Why people are moving to Dallas–Fort Worth
No state income tax
Texas has no personal state income tax, so more of each paycheck stays with you. Property taxes do more of the work, and we explain how.
A major job hub
Corporate headquarters, finance, tech, healthcare and logistics, many along the Legacy, Frisco and Las Colinas corridors.
Two major airports
DFW International and Dallas Love Field put most of the country within a few hours' flight.
Big-league everything
The Cowboys, Rangers, Mavericks, Stars and FC Dallas, plus concerts and events nearly every weekend.
Food & small-town squares
Tex-Mex, barbecue and everything else, plus historic downtowns in McKinney, Plano and Carrollton.
Room to grow
New communities, established neighborhoods and acreage, with more home for the money than many big metros.
