+1. I'm 29. I moved to Dallas from NYC in May and absolutely love it (when I'm there! I travel more now).

Wouldn't trade it back for anything.

Our apartment (in the suburbs!) is great, driving everywhere is great, trees on trees on trees are great, the food is great and we manage to find something to do every weekend. Ironically enough, everything I need is about 5-10 minutes away from my apartment now. Walmart is 2 minutes away. TWO MINUTES!

This was not the case at all when I was in NYC.

I'm the opposite; went from Dallas to NYC, and I dread the idea of going back to afford a house.

Everyone's different! I also grew up in NYC so I can see how living there might be attractive. I always recommend to folks that haven't to give it a try. It wasn't for me, but it might be for themB
