About Collin County

  • Click to Search Homes in Collin County

The city of Dallas started small, but with the discovery of the East Texas Oil Field in 1930, the city started its meteoric rise to the cosmopolitan metro area it is today. First, Dallas took on the role of the drilling industry’s base of operations in Texas. Second, in 1965, Dallas and Fort Worth built the DFW International Airport. When that facility opened in 1973, Dallas became an easily accessible destination. Finally, an effort was undertaken to rejuvenate downtown Dallas as a center for business, culture and entertainment.

One of the ten largest cities in the United States, Dallas is host to the largest wholesale merchandise mart in the world and is a major financial center. Additionally, Dallas has six professional sports teams, wealth and cultural attractions and excellent shopping.

Many corporations are headquartered here due to the city’s central location for traveling from DFW airport, and the cost of housing and living which Dallas area employers can offer employees. Today, Dallas is a melting pot of different cultures and lifestyles. Its vibrant downtown area is a draw for visitors and residents alike. The DFW metropolitan area is experiencing steady growth, with a population of 7,233,323.

The Dallas area enjoys a moderate climate. There are approximately 234 sunny days per year, the average July high is 98 degrees, and the average January low is 35 degrees.

Things to Do
There are too many events and activities in Dallas to name them all. The city itself has a very active Parks department that manages 47 recreation centers, golf courses, 22 community pools, and facilities for tennis, baseball, basketball and football.

Dallas boasts more than 6,000 restaurants, according to the Texas Restaurant Association. The Dallas Farmers Market is the largest in the United States, hosting more than 1 million visitors each year. The city hosts the Cotton Bowl, the State Fair of Texas and the Byron Nelson Golf Classic.

The city’s cultural opportunities include the Dallas Museum of Nature and Science, the Dallas Arboretum, Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas Opera, and the Meyerson Symphony Center to name a few.

Dallas has also become known as a world-class shopping destination. You’ll find every type of shopping experience, from upscale boutiques and malls to vintage shops.

Schools
The Dallas Independent School District manages the schools in the city such as the Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in downtown Dallas which is one of the highest ranked schools in the nation. Additionally, the DISD has International Baccalaureate school programs. There are many private schools in Dallas and the surrounding areas. Preparatory, Christian, Catholic, and special needs schools are some of the schools available to residents of Dallas. Higher education is provided by 17 colleges and universities in the area. The most well-known are Southern Methodist University and the University of Texas at Dallas.
