I lived in various places around DFW from 1991-2001. Most of the time was spent north of the airport in the Lewisville (Go Farmers!) and Coppell areas and liked that best of all. You're close to everything without living in a "big city." Other places are nice, Plano for example, but it's a long haul from there to some places in the Metroplex. I liked living in Texas and would go back again.
