I only have a phone interview at this point, and was doing prelim research on the area if it would be somewhere I'd think I'd want to live. I'm not sure where the office is, but the office I'm interviewing with is on Riata Trace Parkway. A short commute is essential... I hate traffic.

Housing seems affordable compared to where I am now, so that is a plus. Can you buy a lot for less then $200,000 say closer to $125k-$175k?

Are there any parts of town I should avoid at all costs?

I am looking for a younger part of town, where I can meet other single, workaholics.
