What are the best Dallas suburbs for families ?

Hi Global Nomad,

You'll find that Dallas caters well for those with children. Houses are generally large so can accommodate families, and there are lots of good public and private schools in the city.

The first thing you should do as an expat parent is decide where you want you child to be schooled. It is important that where you choose to live falls into the correct school district that allows you child to attend the school of their choice.

There are number of family-friendly suburbs in Dallas, for example Southlake, which is close to a number of great schools and lots of large housing options. You'll find in these types of areas competition for school places is particularly high, so get in early with your applications.

For a detailed overview of various expat neighbourhoods in Dallas, take a look at the Areas and Suburbs of Dallas page.

Good luck with the househunt.
