Grant’s direct answer
For a recent graduate focused on central Dallas, I generally begin with The 23 in Victory Park, L2 Uptown, Mondrian West Village, and selected communities at The Village. Gallery Turtle Creek or Dallas Urby may provide useful comparisons depending on budget and building preference. If the job is in West Plano or Frisco, I build a separate northern tour around current Addison, Legacy West, and Frisco options rather than forcing a difficult central-Dallas commute. No list is universal: workplace, office frequency, total monthly budget, preferred unit type, walkability, social priorities, and live availability should determine the final route.
