Let it go. Bluescreen73 has a serious DFW related hang up.

The kids are having fun in their sports teams but I don't think sports will be their career. They are at the top of their classes academically (but not in high school yet). They don't want to move at all.


The housing price is insane around Boston area in the last few years. We do see DFW has much nicer houses at the same price than in Boston area, but with the same price of houses, the monthly payment in DFW is much higher than in Boston area (higher taxes, higher homeowners insurance, HOA fee).



I probably will get the whole family down to DFW to have a feel as some of you suggest.


Thank you all for your thoughts and suggestions.

I was telling the OP that North Texas does have natural beauty. People can say that it doesn't but it does. Sure the views from the major highways aren't great but once one gets into the less developed areas, it does have its own kind of unique beauty.

There's nothing natural about lip filler and fake boobs. Just sayin'.

New England destroys DFW in natural beauty. The Appalachians are in its backyard. The Atlantic Ocean is right there. Cape Cod is nearby. The old-growth forest is everywhere. DFW has none of that.

GMAB. DFW is not the be-all-end-all. OP mentioned outdoor recreation. Boston > DFW in that category. No contest.

And I just came from Denver a few months ago, and so DFW is very lush and green to me. I very much prefer the terrain and flora of North Texas to the Front Range.

Focus. We're not comparing Denver to DFW. We're comparing Boston to DFW, and Boston is considerably more lush than DFW. I've been there. Have you?

The Driftless Area of Wisconsin. It, too, is more lush than DFW (and has more interesting terrain).

I'll take the less lush DFW over freezing my ass off in Boston winters and the mountains of brown snow piled up for months on end with a short couple of month respite from more freezing weather

To each their own
