I’m also a Rockwallian. I don’t have to go all the way to DFW since DAL is my domicile, but the George Bush or 635 express make it a bearable drive when I do have to make a DFW trip. It seems it’s one of the last places in the metroplex to buy a decent house on some acreage in an awesome school district for under 7 figures. Good luck with your search!

Ah, Base Housing-North. Throw a rock and hit an AA Captain.

If you miss the AA Captain it surely will land near a 37 yr Delta FA that never left when the based closed. I’m a B6 guy. We’re like susquach in DFW. People have heard of us, but sightings are rare...

Truth be told I applied to AA 5 yrs ago but had 125hrs in the last 18 months. I was doing time as an instructor at FlightSafety DFW so despite my 9000 hrs I was deemed “not current.” Gee, you think my 2600 hrs of Airbus time in the last 4 years would be competitive? Not leaving Texas...

What's funny is that I read this post before seeing who wrote it and instantly knew that it was you.

Hello fellow metroplex'ers


OP will not check the "45 minute commute or less" box if he lives beyond FM, Grapevine, Coppell, Colleyville, Southlake.



Colleyville and Southlake are basically 500K starter homes.



I cannot fathom a 730 AM drive inbound to DFW from Aledo or Rockwall, I would cut my wrists in traffic.



my opinion

Heard numerous times:


DFW Tower, American 123 is coming across Flower Mound High School, runway in sight

I'm in North Fort Worth (or Faux-Keller as some have called it on here) and my drive is rarely over 45 minutes to the North Lot even in the worst rush hour traffic. 25-30 minutes is typical, but I try to fly the early morning stuff and get done before 3 pm.

Ha! I had no idea it was like that.

FWIW - if you are gonna drive, you might as well get what and where you want....

Wife and I pulled the trigger recently on a sprawling house out on Possum Kingdom lake. if I'm only making that drive 8 times a month, I can live with that and smile. Graham is 15 minutes north - small town feel for sure, with an even smaller town of Graford 10 minutes away.

** There is nothing like deer/turkey and other wildlife all over your property when you wake....lake front views...TONS of very nice places and lots and houses out here.

I'm an right at 1+45 to the airport....to each their own....as I'm not DFW based.

You know you're old when you can remember taking a type ride at Amon Carter.
