Have fun with that commute. YIKES!
You can wind your way over to the Dallas North Tollway and take it down to right by Parkland. Time? Any guess from day to day on that one. One wreck and it's over with.

Google says it is 28 miles, with estimated 55 minutes in traffic. Yikes!
There are LOTS of nice places to live that are a better commute to Parkland...

Go south 75 and use George Bush Turpike HW go West to North Tollway and go South on Tollway to Downtown Dallas. I think Parkland Hospital is on Harry Hines Street.
I would also take another alternative cost-effective  commute. Drive down to Plano Dark Train Station Center, park car there and take the train go to downtown Dallas and take Dark bus connection to Parland Hospital. 
Hope you have an idea.

Get a cheap hotel room near Parkland and go to Allen on the weekends.

Gotta agree here though. It would probably be a LOT cheaper than the gas and wear & tear on the car. |
