Potential job at DFW airport, best area to live for family?
I am interviewing for a job at DFW airport and I don't currently live in Texas. Where would be the best neighborhoods to consider to move for a family with a teenager in high school? Is Arlington a good choice? I'd like to have a 30-minute or shorter commute to work. I'll be buying a house, and can spend up to $800K. But given the high property tax in Texas, I'd like to keep it around $600K-$700K for a house that is 3,500 sq. ft or less, with 3 bedrooms, at least 2-1/2 baths. Thanks in advance!

Grapevine is another option. A friend of mine used to live there and they have good schools and it's close to DFW.
One thing to consider is a place that is close to the Orange line to DFW, or the light rail that goes to Fort Worth, if you can find a community close by the station, or otherwise station that you can easily drive to.
