The Texas sports scene is also huge, with teams like the Dallas Cowboys (NFL), the Texas Rangers (MLB), the Dallas Stars (NHL), and the Dallas Mavericks (NBA) ensuring there’s always a game to spectate year-round.
Kaufman County Homes Provide More Bang for Your Buck
Due to the high demand for city housing, the price of buying or renting a house is significantly higher than the cost of the same in suburban towns. Thanks to Texas’s lack of a state income tax and Kaufman County’s premier location, homebuyers have significantly more square footage and privacy, allowing families to feel secure and comfortable in their homes. Wildcat Ranch, for example, is a brand-new community within Kaufman County, with single-family homes beginning from the high $200’s. The low cost of living and inexpensive homes appeal to many families and working professionals.
A Robust Job Market Within Easy Reach
With a diverse economy and a well-educated stream of new talent, Dallas-Fort Worth has been a leader in attracting both workers and companies from more costly regions. Many national and international-based companies have moved their headquarters to the city, including American and Southwest Airlines, Texas Instruments, and telecommunications giant AT&T. As more companies choose to move their headquarters, it also moves a wealth of industry-specific and supporting jobs with it, paving the way for young professionals to easily start their careers. The Dallas-Fort Worth job market grew by 6.5 percent over the past 12 months, almost double the U.S. job growth rate of 3.4 percent.
