I've moved around a lot in my adult life but by far Bedford, Texas is our favorite place. We're equidistant to Fort Worth, Dallas, Denton, and Arlington which allows for a huge variety of entertainment. The housing market is a little stressed in the area so we're currently renting an apartment. We'd love to start a family here!
I love Bedford because it has been my saving grace. I lived in Indiana previously, but I had gotten a divorce and needed somewhere to go. Bedford was available and within my price range. The longer I have stayed, I see that it is more than just affordability. The community is kind, the businesses are always busy, and everything that I need is close by. The variety of business is attractive, which makes me want to continue living here. I applaud Bedford!
The people of Bedford are the most welcoming people I have met from all of the different cities that I have lived in throughout my life. I was nervous when I moved here since I was a young Muslim girl who was bullied in my last school district. However, when I went to school in Bedford, the people were more welcoming than I had imagined. My family and I have been comfortably living here for the last 5 years!
