Question by Jeremy M: What area of the Dallas to move the parents to? Has anyone else faced this? Condo in oaklawn the best route?
The are in 54/53 and retiring at the end of the year. Still very active and in that major life change of going from work to finding sometime to fill retirement. My sister and I have decided that Dallas would be the best place as we are both relocating to the area. What have been the experiences of others facing moving your parents to town? They like Frisco but we think that is just to far from “town”.
The sister and I feel a full service hi rise condo building will be the best route for them. They are very anti condo! I think after trying it they will like it. Just looking for some feedback.

I would agree that Frisco is too far from civilization. With traffic it can take a long time to go to Dallas if they want to see a play or go to a museum.
The high rise condos in Oak Lawn are very nice and in a great location if they like to go to museums, plays, the symphony, etc. If your parent’s are social people they might find that they will never know their neighbors names. I had friends that lived in one of the buildings off of Turtle Creek Blvd. and whenever I went to visit it was very quiet, which I liked. If your parent’s still want a house I would suggest you look at the neighborhood around Walnut Hill, Inwood and Midway. The homes are a good size, have large trees, big yards and you aren’t 3 feet way from your neighbors house like in Frisco or the other new housing developments north of Dallas.
