Daughter and SIL's Company is transferring them there in April for a couple of years.
Any Texas Boys familiar with the Area? Sure would like to hear some opinions of the Area. Thanks

I used to live near there. It's a fairly nice upscale suburb of Dallas. Maybe not as nice as Plano, but fairly nice. It might have a few problem spots, but in general it's a good community, if you like big cities. Traffic will be ugly, much of the time

She'll be fine in Richardson. As was mentioned, traffic blows. Other than that, not much to worry about.

Depends on what part they will live in but most of Richardson is great. It just blends in with North Dallas, Plano and Frisco. Lot's of great shopping and restaurants. They will be fine and learn the lay of the land quickly. What are their ages? Young, Middle or old? I might be able to be more specific where to go.
I'm just up the road in Frisco, have several accounts I call on in Richardson.

I'm just up the road in Frisco, have several accounts I call on in Richardson. They are in their mid Twenties. I know that the Shopping will get her attention! My SIL is in a mentoring Program with a large Insurance company, and this will be their last tour of duty, so to speak, before they can put in for a permanent location. Just finishing up two years in Hartford Ct., and I am happy with this move. A "free" State so to speak!

BY the way, Richardson (and Plano) were supposed to have excellent schools, when I was living there, FWIW

Richardson is a decent area. Shouldn't have any serious issues there. Garland is getting a little sketchy. Rowlett can be sketchy, too. Rockwall is close, and is nice. Trying to get in and out of Dallas down Central Expwy. will be a real chore.
