Possible relocation to Mansfield,TX

My company is relocating at the end of the 2019, early 2020 to Mansfield Texas. I've been offered a position and would like to hear what people’s thoughts are on the area? Just myself and the girlfriend so don't have a tribe to take across the country. Not sure if I'm buying or renting yet, but recommended areas to check out or avoid would be appreciated. Thanks again.

 

That is where I live! Nice area, growing a lot. I have been there for 13 years. We moved there because of the schools but sounds like that isn't a concern of yours. Location is good as you can be in Ft Worth or Dallas in 20-25 minutes on a weekend, but the northern suburbs (Frisco etc) are a haul but you can get away without going up there unless you want to go to an FC Dallas game.. Plenty of housing options from old to new, small to big, apartments, townhouses, new lofts in the downtown area. One thing about Dallas/Ft Worth in general is you want to try and minimize your commute distance due to traffic.

Feel free to PM me with any specific questions. I will also PM you my cell and you can txt too.

 

Move to Midlothian or Ovilla, not a bad drive to Mansfield
