So here I am - been looking at apartments and lofts for a couple days and quite frankly I'm more lost now than I was before.

So here goes:

I'm about to relocate to the DFW area for work - I am an account manager for a major company and most of my work is either done from my home office or at a clients office. This allows me the flexibility to be wherever I want. I am 29 (might as well say 30 but I'm staying in my 20's as long as possible), single, male, and looking for a community filled with young professionals and similar people.

Things that are important to me:

  • Safe area
  • Walkable Restaurants (good ones not McDonalds)
  • Good Bars (NOT CLUBS but Bars)
  • 2 Bedrooms are a MUST since I do work from home some
  • $1300 is MAX budget
  • Close vicinity to Interstates since some of my travel is outside the metro
  • My first preference is Downtown Dallas although I'm open to Downtown Ft. Worth and other areas.
So - that being said - lay it on me!!!!

(Remember I'm moving to the DFW area and do not know the area that much already - if you reference neighborhoods please include a map or streets so I can Google it)

Maybe (not knowing the OP personally) the Oak Lawn area? I can't really advise on Ft. Worth, as I've never spent more than a couple hours there at a time.

I don't know that you would be able to find a 2BR in Uptown for 1300 is the problem. I recently moved from the 75219 zip (Oak Lawn/Cedar Springs area) and could not find a decent 2BR for less than 1500 in either Uptown (75204) or Oak Lawn. I was paying 1200 for a 1BR. I was walking distance from restaurants but most of the bars in the area were the gay bars. Uptown or Knox-Henderson are really the only areas that I can think of that are walking distance from bars and restaurants but again, hard to find a 2BR for 1300 max.

Everybody and their brother will tell you Uptown. It appears to be the happening place for now.
Lofts are taking over. The city needs more support businesses to keep the influx of people wanting
to move to downtown Dallas from heading to the suburbs. Downtown Dallas is centrally located
to where your customer will have an office as well.
