I used to live between Ft Worth and Dallas, in the Grapevine/Colleyville area, not but 2 miles from the DFW Airport. Now I live in Garland, right across Ray Hubbard Lake from Rockwall.
Both are nice areas, but different. You'll really need to come down and tour all the areas you might be interested in to get a good idea of what you want/like.
Hit me up if you need any more info!

Katy area is great in the falcon point area....falcon point is a good size golf course with houses starting at around 160k i believe and cinco ranch is right next door but they are around 250k plus and pin oak is around 200k plus. Down grand parkway @ I-10 is a brand new memorial hermann branch hospital for your wife. and KISD has 6 high schools working on a 7th and they have some of the best teachers around...if you need info PM me

I live just north of the DFW metroplex and I like it but if I were moving here I'd probably go to San Antonio. Smaller city, good property values, less traffic, plenty of things to do there and I think the scenery is better there.
