Carrollton Texas Best city in the US - 10/14/2021

Love Carrollton, Texas. When I compare my city to any other city where my friends live Carrollton always comes out ahead in every area. I especially like to compare the crime rate of any other city to my own and I am comforted that it is way ahead of any place I try to compare to.

Corrupt Care-less a ton Carrollton - 8/4/2020

As a former resident of Carrollton, I can say that this city has become corrupted. I would not advise anyone to move here. The people are disrespectful, rude, and will damage anyone stoning them to death for anything of a standard. Businesses may seem respectful, but they will feed propaganda anyone gives them to destroy a person's human existence. The Carrollton library is among the very worse locations as is every business and church in Carrollton. They raise unnecessary awareness for private issues, create phobias, discrimination, and targeted hate. If someone has a mole on their face, they would close businesses and stone the individual. Such is the case for good morals. They spread gossip to each person that enters the library which continues to add to homelessness and unemployment. I have asked them to stop, reported it to the city mayor, police, and head librarian. They have done this everyday for 6 years and now I have $10 and they still continue. The city is nice, but the people are absolutely rotten here. I would advise people to move elsewhere. What the people of Carrollton are is enough to make a person vomit.

All time favorite place to live. - 7/20/2020

I have lived in Carrollton, Texas since 1999 (21 years). This is the most convenient, safe and reasonable priced housing area. Public transportation is available but most depend on autos. Excellent highway access and schools.

Climate - 6/4/2008

The climate in Carrollton is great. We have about 3 months of hot weather, but the winters, springs and falls make up for that.

Easy access to anywhere in Metroplex - 3/9/2008

I've lived in southeast Carrollton for 4.5 yrs. This part of Carrollton is located in Dallas County and I have great access to anywhere in the metroplex via Dallas North Tollway, George Bush Turnpike, IH 35-E, and 635. I'm 2 miles from the restaurants and entertainment of Addison and 5 miles from Galleria yet far enough away from traffic and congestion that these areas have daily.

Carrollton - 8/16/2007

I have lived in several states and the cost of living here is still a lot lower. If you want to own a home it is not an impossible dream.

Great place if you love crime and bad weather - B - 5/12/2007

Moved here from CA in January. Have had my car broken into 3 times - and I am not in a bad area by the looks of it! The people, although very nice, are of a lower class. That isn't intended to insinuate that Texans are lower class, most people here are from somewhere else. The great thing about Texas in general is that if you like antiques, they are here for the taking..cheap! The cost of living is great, very affordable. The weather - oh the weather...crazy! Thunder, ligtning, rain, humidity, tornados, snow, ice, wind and a few perfect days are some of what I see every week. It really does go from beautiful to tornado in an instant. House values do not go up very fast, if at all. There are so many new homes in the 150,000 - 250 range that there is no need to buy a used home, so if you buy here, plan to stay. On the upside, 150-250 gets you a beautiful 4-5 bedroom home with 2 living rooms, a formal dining and there are game rooms (bonus loft) in almost all - this to me is amazing but I did just come from Orange County, CA. I have mixed feelings, take the good (cost of living) with the bad (weather, crime)is the best way to look at it, I guess. Overall, I would rate Carrollton as a 7 (10 being best)

Questions for Single Women - 6/18/2006

Hi all! Will be moving to Carrollton from AZ and wanted to know from you single women out there, how safe is it at night? Are you comfortable going out for an evening stroll alone? How safe it is living on the first floor of an apartment complex? Was thinking of working in Dallas and getting an apartment in the northern part of city, but after looking at the crime rates, figured it might be better to live in the outskirts, like Carrollton. Also was very excited to see they have a train service that goes downtown. I understand shuttles take you from various spots in Carrollton to the train station. Thanks for any feedback.

Family - 11/21/2005

Carrollton, Texas has a lot of family activities through parks and recreation, and by being close to a large metropolian area- Dallas/Fort Worth. There are not 4 seasons here because most of the year the temperatures are such that shorts and summer clothes are worn. Seldom is there a year that it snows. Therefore many family outside activites involve swimming, and seasonal sports.

Community - 8/9/2005

Carrollton is a great place, and a growing community. Neighborhoods are full of kids and neighbors get to know one another. Community rec centers (Rosemead) are fully equipped work-out gyms offering many classes and are only 90 dollars a year for families! Great churches like Bent tree Bible church is amazing! We just moved away and we miss it!
