Curbed: Dallas among best places to live in 2020

​​​​NEW YORK – Dallas has ranked fourth on Curbed’s list of the top ten best places to move to in 2020.

The report commended Big D’s lower cost of living, which has enticed corporations to move there, especially into suburbs like Arlington and Garland.

Although Dallas has been known for its sprawling growth, the article pointed out the city’s focus on adding density. 

"But the move toward more walkable urban development is helping make the case that Dallas can increasingly offer desirable downtown living in neighborhoods such as Uptown and the Design District at a price that would make Californians or New Yorkers sigh," said Curbed writers. 

The real estate blog ​highlighted Deep Ellum, M-Streets, and Vickery as hot Dallas neighborhoods. Allen was recommended as a desirable suburb in which to live.

Other cities included in the rankings are:

• No. 1 Arlington, Va.;

• No. 2 Boise, Idaho​​;

• No. 3 Charlotte, N.C.;

• No. 5 Denver;

• No. 6 Madison, Wis.;

• No. 7 Minneapolis, Minn.;

• No. 8 Provo, Utah;

• No. 9 Raleigh, N.C.; and 

• No. 10 ​St. Louis.
