Frisco???
Is this a nice area to live? My husband and I will be moving to DFW and this sounds like a nice area.

It is but do you know where you are working? You have to be careful with traffic. Hope you have kids or you may feel left out  |

If you post more specifics on what you enjoy and which fields you work in, we may be able to provide better input...

Frisco
I work in Frisco and I like it. It is kind of an up and coming community right now, lots of new growth, lots and lots of amenities. Stonebriar Mall is a wonderful shopping mall if you're into shopping as many of us ladies are  !It has several sports teams if you're into sports. As someone else intimated, it is very family-oriented in Frisco. It really depends on what you are looking for in a community, but yeah, Frisco is a very nice place. |

If you like to hang around the house - sticking to the northern burbs will work for ya - you get a bit more house for the money than being in close to downtown. If he works in the computer field, he shouldn't have a difficult time finding a position. DFW has a good chunk of tech jobs - although Frisco is a little north, just ensure he's prepared to have anywhere from a 15 min to 60+ min drive to work, depending where he gets a job.

I'd definitely recommend you consider renting until you find jobs. The Metroplex is larger than New Jersey, and a commute from Granbury to Garland, or Waxahachie to Frisco would get very old, very quickly if you're locked into a mortgage.

Definitely follow his advice. This is also the advice given by many others such as myself.
The housing market here is pretty flat and moves slowly, there should not be a rush to get into anything right away. Technically, most of the homes coming on the market today will be there in 6 months when the lease on your apartment is up. Find out where you belong, both from a personally and professional basis. My mind has changed 25 times in the 6 months I've been here.
