Costbean.....My wife and I moved in October of 2006 from Miami and it was the best move we made. We had a condo in Miami Lakes and really couldnt afford the kind of house in the kind of neighborhood we wanted. What people dont understand when they ask me "omg, Miami is a paradise. Why did you move here?" is that most 3/2 no garage in Miami are around 300k. So it would be like buying a 3/2, 1500sqft in a oak cliff type neighborhood for 300k.
I had a friend in Miami who had family in frisco. I live in Mckinney which is east of frisco and north of Allen.....
Everything is different here but for the better. They even have a cuban resturaunt in frisco that is really good.
Email me with any questions you have. I will be glad to help you with anything I can as I was helped by my friend's family when I moved.
