Ok folks I've been lurking on these boards for quite some time as I have been contemplating moving to the DFW area from California (surprise). I'm just quite tired of what has happened to the Bay Area in terms of affordability where the middle class has been squeezed out of the market almost completely.

Ok, with that off my chest my question is on Mansfield: how bad is the commute from Mansfield to Dallas?

As a recent law grad I don't have a job yet but have about $130k that I can spend on a house. As to work, I imagine I should be able to find something in the legal field sooner or later. My wife, a Pharmacy student (PharmD), should have no problems finding a job. We have no kids, but would like to start a family soon. With that in mind can you folks recommend some areas I should consider? Thanks!!!

I prefer Ft. Worth, actually.

Mansfield is pretty far south, and a hefty commute to downtown Dallas, even farther from North Dallas. Nothing wrong with Mansfield, but if you work anywhere in downtown Dallas or north of downtown, it's a 45 minute commute each way.

Mansfield is closer to Ft. Worth.
