I'd also advise you to not commit to an area to live in without a visit. See if you can get a relocation visit to come out and look at a few different areas. Take the drive time you will have on a weekend and factor 2-3 times that for what your commute will be. Check out the places you are likely to go (bar/restaurant areas) and what the people are like. As a generalization, people are "different" in various parts of the metroplex and there are some stereotypes that hold true even from neighborhood to neighborhood.
