I don't want to live in suburbs since we like our privacy and need some space from neigbors, but we don't want to be too far away from grocery stores etc. either. Currently we are thinking about Mc Kinney, Allen , Wylie etc. We are looking for a 4 bed/ 3+ bath house, with an acre+ backyard and pool and 2500+ sqft... Our budget is 250k - 450k and 500k the max in exceptional cases though we prefer the lower/middle range. How safe are the above mentioned paces? Also, where are the IT jobs located in dallas? I found lot of jobs in the north side like Richardson, Plano etc.

Also we have a 1 year old son, so good school districts are a must as well.
About commute : 40-45 minutes drive should be OK if we find our ideal house...
That is why I had suggested Parker with Plano ISD schools.

Even I skim over things sometimes. Hard to believe I know, but it does happen.
