Richardson is a comfortable, walkable Dallas suburb with tree-lined neighborhoods, parks and trails, a lively local dining and craft-brew scene, and a growing tech and university presence—easy to find short-term rentals and weekend activities that keep multi-week stays interesting.
You’re a short DART ride or drive from downtown Dallas and nearby Plano for museums, nightlife, big shopping and DFW airport, so this can be a convenient, low-stress home base rather than a dead-end posting.
