D.G.
Ft. Worth over Dallas any old day!!! Ft. Worth is just a bit more "homey" than anything in Dallas- more laid back, less urban/ metropolitan- it just depends on you, if that is a plus or a minus. As a Ft. Worth girl, I love the shirts that say, "If I die in Dallas, drag my cold, dead body back to Ft. Worth! ;))
There are some great communities around here. North Ft. Worth/ Alliance corridor, North Richland Hills, Colleyville, Hurst, etc. If you have special needs kiddos at all, I reccommend you steer clear of Keller ISD, but the city is nice.
Just depends on what you're looking for.
