Hi everyone, I found out yesterday that I’ll be going to Dallas for my psychiatry residency! Super excited to get started, I’m coming from the northeast. Would appreciate any advice about Dallas including neighborhoods, things to do, food, what’s dart and is it reliable?

Thank you!!

    I am planning on driving down my car, I’m just looking for walkable neighborhoods because I enjoy walking around if I have the time in the evenings. I’m also chonky and can use the exercise. I love spicy food, so that’s only a good thing for me haha. I assumed most apartment buildings offered parking for tenants. Is that not something I should assume as a default?

    Also I did consider the politics thing. While it’ll be annoying dealing with the 5, I’m hoping to make friends among the 4 that can turn frustrating encounters into laughs. And I’m hoping it won’t affect me much on a day to day basis, but I guess I’ll find out :)

      Most should have something, but some complexes will handle it better than others. You may not get reserved parking or covered parking without paying extra. I’d say just ask if the listing is not clear. If you start looking at renting a house or a room/garage apartment, things could get weird in those slightly denser neighborhoods.

      Welcome to Texas, doc!
