I am moving to Dallas and I will be living in uptown. Do you guys have any personal experiences with specific places you've lived to visited? I've looked online but it's hard to tell much from there. I would much rather hear from actual experiences.

I lived Midtown at Mockingbird Station for a couple years. I really frickin miss that place.

I lived in two locations in Uptown Dallas:

1) Post Katy Trail on Lemmon
2) The AMLI at Knox and Henderson

I loved both experiences. The Post Katy Trail apartments are very nice with cedar hardwood floors, the finest kitchen and bathroom amenities, and a killer swimming pool.

The AMLI at Knox and Henderson is a little older and not as swanky, but you get a better price for more square footage. They have a better gym plus an indoor basketball court, indoor racket ball court and a sauna.The location is different from the McKinney area but I really enjoyed places like Corner Bar, La Duna, Fernando's, Knox Street Pub and of course... Chilli's.

Both have easy access to Katy Trail and Cole Park.

Have fun! You'll Love Uptown Dallas

The Windsor at Turtle Creek

Yes, lived in uptown for years, if you meet the following criteria you will love it, If you don't meet the following criteria suggest looking elsewhere:

- single
- between 20-30 years old
- like going out and want to walk to bars
- ready to pay high rent prices

Had a great time in uptown for years, was like a natural continuation of college with a lot of people in the same boat. (Single, young professionals, making money, still looking to party hard).

After you grow out of that a bit people look at moving to the M-streets, Lakewood, Lake Highlands, or Whiterock Lake)

If you are moving for a software company be very careful...

Several notorious burn and turn operations located in uptown.

Oak lawn is great and everyone there is very friendly

How is Richardson perceived?

I have family there and visit once every few years so my view is limited, but I am curious as to how other Dallas folk look at Richardson in comparison to other areas.

I didn't care for living in Uptown and moved over to off of Lower Greenville in the M streets. If you can get a house to rent or one of the newer town homes being built near the park I'd try for that. You have everything you need in walking distance there.

Knox/Henderson has apartments and town homes that are fairly nice and aren't too expensive on both sides of 75.

There have also been a ton of apartments and town homes built near Deep Ellum in the last few years that might be worth looking into. I work down in that area and its really cleaned up the last several years. The Farmers Marker is right nearby and there are quite a few places there to live as well.

I have a friend that lives downtown in one of the old department stores that has been converted to an apartment building and thats also a pretty cool area to live in. Downtown has gradually been picking up even though its still kind of dead.

Lakeside Country Club area... Jerry Hall lived and grew up there (one of Jagger's wives)... nice bar called Schooner's there too.
