Nice dogs. I'm not into the GSHP much, but like the Rhodesian's. I don't think many, if any, apartment complexes will allow either, though.

You can get a nice house and pay a yard man for that amount.

That isn't too bad, Andy. Finding rent houses is just kind of a pain. Anyone have any references off the top of their heads? Hoi-- yeah, rent there was incredibly high. Granted, we had a very nice appt complex, but you get what you pay for. I wanted security, safety, and all that goodness. This complex was sorta private, and you had to go through background checks, etc. to get into them. I could have payed 1500 for the same thing with less security if I wanted to.

Area's that I would consider definite rat holes from Randal Mill and Fielder to Randal Mill and Cowboy Stadium back south to the college. Daughter & ex-SIL lived in that area while he was going to school and I didn't feel safe after dark in there.

Deep south Arlington, Grand Prairie, and Mansfield are pretty nice especially south of I-20 get you a good realtor to work with and talk to the beat cops in the areas you are looking at they pretty much know where it's less than safe. There are some nice areas of Arlington up on the far north side around Ditto golf course and North Grand Prairie North of I-30 and NW 19th. At rush hour you are pretty well skewers going N to S anywhere in Arlington though.

Good to have you in the area we welcome refugees from the other parts of the country with open arms.
