Which areas of "Greater Dallas" should I avoid at ALL costs?

Moving there at the end of the month and have a home finding trip this week to look at some places.
We've been told to avoid South Dallas, but that seems a bit too general.
The houses (5) we'll be looking at this week are all in Plano, Garland and Mesquite.
Looking for a 20-35 minutes morning (~6:30AM) commute to the office, which is 5 miles North of downtown.
Not too concerned about schools, mainly safety.
So basically which cities of the metroplex should be avoided

Try Southlake or maybe HP/UP. Stay away from Ennis and Addison

Why Plano?
two of the houses that we'll be looking at are there.
We haven't had any filters other than "not south dallas" and "30 min drive."
That's why I came here for more pointers

Let’s start with where is work?
Posted on 4/9/18 at 8:22 pm to castorinho
Prosper is probably what you’ll like if you like T Town burbs

I'd stay away from Mesquite. If you don't mind me asking, what prove range are you looking in? There's some really nice areas in Garland and there are some places that you don't want to go near. Part of it is all Asian and English isn't spoken in that part of town, and some of it is ghetto dangerous. Where exactly are you working? 10 miles one way can be 15 minutes and 10 miles the other way could be 45.
Generally, I'd look in Richardson, Plano, Garland (again depending on budget) or maybe somewhere like Farmers Branch. The thing is there's really nice areas in every "city" so you really just have to know exactly where you are looking and all the cities kind of run together.

Plano is not bad just the Toyota plant. I think you should look in Prosper Southlake and HP/UP

Dallas is a shithole. They can't figure out how to complete interstate construction at all. It's a mess.

I don't know this guy, but if he's moving to Dallas unless he's coming from another big metro, he probably can't afford UP/HP, and I'm not sure why you think there's nothing in Plano, there's tons of shite there. It may not be things you like, but it's still there.

What color are ya?

I’m trying to compare it to where I know he’s around. Prosper is probably the best area to compare. I just don’t like Plano. Or Denton
Trophy Club would be another good choice.
