Moving to Dallas?
Living in Dallas is different than living in the suburbs. Pricing on single family homes can be higher depending on the area. New construction is not as much since Dallas is well established. Suburbs may offer more amenities like community pools or other types of unique programs. However, all areas have something to offer to everyone! Call us if you have questions 214-914-6758.

The DeBerry Team - Moving to Dallas
 Originally founded in 1841 as a trading post in the newly formed Republic of Texas, Dallas quickly grew into a major economic and cultural hub with the construction of railroads. In its early decades, Dallas was known for cotton farming and cattle drives; the rail lines played an integral role in exporting these local products to other markets. Later, the area would thrive with the discovery of oil reserves that brought great prosperity and new business to the burgeoning city. Today, Dallas is still a major player in the energy industry, but thrives thanks to its well-diversified economy rooted in telecommunications, manufacturing, technology, transportation, healthcare, and finance. The Big D is now one of the fastest-growing cities in the Southwest, and when you look around, it’s not hard to see why so many people are flocking here. Not only is it rich in history, but the city has a flourishing job market, affordable living, abundant arts and culture, and a happening food and nightlife scene.
If you're thinking about moving to Dallas, you’re likely familiar with its stereotypes as a glitzy, cosmopolitan, and sometimes pretentious place. But you may be wondering it’s really like to live and work here. Over at Great Guys Moving Company and Moonraker Marketing, our friends have created the following infographic that gives an overview of what to expect before moving to Dallas, covering everything from tax rates to the weather. For example, you may be anticipating a lower cost of living because it's in the Southwest, but did you know that the cost of renting an apartment here is 14.6% higher than the national average? Or that the cost of a doctor's visit is around 7.7% pricier? However, almost everything else - from a loaf of bread to a gallon of milk - is cheaper. Overall, the cost of living here is 4.8% lower than the U.S. average, the unemployment rate is 25% lower, and the state income tax rate is nil. Other perks? Although known for its urban sprawl, Dallas actually has several walkable neighborhoods close to downtown filled with bars, restaurants, shops, and entertainment. And though summers can be brutal, winters here are relatively mild and typically snow-free.
Though its summers are hot and its roads are notoriously congested, there are many reasons to love living in Dallas. After all, where else can you get a birds-eye view of the Dallas skyline from the top of the Texas Star Ferris Wheel, snap a selfie with Big Tex, or stroll the grounds of the well-manicured Dallas Arboretum? These are just some of the reasons we love calling Dallas home, and we know you will too. As you prepare for your move to the Big D, let the DeBerry Team help you find the perfect place to call home. Whether you're looking for a luxurious home in the suburbs of Plano or a stately residence in McKinney, our agents can help you find the perfect place to start your new life in North Dallas.
