to get employment and also be able to stay in the vicinity of their place of work. In terms of population growth, Plano had 7% increase, Allen 11% McKinney a 9% rise and Frisco had an 8% hike in population numbers.

Lake Highlands is famed for its dedication to families and community. Lake Highlands has pockets of dilapidated housing interspersed through its area, but its single family detached neighborhoods are pretty stable. Far east of Dallas is different where several neighborhoods are turning into rental communities or ultra-cheap housing. Lakewood in Dallas, Texas is a collection of established neighborhoods of older homes with wide streets and mature trees, located east of Dallas near Whiterock Lake. There are several Historic and Conservation Districts within the area protecting the many old homes and history of the Dallas vicinity. - 23223
