I've listed cities below with good schools, low crime, and affordable real estate.

Carrollton (Dallas Area Rapid Transit - DART)

The Colony (No Public Transportation)

Richardson (DART Buses & Trains)

Plano, TX
There are areas in Plano where you could find affordable homes also. The schools are some of the best in the area. You could even live on the East side of I-75 if you choose a neighborhood close to the George Bush Turnpike. Don't let people tell you that East Plano is "ghetto". I have family and friends who live there and it's got a lot of nice, safe neighborhoods. Those people are used to expensive, "yuppie neighborhoods". Check out the Google Maps link below. You can get directions from one location to another and it will tell you how much time it will take during rush hour or not. I've already planned a trip from East Plano to Farmers Branch to show the time it takes. Give the trip plan a couple of seconds to load after clicking on the link.

Best place for young professional in Kansas City?

We Answered:

It sounds to me like you guys would love either downtown or the Plaza area. You said that Crown Center is your southern limit though, so that eliminates the Plaza.
If you look downtown, there are many modern loft-style apartments available. I imagine the further up the rent ladder you go, the fewer college students would be in the building. When I lived there, I would say that the people around me were a little older than college-age for the most part, since most of them would be out of their price-range downtown.
This is only my opinion but generally, I would say downtown is fairly safe. I lived there a while and never had a problem. On the other hand, you'll probably feel more comfortable doing your jogging, dog-walking, etc, in the morning or before it gets dark at night. I think the area near the Power and Light District has more foot traffic, so it's probably a little safer than somewhere where there are no people around.

Best place for young professional in downtown Kansas City?

We Answered:

Hi Newbie!

I’ve lived in Metro Condo for 3 years and LOOOOVED it. It was the perfect and I think it completely fits all of your criteria. I’ve tried to list specific answers in bold next to your criteria.

1. Someplace downtown. We want to experience the urban lifestyle It’s at 8th and Cherry street about 7 blocks from the Sprint Center, P&L district, and River Market (in different directions)

2. Safety. I know crime can happen anywhere, but I don’t want to be worried about taking our dog out at night or walking home from dinner I have never given walking home from my office (10th and Main) a second thought. At night I won’t walk alone, but I wouldn’t do that anywhere. I walked home from concerts all the time with my friends with no problems ever!

3. Allows a small dog The building allows dogs (1 or 2, no more) up to about 20ish lbs but you would have to talk to your landlord to verify.

4. Quite (thick walls) The building is cement. Occasionally, on the weekend, I would hear music from my next door neighbors unit coming from under the front door but really had no issue with noise.

5. Area that has people of similar age. We’ve done the college thing, so now we’re looking for the late 20s - early 40s range Metro Condo’s units are really big enough for families (but perfect for 2 like my husband and I) so you have a lot of younger people and couples. There are some empty nesters but would say the majority of the residents are younger. The building is also not real close to the colleges downtown so there don’t seem to be a lot of college students.

6. Walking distance to shops, food, bars. (Just so we don’t have to drive all the time) Also would like a gym and security controlled parking/entrance. You can walk to some shops, all of P&L and Sprint Center and if you’re up for it the Crossroads section. There is a bus about 1 block from the building that will take you directly to the Plaza and Westport (the Max).

The parking is secured with a key card that you need to get into the parking garage/lot and then again to get into the building. There is a fully equiped gym and pool and sauna on the roof. There are also some other amenities that you might like.

Our budget is around $1000 a month rent, but would be willing to go a little higher for more amenities. Also, the area we are looking is south of the river, and north of the crown center (again for the walking aspect) Thank you for helping me get my search stated Your budget sounds about right depending on how big of a unit you’d like. If you want some more info on the building from an insiders perspective feel free to private message me. Because of a short term job relocation I don’t live in the building right now but am still on the message board and can find all the units that are available.

I also know the area pretty well, since I lived there for almost 4 years, if this isnt the building you’re interested in.

Hope this helps and good luck in your search!

Employment for Special Needs in Kansas City, MO?

We Answered:

I work with special needs adults myself, and one of the clients has a part-time job with CVS. I'm not for sure what other businesses might work with your friend, but depending on where in Kansas City you live, you might get into contact with Heartstrings Community Foundation. They provide services for higher-level special needs adults, and might be able to help guide you into something that would work for her. Even if the young lady isn't in the right area of KC, or her needs are different than what HCF can help with, they should be able to help direct you to places that can. Here is their website:

Hope I've helped :-)
