My Husband has an opportunity in Fort Worth (actually Duncanville) that is very difficult to resisit. We live in Toronto, have 4 children, 2 daughters in University and 2 sons in High School. The most difficult will be for my son who has been in his current highschool for 2 years already, to pull him out of it will be torture I think.
I have been looking extensively on where to live. So far this is what seems to appeal to me, but really I haven't a clue, Addison, University Park, Highland Park and Plano.
Maybe if I could find an area that I love, this transition will not be sooo difficult for our family. I really would love to have an established neighborhood, looove trees, an old house would be ideal. I saw some beautiful craftsman houses. A new house in an established neighborhood would be fine too. I would like to be able to walk to places and not have to be forced to drive the car everywhere. A pool would be wonderful. Price range would be approx. 450k to 550k. (possibly 600K)
Any information would be greatly appreciated. It's all very exciting and scary, we haven't even made a decision yet as to whether or not my husband will even accept this position.
(hey, just because we're Canadians doesn't necessarily mean we play hockey, so we don't have to be close to a rink, however my sons are solidly into sports...just not Hockey...surprised?) Actually my son loves football so I'm hoping I could convince him how much the Americans appreciate football (oops, stereotyping) ...there is no football team in his highschool.

....Thanks : )

You should post this on the Dallas forum. Duncanville is a suburb of Dallas rather than Fort Worth and all the other suburbs you mentioned.

I am pretty sure that you are looking at 1M+ for University Park and Highland Park.

I was going to say... Duncanville is a HAUL from where I live (Keller). I have a friend that lives there though and the times we've visited it looks very nice! some nice hills and open fields... Plano would be far away too, I think.
