WHY DFW?

Offering both big-city excitement and quiet, suburban living, the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area offers an interesting mix of Texas
pride and cosmopolitan offerings. The cowboy life still exists in Fort Worth, while Dallasites love the trendy local bars and
numerous retail shops. And no matter which part of the metroplex they call home, sports fans rally together behind their
professional sports teams.
Those who live in Dallas and Fort Worth tend to be young professionals, while the surrounding suburbs are largely filled with
young families who want both a close-knit community and easy access to the cities. People from both demographics are
flooding the area, and the population has swelled from about 5.8 million people in 2005 to more than 7.5 million people today.
New developments have drawn in both families looking for their dream home and millennials looking to launch their careers.
