I’m a Rockwall guy..about 50 minutes non traffic, 1:25 with. Three routes to get to the airport if one is blocked. Personally, I enjoy leaving the airport area on days off and being no where near it until sign in the next trip. There is a lake out here, a few parks for kids, dog parks, multiple churches and plenty of food options. Housing and taxes are still within reason. Most can find a 2500 sq/ft <5 year old home for the high 200’s. Schools are rated in the 7-9’s range also. Good luck!
