I live in Downtown Dallas (close to Uptown, right by Love Field) but do the drive to Fort Worth every day. I prefer the drive versus actually living in the Fort Worth area. It is worth it since living in Dallas is just a different experience.
For someone your age, unless you have an aversion to a commute I would encourage you look in the areas of Dallas mentioned above. If you have a better idea on where in FW you will be working, some of us should be able to give you commuting times. I can tell you, driving to FW in the morning is against traffic 95% of the way, as is driving home to Dallas at night
