Hi Moms, I am new, my son graduates from BC on Dec 11th. However, not my 1st go with the Navy, my oldest graduated BC in December 2004. I live in Port O'Connor on the coast between Corpus and Galveston, we moved here from Dripping Springs, outside of Austin. My husband was channeling Jimmy Buffett a little too much…LOL

Berit, when my son deployed, all three times he had to rent a storage unit. Your son is correct.

My son is getting ready for his first tour, but was telling me the navy does not have a place for him to store his belongings while out at sea?  This does not seem right to me.  Please advise

Your son made a wise choice. He will enjoy The Village. It is a great location. Best wishes to him!

Update:  my son found a nice, corner apartment (with its own garage) at The Village!  He'd been there a couple of times already touring other spaces, but yesterday, he went back again while on his way to the Arboretum area as Harpist suggested--and saw this larger unit that had just become available! After all his searching around all the different communities & neighborhoods, it's all working out. Thank you kind Texas ladies for all your advice & hints the last couple of weeks -- Wishing all your dear Sailors Safe Travels & Bountiful Blessings - Navy ON! ♥

Hi Storymom, Where is his office located? Traffic can be horrible in the Dallas area so I recommend that he finds an apartment close to his office, if possible. The younger people live in Uptown and the Village. Addison is a good place to look also, lots of restaurants and places to shop. Unless your son works near the areas you mentioned, Irving, Farrmers Branch, Coppell, or Carrollton, i not recommend them for him. They are suburbs on the west side of town. The Colony is a suburb on the northwest side of Dallas, and the traffic is very congested during rush hour on I35, the main route from there to Dallas. Mostly families live in those areas. It sounds like he is looking in the right places. There is a good biking/jogging trail around White Rock Lake, which is northeast of Uptown.  It is very pretty there, near the Dallas Arboretum. The Katy Trail, in Uptown, where a lot of younger people jog, is a popular place. TCU is in Fort Worth.which some ladies have mentioned. SMU is in Dallas: The Village is near it. There are new apartments around Lovers Lane and Greenville Avenue, which is in the sane area as the Village. I hope he enjoys life in Big D!

Hello again Ladies! Remember me? My Navy son finally landed in Dallas, and he's been looking for apartments around Uptown, The Village, Oak lawn & Addison. He's not generally the bar-scene/nightclub kind of guy, he likes fresh air, working out, fitness clubs, running, hiking, concerts, swimming-active stuff. Also, his squadron is not at Fort Worth, his "office" is actually in Dallas. Where else would you suggest near Dallas for a single guy? Some of you mentioned the university or college areas, is that Dallas or Fortworth? What is The colony? I also see: Coppell Carrollton, farmers Branch & Irving on the map. Also...He really enjoyed your Aquarium and Museum of Science & Nature too! Thank you for any tips you could offer!
