Baller LoopSki Posted December 10, 2020 Baller Share Posted December 10, 2020 Looks like Im going to get a chance to check out Dallas and see if I really want to get out of California. I need to go out for a short term by January 15. Anyone have a room for rent, house for rent or maybe for sale ? Otherwise since short notice, any recommendations where to find housing? Since it’s such short notice and I have to find something rather quickly I don’t want to end up living in the ghetto! Lol I’ve never been to Dallas so I don’t know the area at all or much time to get to know it. Like to be close to the airport.Maybe any ski club recommendations as well although I’m not sure if I really need it yet as I’m probably coming back home quite a bit.

Baller unksskis Posted December 10, 2020 Baller Share Posted December 10, 2020 Where will you be working? Dallas is big, adding Ft Worth in makes it bigger. There's 2 airports, basically do you want to fly SWA or anything else. Message with your further questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller LoopSki Posted January 10, 2021 Author Baller Share Posted January 10, 2021 Ill be staying in Plano for two weeks. Decided not to drive , having car shipped out. Flights are so inexpensive that its cheaper to leave car out there and fly back n forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ lpskier Posted January 11, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted January 11, 2021 I think Princeton Lakes is pretty close to Plano. That’s the neighborhood where you want to live and ski. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller dbutcher Posted January 12, 2021 Baller Share Posted January 12, 2021 Occasionally there is a home for sale at Princeton Lakes. There are two fine ones right now that I know of. Princeton Lakes are close to Plano but an hour or more from DFW airport depending on traffic. Princeton Lakes are 40 minutes from Plano, but probably less than 20 miles.

Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted January 14, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted January 14, 2021 @LoopSki what is your line of work / or reason for the move? The DFW area encompasses a pretty large area. There are several ski lakes south of Dallas If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LoopSki Posted January 14, 2021 Author Baller Share Posted January 14, 2021 Ill be in DFW on a temporary basis on outside sales mission. If i like Texas it could turn into a permanent move. Right now just looking for a place to rent while looking at potential places to move permanently. Not really interested in clubs right now as I will fly home often. Also will only consider lake front living to buy. No exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Kelvin Posted January 14, 2021 Baller Share Posted January 14, 2021 @Loopski, are you set on the DFW area?

Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted January 16, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted January 16, 2021 Lone Star?! The Pabst Blue Ribbon of Texas. Yeah, its symbolic, but if you want to stay in Texas and make friends, you'll need to step up your taste in beverages:) If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller 75Tique Posted February 12, 2021 Baller Share Posted February 12, 2021 Wow nice place. Was not familiar with that neighborhood. Yeah, $700,000 is a lot of dough for us mere mortals, and out of my league, but for that house, lot, water front situation, thats a pretty good deal. Tho, as an avid swimmer, I might opt for the one across the street with the 3-lane, 25 yd pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
