One of the city’s finest apartment complexes and an excellent representative of the luxury apartment offerings throughout the city is Rienzi at Turtle Creek. This apartment complex is absolutely unbelievable. Inspired by villas in the Mediterranean, the apartments are spacious and sumptuously appointed.

The Post apartments are another fixture within the city. You’ll find that they are spacious and combine the best of Texas with amazing culture.

I live in Houston.. we do have public transportation,apartments range from 600.00- 2000.00 a month.. traffic is horrible in both Houston + Dallas.. If you want to work there is plenty of work in both cities…. we have grand schools are teachers are some the highest paid in the country…we have a very diverse community and cultures… as all cities we have crime,drug abuse,con men.. you just have to be smart about people and when and where you go…. we have beautiful parks,wildlife,ocean….. where ever you move there are pros and cons…. come see us…..look on the Net for job listing in Houston/Dallas….Good luck…..
If you're a US citizen, you need to get a SS# first of all. I work for a company that owns and manages many apartment communities in about 10 states. Most likely they will check your credit history and maybe even criminal background. They may not offer a 3-month lease either. Our minimum lease is 6 months and then you may go to month-to-month. There are also stiff penalties if you want to break a lease. Good luck…there is ton of information on apartments on the internet.
Crime free? Around Houston? Good luck! Dallas has some bad areas, but not nearly as bad as Houston. Better schools, better jobs, better sports teams, you don't have to worry about hurricanes, and I live in the area. So it's just better.
Laws generally only say what is prohibited. Your best bet would be to email city hall or someone and ask for clarification. Then you can print out the email to use as written proof.
Sounds to me like the owner really doesn't want snakes there, and is trying to make things difficult. I'm guessing the email should work though.
Dallas people are friendly and diverse. The weather is nice except for July, August and early September when it's too hot. During these months, temperatures stay in the 100's most of the time and there's very little rain. The winter is nice with very few snow or ice days.
Apartment prices depend on where you live. The towns to the North of Dallas are nicer. Addison has a good urban & entertainment scene. Richardson is halfway between urban and suburban. Both Addison and Richardson are reasonably affordable as far as cost of living.

If you want a pricier urban experience, look in the North Dallas area. Turtle Creek is a neighborhood in Dallas that is also very expensive, but has a nice urban feel.

Best to talk to the rental agent and see what they will offer. Get it in writing since things can happen and you could be held to what someone else later decides. Transfer clauses are for people who are required to move by the employer they worked for when the agreement was signed. There is nothing in law concerning this.
I guess it depends on where you're coming from as to whether you'd think the public transportation is good or not. Dallas does have buses and rail, but it doesn't go into all of the suburbs.
The recession took longer to hit Dallas than most of the rest of the country, but it's hit here now too so jobs won't be as easy to find. It really depends on what you're looking for and if you have experience at any particular thing.
El Centro is about the same as any other community college.
Spring has just about arrived so bring short sleeves but bring a sweater or jacket — you never know at this time of year.
Depending on what kind of jobs you do, I'd suggest Fort Worth or Longview first. Dallas will be more expensive. There are plenty of communities in and around Dallas-Fort Worth too so consider them. There's a link attached that might help.
