Texas and Virginia bros, need your help

[Henny and_ HotWings]

I been to both Texas and Virginia and I saw enough to know that there were a couple areas I wouldn’t mind living in both, but my knowledge is still limited a bit considering….

What are some areas you think would be worth heading too, that are peaceful, not much fukk shyt, decent housing market, good neighborhoods that aren’t too too far from a popping area with alright night life…

I been to Dallas, TX and was feeling it

Arlington and Alexandria VA are areas I dig on too

Just to put into context, I’m 37, been single for a year or so now, no kids, 2 dogs, in medical case management and freelance writing but I’m studying now to head into tech and I’m a fit nikka


Put me on fellas

I'm going to tag some Texas and DMV posters to try to help OP maybe they might have something to add.

I hear San Antonio is pretty good had a coworker on my old job relo to San Antonio Texas for a tech gig.

What does heading into "tech" mean?

Its a big industry and half the people in it ain't technical.

 

[tuckgod]

Definitely Dallas.

Cheaper, better food, nicer people, slightly better traffic, more bang for your buck on land.

And I’m defintely gonna look into San Antonio. I heard decent things about it but nothing in particular per se

My man, appreciate you G

Welcome.

DMV in general is good for govtech. Also have a lot of data centers from large tech companies like Google and Amazon. But someone else will be able to give more details. @JT-Money you got any advice for OP?

Yeah lived in Jersey for a bit but I been in Maryland most of my life…. Baltimore, PG and even DC… so I always fukked with Northern VA as far as buying a house in a nice area, being in a peaceful place that isn’t FAR from the action, has nice quality of women etc

I need to visit San Antonio and do some research of their tech market…

And yeah a lot of IT guys barely talk lol

I would also say look on job hiring sites and see what they are paying for the roles you're interested in working as well as how many views and people have applied to those positions. I know some places are more competitive than others for pay and positions. I've seen a couple Devs and coders be disgruntled with the current job market but overall I think you'll be able to land something nice depending on the area you end up liking the most.

That ship done sailed.

 

[lowkey0z]

for VA, i would say northern VA is a safe bet, the closer to DC, the better (alexandria, springfield, lorton, falls church, tysons/mclean, fairfax, vienna, fair oaks)

i loved my time in richmond a true college town, even when school's out, there's still a good nightlife if you've got good networking skills - - shockoe bottom, the fan, museum disctrict, midlothian, church hill, willow lawn)

Lmaooo appreciate the encouragement….

I stay in South Grand Prairie. Perfect distance between Dallas and Fort Worth. They building a bunch of stuff off the (relatively) new 161 tollway near I-20. About 15 min from Jerry World/Globe Life, good mix of food spots.

Used to live in Katy (western Houston suburb). South of I-10 is what you want in that area. Mo City was cool back in the 90s/early 00s when I stayed there, but I prefer Katy to it at your age.

Grew up in San Antonio so don't have as much intel there. Even though I got family there, it's too slow for me compared to Houston/Dallas (still Spurs gang all day though ). Austin is insane price-wise, so don't even consider it.
