Hi Ladies, I wanted to introduce myself.  I am Jenn, and my husband and I are moving to DFW at the end of the month. I have lurked on this board for a few weeks, but was nervous to post, but I'm finally giving it a go!

I am from So Cal and have lived here my whole life. My H is from Grapevine, and that is likely where we will be living as his job is also there. Can anyone recommend a nice apartment complex in or near Grapevine?

 I look forward to getting to know you ladies!

Re: Newbie

  • Welcome!  I am from Grapevine too!  I just moved from the Montelena Apartments in Grapevine and they were nice.  What year did your H graduate HS?
  • I will be checking those apartments out, thanks for the rec.

    He graduated in '01

    I'm actually going out there in 2 weeks for about 10 days without him, any suggestions of things to do while I am there? I don't want to be stuck with my IL's and would love to get out.

  • Hi! We have a couple of girls moving from the LA area to DFW in the next few weeks. CA to DFW seems to be a popular move!

  • Thanks ladies!

    Lesalyric - I think it's a popular move because it's just so dang expensive here. Out there we can rent an apartment twice the size of our current one, and much newer and nicer for less than we pay here. Plus the people are so much nicer!

  • Hello and Welcome.  I don't know much about Grapevine, so I'm of no use.  :)
  • Welcome! My H and I are about to start looking at apartments in grapevine too!

    We are from the area, just looking for a cheaper apt.

    Welcome to DFW!

  • Hi!  I just moved out here recently too and am really enjoying it :-)!  It's amazing to me how much more affordable it is to live out here.  Now, if only it would cool down for a couple of days :-)!
  • How fun! I graduated in 02.  What's his name? You can PM me if you don't want to put it here yet.  :)

    There are also tons of apartments up by Grapevine Mills Mall that are really nice. 

  • Welcome!!!

  • Welcome, all of you newbies!

    PS I love how one newbie pipes up and the others sneak in - we see you MNKate and Ali!  Welcome to you too... although Kate I think I remember seeing you post a while back?

  • Thanks for the welcome ladies!

    MNKate, where in LA are you from? We are from San Diego, and I grew up near Temecula.  When you moved did you drive out there? If so, how was it?! I'm dreading it!

    Thank you -- yes, I have been posting here and there. It's much easier now that I'm in the same time zone as everyone else!!

    Thank you for the warm welcome!!

    We moved from Hermosa Beach, a nice beach town in the South Bay. But I'm originally from Minneapolis (hence, the MNKate) - but we loved our time in CA!!

    Yep, we did the drive. It really wasn't too shabby. Although DH and I are big road-trippers, so it was fun for us. We just had our car (movers are bringing everything else) so it made for a nice trip. Took us about 2.5 days to do. 

    Good luck with the move!!!!!

    PS We have a friend who lives in the apts in downtown Grapevine - 925main or something like that. They're pretty nice!!
