The Community of Richardson, TX

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

If you are looking to move to the Dallas area consider Richardson 1st! Richardson offers a small town feel, but is  conveniently located about 25 minutes ( 13 miles) from downtown Dallas. It is a great location for people who work in downtown Dallas, but do not want to deal with city living. If you do not want to mess with the traffic you can take the DART ( Dallas Area Rapid Transit) downtown.

Richardson is a base for a lot of telecommunications companies, more than 5,000 businesses have operations within Richardson’s 28 square miles.

Helpful Facts:

In 2009, Business Week’s annual report on the “Best Places to Raise Kids,” ranked Richardson 2nd in Texas.

Richardson was the first North Texas city recognized as a best workplace for commuters by the EPA and the Department of Transportation in 2004. As of 2010 the city has continued to be recognized every year since 2004
