Richardson, Texas

Richardson, Texas Details

In addition to a healthy business presence, this Dallas suburb is served by two separate public school districts both of which boast many Blue-Ribbon Schools. Five private schools, grades K-12, lie within the city’s boundaries as well as four charter schools. However, most notable within the education system is the 445-acre campus of the University of Texas at Dallas. Not only is this public research university housed on Richardson soil, but also Richland college, the largest school in the Dallas County Community College District, serves Dallas county and the surrounding areas from the confines of this suburb.

Throughout the city, lush greenery, creeks, and ponds fringe miles of walking and bike trails allowing for plenty of outdoor activities. In addition, several city parks are equipped with multiple sports fields for soccer, baseball and softball as well as playgrounds for the kids. This Texas suburb contains a handful of family amusement centers, movie theaters, an innovative bowling alley, as well as an aquatic center for hours of family fun. In addition, the CityLine development with 186 acres of shopping, cafes, and well-manicured parks for strolling gives a great place for date night. The Eisemann Center for the Performing Arts is a perfect venue for a night out at the theater. In the number one spot of things to do is the Public Library. This 81,00 square foot building offers several floors of books, movies, audio tapes and reference material as well programs for children and adults alike on a daily basis. Every year for twelve years since 2004, the Texas Municipal League has awarded this library the Achievement of Excellence in Libraries award.

The city’s estimated median household income is $82,241, about 45 percent higher than the state’s median household income and just under 40 percent higher than the national average. According to Sperling’s Best Places, the cost of living is about 13 percent higher than the national average with housing being the biggest factor.
The median home value is just above $240,000 which is also about 45 percent higher than the median home value for the state and about 25 percent higher than the national median. With that being said, Niche ranked this suburb sixth (out of 228) of best places to live. (These ratings are based upon analysis from the U.S. Department of Education as well as popular reviews.) The demographics are made up of 51% white

One of the reason for such a high rating for places to live may due to low crime rate. Based on Sperling’s Best Places, this city ranks very low in crime with a ranking of 14 out of 100 for violent crimes and 40 out of 100 for property crimes. In addition, the moderate climate with higher than average sunny days and lower than average snowfall nationally keeps the scores high in the comfort index. Temperatures range from a high in the 90’s in the heat of summer to a low in the 30’s in the winter.

With restaurants, night life, family fun, a strong business presence, and healthy economics, as well as close proximity to downtown Dallas and the Dallas Fort Worth International airport, it’s no wonder that hosts of celebrities including Jeff Dunham and Jessica and Ashlee Simpson were pleased to call Richardson home.
