r/Richardson

Moving to the area in September for a job near Campbell Rd in Richardson. Looking for a studio or 1BR, ideally a 6-month lease, around $1,400–1,700 all-in.

I've narrowed it down to the CityLine block plus a few nearby:

- Anthem CityLine

- Bell CityLine

- SYNC CityLine

- Windsor CityLine

- The Standard at CityLine

- Axis 110

- Galatyn Station

- Aura Northline (the new one around)

The Google reviews for these are largely unhelpful; half of them are people reviewing a tour. So I'm looking for people who actually lived there.

Specifically curious about:

1. Roaches - Multiple properties have complaints, and I can't tell what's normal for the area vs. an actual problem building.

2. Package theft/delivery - Do any of these switch to Fetch or a third-party service? How'd that go?

3. Move-out charges - Six months go by fast, and I'll be hitting move-out soon. Anyone get hit with surprise charges?

4. Fee stacking - What are you actually paying on top of base rent?

Also, does anyone know which of these will actually do a 6-month term without a huge premium? And is Aura Northline worth the risk of being an early tenant in a brand new building?

Appreciate any input!

Hello! I'm a masc enby and looking for any queer friendly barbers/hair stylists in or near Richardson that are ideally charging around $30 or less. Thank you!

Moving to Richardson from Dallas here shortly and have never truly explored the food scene. I know it’s only 20 min away, but it seems like there’s a lot more hidden gems than I realized.. so I was curious if there’s any my wife and I should definitely go and try?

Hi everyone! I’m moving to Richardson soon for work near 1011 Galatyn Pkwy and would really appreciate apartment/area recommendations from people familiar with Richardson.

I’m 23F and currently looking around Galatyn Park / CityLine, but I’m open to nearby areas too. Since I’m new to Dallas, I’d ideally like to live somewhere that has other young professionals and is lively/social, with cafes, restaurants, bars or things to do nearby on evenings and weekends. I don’t want to end up somewhere that feels completely dead after work 😅

What I’m looking for:

• Ideally $1,300–$1,400/month for my share
• Open to a studio/1BR OR a 2BR with a female roommate
• Definitely open to connecting with potential female roommates around my age
• Furnished would be a big plus, but not mandatory
• Safe area with good apartment management
• Walkable to DART or an easy commute to Galatyn Park
• Ideally somewhere I can manage without immediately buying a car
• Restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, etc. nearby
• Most importantly, somewhere with a younger/livelier atmosphere where it’s easy to go out, meet people and have things to do on weekends

I’ve been looking at Junction at Galatyn Park, Axis 110, Anthem CityLine, The Standard at CityLine, and Foundation at CityLine, but I’m not sure whether Galatyn Park or CityLine would be better socially.

Would you recommend CityLine, Galatyn Park, or another nearby neighborhood for someone in their early 20s? Any apartment complexes you’d strongly recommend or avoid?

Also, if you're a female looking for a roommate around CityLine/Galatyn Park, feel free to DM me!

Thank you!!

Considering Canyon Creek for my toddler part time, but every review I can find is at least two years old. Would love to hear from anyone who has had a kid there recently. Staff, communication, overall vibe, anything helps. Thanks!

Hello,
My wife, 2 kids (2 year old and 5 month old), and I are relocating to the Richardson area from Atlanta GA. We are looking to buy a home in the area. Our budget is about 750k. Where are some of the nice areas to look in Richardson? We are looking for a good sense of community, a relaxed atmosphere, and good schooling. Any help would be appreciated.

Was told to check out II Creeks Plaza for the restaurant the fifth. We had a great dinner, but walked around the plaza and it seemed as if it was dead. So many “for lease” signs up on the shops..anyone know what’s going on with this area? Seems like it would be in a great spot for businesses? I could be wrong.

Did anyone else feel a quick shake just a few minutes ago?

Edit: never mind. Our front yard tree just split and hit the house

Another Update: Albert's Tree Service came over last night to look at it. And he removed a branch that was blocking the front door. He's bringing a crew over today to get the rest. I am still shocked that he responded that quickly! I highly recommend them.

And thank you for the well wishes. We'll find out today if there is any damage under all those limbs.

Hello Plano!

Hi everyone! my name is Jake and I run The Knife Nerd, which is a mobile knife sharpening and blade repair company, based out of Plano. I’m just curious how everyone is keeping their knives sharp these days and the biggest frustrations you face with your dull knives.

Does anyone know what the current status is, has anything changed after the recent city council meeting?

Link to stream of meeting.

Physical location: 2360 Campbell Creek Blvd. Suite 525

Hey, I accepted an offer and will be relocating to Richardson this fall. I’m from the panhandle area of Texas so it won’t be a huge adjustment, but what areas of Richardson do you think are worth renting/living in? Not worth it? Too expensive / sketchy?

Looking to rent an apartment, budget $2400/month.

Moving with my S/O, late 20s, no kids, so we are also wanting to find opportunities to meet new people and make friends since we’ll be in a new area.

Anything helps, thanks.

I need frenz my age 🫶 hmu

One of the things I love about Richardson is that we are well connected. For $6 I can skip the traffic and parking fees to visit downtown Dallas.

When: Sunday, 9 AM

Meet at: Arapaho Center Station

Catch the: Red Line train at 9:18 AM

The Plan:

This will be a slow-paced ride with lots of stops along the way. We'll be checking out:

Parks

Famous sites

Art installations

Fair Park

We'll stop for lunch somewhere downtown. Want to head back early? No problem — just hop on a DART train whenever you're ready.

Weather: Warm weather's here, but mornings should still be nice and comfortable.

Cost: $6 for a DART daypass — buy it at the station or through the GoPass App.
