Bhayya,

nenu curently in Seattle area. Problem enti ante, Seattle area lo housing prices are around 750k(commute will be around 45 min to bellevue and 1 hr to Seattle ONE WAY in car. Bus around 1:15 min) from suburb. Currently in apartment paying around 2300$ in rent without utilities etc. ee apartment aithe easy to commute. Still 40min to Seattle but bus facility is awesome.

If I buy a home in this area rest of my life will be working for bank in repaying loan. 

Worried about kids. maku kids eppudu apartment lo ne unnamu ane childhood ivva kudadu anukuntunnamu. oka vela dhairyam chesi illu konte prati nela pay check to paycheck undali then going to India will also be a burden accounting school fee, kids minor activities and some small outings.

maa company Irving lo kuda undi. Internal transfer pettukovachu wihtout any pay hit. Seattle salary tho Dallas lo undavachu anedi naa rough estimate. Is it a good idea to move Irving, so that spend littile time in traffic and littile bit better things for kids and spend more time.

koncham mee experiences share cheyyandi. Cost of living, kids education, commute etc in Dallas area. Is it worth considering to move Irving?

My thoughts.... I am also in kind of similar boat.. still not decided (living in los angeles for past 7 years)

Pros: 

cost of living, home prices, desi crowd (for some this is pro, some it is bad), airport connectivity ( I read any medium size city in country has direct flight from DFW) 

Cons: 

High property taxes, weather not the best, dry/flat land(not much activities, other than what you do in hyd)

No State tax. If wife and husband work and have average pricing home , then it is not a con.

Commute to either Seattle or Bellevue during office hours is at least an hour .. And minimum price for a new home with 2000 sq ft is 750k$ plus..

ade problem bhayya.. 98012 lo around 750k decent home with littile desi population. commute is 45 - 1 hours in car pool. Forget about going in car if working in Seattle. Atleast bellevue you need to pay toll(100$/month) and 200$ parking. Chances of park and ride is very slim as you need to reach and park before 7.
