Dallas is one of the largest cities in America, combining urban sophistication with an incomparable Texan personality. Dallas is an altogether unique blend of cultures, styles, and flavors, with more than one million people calling the city proper home.

Living in Dallas puts you right in the thick of it all, with endless options to customize your experience. Corporate professionals seeking to avoid long commutes may want to look for apartments in Downtown or Uptown, which are both home to major business centers as well as residential communities, affording many residents walkable access to work. Culture enthusiasts should consider apartments near the Dallas Arts District, which is home to the Nasher Sculpture Center, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Winspear Opera House, and more. Creatives may enjoy places like Old East Dallas and North Oak Cliff, where artistic pursuits abound.

Dallas offers some of the most diverse nightlife in Texas, from laid-back lounges to thumping night clubs. Dallas residents also enjoy some of the best shopping in the Southwest, from Galleria Dallas to downtown’s independent boutiques. A fast-growing light rail system, major highways, and busy airports connect Dallas and the surrounding Metroplex to the rest of Texas and beyond.

Cost

As one of America’s largest cities, the rental market in Dallas is incredibly diverse and covers a huge range of prices. Affordable apartments are available in several styles and sizes, and it’s not terribly difficult to find rates under $600 per month. On the other end of the spectrum, upscale houses and swanky properties go for over $10,000 monthly. Average rental rates for a one-bedroom apartment hover around $1,000 and just under $1,500 for a two-bedroom unit, making it one of the more affordable large cities in the country.

Transportation

While Dallas sometimes gets a bad reputation for traffic, just about every neighborhood in town is extremely walkable. If you decide to make your nest a bit outside the urban core, don't worry about being cut off from the city. There is no shortage of public transport in the area, and downtown is only a 20 minute DART light rail ride away from places like Richland. Also, McKinney Avenue Uptown is serviced by the McKinney Avenue Transit Authority streetcars, which are free to the public.

Shopping

No matter where your Dallas apartment is located, you will have no trouble finding excellent shopping options close to home. The West Village in particular finds its residents coexisting with all sorts of business, including charming boutiques and upscale shops.

In north Dallas, just off the toll way, you can visit the Dallas Galleria, which houses over 200 shops, boutiques, and restaurants. Virtually all of your shopping needs can be met here, just 10 minutes away from your Highland Terrace apartment in Richardson.

Restaurants

Thanks to its vibrant collective of cultural influences, Dallas is packed full of incredible dining options. Whether you're craving exquisite European cuisine, unpretentious diners, or the ever-popular Tex-Mex and barbecue, there will be plenty to satisfy your appetite, often only minutes from your Dallas apartment.

If you're looking for a food truck, head over to the Truck Yard on Lower Greenville. Lovingly referred to by locals as an "adult playground" with a tree house bar and at least three food trucks parked in the 15 thousand square feet of shady dining area, the Truck Yard is a one-of-a-kind Dallas experience. The trucks rotate daily, so check their schedule to see if something yummy catches your eye.

History

The area now known as Dallas was part of Spain’s vast colonial empire for centuries before the city was officially founded in 1841. The late 19th century brought enormous growth in both industry and population, and the young city rapidly developed into a modern metropolis with railroad access, electricity, and the first zoo in Texas (which is still in operation today). Aviation became a major industry starting during the First World War, with Love Field being established as a pilot training facility. Oil buoyed the city’s economy during the Great Depression, and helped turn Dallas into a financial powerhouse. A building boom starting in the late 1970s transformed the historic community into the city we see today, although many grand historic buildings have been preserved to honor Dallas’ rich legacy.
