Addison is the best area for younger professionals without families to live and work in Dallas. The area has maybe the largest concentration of bars besides downtown. There’s tons of shopping with several nearby malls and shopping centers. There are parks and tons of entertainment.
There is plenty to do around here! However it is a hot restaurant/bar spot, so it's definitely better suited for the college crowd or people who aren't looking to start a family just yet. The police are great at their jobs though and do a really good job about keeping everyone safe.
I loved living in Addison, a suburb of Dallas. It is very close to Downtown which makes you feel being very connected to the metropolitan region. On the other hand the structure of Addison is more like a nice little suburb of a fast paced mega city which offers single family houses, town homes, schools and a variety of parks and outdoor activities as well as shopping possibilities. The work life balance in Addison is great since the commute to the thriving North Dallas district with its top company locations is very short. All in all I think Addison is one of the greatest areas to live in the Dallas Forth Worth area because it combines all needs.
