I would think East Dallas, Kessler Park, or Oak Cliff would be your best options.

I spent time trying to find a mid point between Garland and Arlington and here is what I came up with:

Farmers Branch, Addison, Carrollton, Lewisville, Euless (Lewisville & Euless might be a little further than you want to be)

I know some people may say don't even look at schools, but I wouldn't recommend that. I speak from personal experience. You might have a "5 year plan" and plan on moving before you have kids old enough to start elementary school. But, what happens if the market tanks and you end up unable to sell your house? You're stuck. I like to use a combination of three resources to research schools
www.schooldigger.com
www.greatschools.com
and the TEA website.
What towns would you recommend for retirement in this general area? I am shocked at how high the property taxes are so I am looking, hopefully, to get out of town for lower PT's?
