I need a nice, affordable, safe apartment. Roommates are an option.


Answer
well right now it would be best to live in the suburbs, but you will need a car if you move into the suburbs of fort worth. Because the pub transpo doesn't go into those areas. however you can catch the train to dallas and most of the suburbs of dallas have pub transpo.

cheap and safe in fort worth and surrounding areas ( 30 mins from dallas)
Mansfield extremley cheap town homes two bed rooms are 600 and you have a backyard they are nice in a quiet area. the apartments are expensive though 650 for as one bedroom but it's spacious and luxurios with many amenities.

DON"T move to Arlington if you are going to live in an apartment it's a nice city to party in but it's dangeorous unless you stay on campus UTA but still two people get killed on campus a year and countless other abducted and stabbed and robbed.
Euless and grapevine are nice areas with cheap apartments. one bedrooms in euless range from 440- 520. Euless is really quite.
Centreport area. Five minutes from DFW airport quiet but the noise of planes, but I grew up there and it really doesn't bother you. one bedrooms in centre port range from 470- 650. In grapevine one bedrooms range from 550-700. but they are very luxiourous and spacious as well. grapevine is a very rich area.

Dallas and surrounding areas
Dallas is wayyyy more expensive than tarrant county and surrounding areas.
Irving near DFW area port in the center of dallas and fortworth It's a good central location. If you live in an apartment stay on the north side of Irving. Unless you live on the southside of valley view road 10 mins from centre port. In irving the prices vary the lowest being 380 ( I wouldn't recommend living there though, it's not unsafe but you can have better quality for a little more) to 1500 for a one bedroom. Irving is where the Cowboys ( football team NFL) practice and live so the closer you get to them the more expensive but the again it's very luxourious you get your money's worth. The area near the football camp is called las colinas and valley ranch it is still actually Irving though, It is the North side of Irving.
Grandpraire
it's okay in grandpraire. the one bedrooms start at 550-700. be careful in this area there are lots of sex offender in Grandpraire for some reason, but still the crime rate isn't that bad, only if you move into the worng apartments. so if they don't have a gate and the rent is cheap just say no!

Mesquite/Addison/Plano/ North Dallas/ Uptown/ Frisco
This are good areas near dallas ans in dallas. but they are expensive and the apartments are small in comparison to the other places I've listed. Unless you want to overpay for hosing let these places be the last place you go unless you have to be in a very metropolitan urban chic area. then this would be the only places I recommend for you.
Uptown is nice very urban life. near downtown, convience , one bedrooms can go from 1000- .... because some of them are condos and penthouses so the price range can reach triple digits. you may be able to get a one bedroom for 800. dallas and surronding areas are notorious for slashing rent prices dramatically but then rising them after you lease is up. but the special are monthly so its a right place right time thing.. in the spring and winter the prices of apartments fall in this area so although I quoted prices you may get lower prices if they have a special you can only get those prices if you come in though.
Forgot Cedar Hill nice area developing most apartments are new ( built with in the last five years) metropolitan-suburban area safe. Not far from downtown.

How do I find a place with the things I enjoy?

It's kind of hard for me to really ask my question in that thing so I'll explain. I'm not really into a lot of activities. I like technical theatre stuff such as lighting, sound, make up, costume, props. I prefer lighting and stage make up. I also enjoy writing. I want to find something to do that involves the things I love and other people. Like camps, programs, clubs. Something of that nature. Just something social I can do in my area. I live in Arlington Texas, so anything in the Dallas/Arlington/Fort Worth area would be good. Or if you know of a website that would help me find something. I should also add that I am 15. And I would like something I could do over the Summer or during the Fall. Thank you,


Answer
I think the best thing to do would be to first find a local theater production company. Maybe a youth theater group, community theater, or kids acting camp. Nothing serious, just something near by. To find these you could ask local community centers and theaters. Find a few and give them a call. Explain to them that you really enjoy working backstage with the technical aspects of theater. Ask them if they'd be willing to let you work backstage with the set, lighting, sound, etc. I do community theater and most of the people working backstage are parent volunteers. They work on building the set, changing scenes, helping with costumes and props, etc. Since it's around summer break, there are probably tons of production companies and camps, that would be more than happy to have you around. Just make a few calls and see what you can do! Good luck :)
