When I think of how Dallas’ checks all the boxes on the Millennial driven must-have list, the options become endless. Most of my friends happen to be in the millennial generation like me and their needs are my needs when it comes time to #SayYesToDallas.
One of the more important requirements is responsible home hunting. Affordable cost of living and variety of neighborhood communities, each with its own personality, sets Dallas apart from other major cities in the country. I often find myself commenting on just how many new housing developments and buildings are being erected around Dallas’ expansive reach. Although the millennial audience may be put into a box of only wanting to live in the newest, coolest areas, I find that millennials are also one of the most fiscally aware groups when it comes to residential. For instance, I live in in Oak Cliff. It’s one of Dallas’ oldest neighborhoods, but also one of our most vibrant. Walkability factor is huge when picking a living situation. Millennial folks like me want to be able to walk to the action quick from home and Oak Cliff checked every box for me. For this exact reason according to Mayflower, Dallas was the No. 1 U.S. city where millennials moved in 2015.
That statistic is also closely tied into my second must-have, which is a strong job option. Employment and the drive to succeed in a competitive new city is something that resonates strongly with why I love Dallas so much. Every new seminar or conversation around job growth in Dallas brings inspiration for me as a Dallasite. Speaking from personal experience as a creative in Dallas, my job flourishes due to the amount of opportunity in Dallas. Every day I have the opportunity to meet with small business owners to grown their online reputation and even gain experience getting to know larger business executives. This is vital to my brand and career and since Dallas is a hub and major market, professionals see great success in many industries. Did you know that DFW International Airport is the highest-capacity commercial airport in the world? That means that when you’re living in Dallas, you are constantly connecting the area to the entire planet. That alone is major for professional development! In fact, Forbes, citing the city’s impressive population growth and job growth, Dallas was recently ranked #1 for jobs. Whether you’re an artist gaining inspiration from our amazing Arts District or Deep Ellum or a engineer looking to find your next big move in the rapidly growing job sector.
Part of the fun of moving to a new city and getting to #SayYesToDallas is getting a fresh start at the job and residential markets. Exploring the great options in Dallas never gets old and I am proud to live in a millennial friendly city in both of those areas.
