Whats the best neighborhood for young professsionals in Dallas?|175414

I am a 22 y.o. student graduating in a few weeks and relocating to the Dallas area for work. I will be working in Plano but want to live closer to the city near other young professionals. I have heard rent is pretty high in Uptown/Downtown. Where is a good place to live outside of these areas with affordable (under $1000 for 1bed) rents?

You_d have the best of both worlds in Plano or Frisco ... very nice towns, with good shopping, restaurants _ housing - low crime rates - and just a short drive to downtown Dallas....

My daughter who is a single, young professional lives and works in Plano. She loves it. She has a large, very nice 1 BR apt. near Preston _ Park (across the street from million dollar homes, literally). $850 a month at LaVentura Apt. My neice is a single, young professional who lives in Uptown and pays over $1,100 for less sq. ft., but it_s nice there too. So either Plano or Uptown would be a nice, safe place for a young woman to live. Welcome to the area.

Addison is a great place to live. It is on the Tollway right to Downtown. I have lived here for 8 yrs. $10 lifetime membership to the Athletic center.

Best of luck
