My family and I are planning on moving to Dallas, Texas from Aurora, Colorado. Any nice suburban areas with good high schools??? (We plan on living in an cheap apartment for at least a year until we can afford a house.) Thanks.

Try NE Tarrant County. Grapevine, Colleyville, Southlake, Keller, Trophy Club are all very nice. The schools in this area are excellent. If you want apartments, you can also look in Bedford, Euless, or Hurst - also excellent towns for schools..

If you're looking for a nice suburban area with a good school system, stay out of Dallas County. The schools are regularly featured on the news for having poor quality.
Frisco, TX is a really nice area with lots of entertainment and the school system is one of the best in the state. I have included links for both the city and the school system below. Plus it's right up the tollway from Downtown Dallas with easy access to everywhere. Enjoy!

I went to high school and live in Mesquite, which is about 30 minutes east of Dallas. There are five high school there, in my opinion all are good, but the two best are Poteet and Horn. You would probably be able to find a good apartment near Poteet too, because there are several apartment complexes right near by.
But don't be disillusioned about Mesqutie. We're often looked down upon because we're not full of mcmansions, but it's a very nice area, really nice houses at a reasonable price, great schools (the elementary school in my neighborhood is a blue ribbon school), and not only that, the teachers in the schools care. So I reccomend it.
Wishing you the best in your move!

depends on how far out of Dallas you want to live, the farther you can drive the better schools and communities get,going north shows the greatest growth , I live about an hour north of metroplex and I don't but I know worlds of people that commute from here and further out
i really dont know any cheap apts that you would want to live in and if you are talking about building most new homes go for $60 to $80 a square foot and up
find a realtor and do some research

You need to move to Frisco. There is no other suburb in the Dallas area with so much to offer than Frisco. This is a link to a apartment complex there, that I do business with. www.cypresslakeatstonebriar.com/ , Below I will list several links to get you familar with Frisco, Texas!

Trophy Club, Texas is about 45 min. from dallas. My aunt lives there and is awsome. Northwest high school is the local highschool and its pretty.

it really depends on your definition of cheap but you may want to look into cedar hill or north dallas. a step up for you would be plano or arlington. there are some nice spots in irving and grand praire as well; it will boil down to your desire and location-convenience you prefer
