Richardson is a fantastic city and a wonderful place to grow up in. It had a multitude of activites including fine dining, hiking trails and swimming pools. Richardson's greatest strength is that if it does not have an activity you are looking for, it is certanly nearby one. Other fantastic cites like Plano, Wylie, Allen, and of course, Dallas, are practically a stones throw away. (Or a tank of gas away). Richardson is a beautiful city and there is nowhere I would rather live.

Richardson is a very nice city to live in, especially for me who goes to Richardson High School which is just a 10 min walk away from my house. The neighborhood is beautiful and I rarely hear of anything bad happening here. Cottonwood park and the market square have so many different kinds of shops, locally owned and corporate, and it allows for a farmer's market to be held every Saturday morning where people can come together and sell their personal goods. I haven't even mentioned downtown where it's not as crowded as big city downtowns like Dallas and there are even more local storefronts with amazing service. Richardson is an amazing place to stay, I can guarantee it.
