Considered one of the best places to live in the country, the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex offers plenty of options for life, work and play. We can\u2019t wait for you to experience the magic for yourself, so take a look at our top five reasons you\u2019ll love living here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Relatively Lower Taxes (Compared To Certain States)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Texas has no income tax and no vehicle property tax. The absence of state income tax may offset any increase in property taxes<\/a>. Overall, tax rates in Texas have remained remarkably stable in recent years, though there have been minor fluctuations in some locations. However, when seeking the lowest property taxes on a home in the Metroplex, don\u2019t overlook the quality of the school district, or the county and municipal services offered. (Parks, libraries, swimming, other rec facilities.) Tax money also funds police and fire services, water supply, signage, trash pickup, recycling, and animal services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lower Cost of Living<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good news for relocating families: The Dallas\/Fort Worth area ranks among one of the most affordable<\/a> large metropolitan cities, from groceries to utilities to healthcare. The housing market in the area has consistently been one of the most affordable. Whether you\u2019re thinking about moving here, or have just made the move, you\u2019ll find a thriving community that measures up not only with its quality of life \u2013 but also with its affordability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Major Employers (Fortune 500 Companies)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DFW economy <\/a>is thriving, and offers one of the highest concentrations of corporate headquarters (Toyota, State Farm) in the country. When you live here, you\u2019ll have access to jobs in banking, IT, energy, medical research, healthcare, defense, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outdoor Living<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shopping & Entertainment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And most nights, live music echoes out of bars and theaters across the Metroplex. Fort Worth offers rodeos at the Stockyards, and weekend two-stepping at Billy Bob’s Texas nightclub.
