Hey guys, I just graduated from UT and it looks like I'm goin to be moving to Irving. Does anyone know any good places to live, preferably in Irvine and not too expensive. Thanks and hope to see everyone out at the meets.

 

Welcome..... My work also just relocated to Irving... So, I am also looking for some ideas about where to stay/eat and such...

 

If you both are moving to the area area I highly suggest the Las Colinas/Valley Ranch areas. I've lived here the last 5 years and absolutely love it. Everything is convenient. Within 2 square miles you have fast food/retail/supermarkets/etc...It's a great area, give it a look around when finding a place to live. You'll like it.

 

Yea I had a friend mention the Las Colinas area. Does anyone know of apartments or condos out there? tia

 

Grapevine is a nice town Bedford, Euless,Collyville.
All of these towns are in Tarrent county, cheaper than Dallas county for auto and home insurance and about 10 miles from Irving.

 

yay for another longhorn. i dont graduate for another 2-3 years but congrats!

 

Hey guys, I used to live in Irving as well and loved it...can't wait to move back..you are pretty much smack in the middle of Dallas/Ft Worth so a drive to either place wont' kill you.

I'd recommend looking around 114/635 areas. Also, they are building new apts. off of Luna/635 and also there some more new apts called Mission at la Villita (Royal/Luna). www.riverstoneres.com

Hope everyone can make it out to a meet. Our group has dwindled and we need to get it back up to speed. We blamed the cold weather..so let's not blame the hot weather...it's TX...

 

dude, I am moving this weekend. a couple months ago I looked at 13 aprtments in the area in 2 days!!!!! There are soo many to name out here. But the best experience I had was at "The Lexington at Valley Ranch". I'm moving to a complex named "Dakote Hill" mainly because its right off the freeway and off and on access is great. If you want the more loft/urban lifestyle you can check out "Cabochon at Las Colinas" or "Tuscan Villas" Or even the ones off of Luna and 635, but they are pricey. They are called "Lincoln" something...I can't remember the full name. I'm not into lofts so i like the apt setting. But give those places a try and see if it fits you.

 

Make sure you check the cost of insuring your car before you move to Las Colinas since it's in the Irving zip code and their insurance rates are much higher. I have a friend, who drives a 2004 Z, moved from Frisco to Las Colinas and his car insurance nearly doubled just because of the change in zip code.

 

hey guys thanks for all the replies, I'm moving out there on wednesday. I've been callin around today and havent found anything, any more suggestions? thanks.

 

Strange, my insurance never changed even from moving from irving to denton to dallas back to irving again? In fact my insurance went down $20/month last month! C'mon age 25....10 more months to go........

 

Well I moved from Irving (dallas county) to S. Arlington (tarrant) and I got like almost a $200 refund on my premiums.

 

So i'm up in a hotel now in irving/las colinas area off macarthur. does anyone know any apts in this area that has immediate availability. hopefully by this weekend i'll have a place to live and can meet some fellow gdrivers in the following weeks.

 

Try checking in Tustin. It's right up the street and it's definately cheaper than Irvine.

 

i will definitely have to look into this! i'm always for saving money!
