Questions for Texans
Now | Me

Posted on 6/26/2020, 11:45:14 PM by GunHoardingCapitalist

I am considering taking an engineering job in Lewisville Texas and was wondering if there are decent nieghborhoods since the job consists of 50% or more travel I would want my stuff safe while I am away. I dont mind having a 30-45 minute commute, so I would be in that distance range. I am currently in Washington state and have been waiting a year and a half for a position to open with them. My other option is Peachtree Corners Georgia.

I may not respond, just because im currently at work.

Thanks.

I’ve been to Frisco.
Just a visit.
Seemed unassuming in a Texas kinda way.
Probably loaded with successful liberals so they won’t steal your sh*t.

Check out Flower Mound, nice area. Argue is nice, not too far. Still has a rural feel in some spots.

Welcome to Texas. Please leave any liberal views in Washington. We got more than we need already.

Yep, just moved from there last year, wanted to be a little closer to the office, but it’s a pretty good place to raise a family.

It seems though, that DFW is getting inundated with folks from India, they were taking over Flower Mound, and where I moved to as well.

They should change the name. Let autocorrect pick names all over the country.

Richardson TX. I work in logistics, and my clients are in the greater DFW area. Richardson TX is lovely. I’d move there, but my heart is in Chattanooga TN as it’s a trucking hub and I want to retire in the mountains.

Justin is next to Argyle, nice small town. Stepson and his family live there. He loves it, good schools.

I lived in the DFW area for 28 years. I had to move to ATL for my job, been here 10 years and would move back to the DFW area in a minute. Texas people the best , not very “nice” people in the Atlanta area as a whole. My only hope in escaping Georgia will be retiring in Texas.

When I first used autocorrect my phone insisted on changing the O in Orick (the small town I’m from) to a P. I learned to read texts before sending.

Lewisville itself and all the surrounding towns/areas are all really nice and suburban, maybe a tad boring but it’s also built up a lot over the years. I wouldn’t think you would have problems there or any surrounding areas

There’s also a Buc’ees near Justin, next to I-35W. Their brisket sandwiches are scrumptious.

Indians have taken over North Texas. My elementary schools are 80% Indian.

Lol well, in my defense, I’m on the phone, was laying down and not paying attention. I need some humor tonight

Flower Mound is nice and right next to Lewisville. You can go further north and try Denton, you would be committed to driving over Lake Lewisville on I-35, which can be a real problem. Also going west is Grapevine, Trophy Club, and Westlake. Trophy Club and Westlake are really nice but expensive. Lake Lewisville is immediately north and east of Lewisville. There are all kinds of communities out there so if living near water appeals to you that might be a good place. Flower Mound is right on a different lake so it wouldn’t be bad either.

I’m here in the middle of the Permian Basin, we try to stay as far away from that area as possible. Same with Austin, Houston, San Antonio and El Paso.
