How to narrow it down
- Decide your real limit first. A 25-minute off-peak drive can be 40 minutes at 8 a.m.
- Check the toll roads on your route. The Dallas North Tollway, President George Bush Turnpike and SH 121 save time but add up over a year (see our Toll roads 101 guide).
- Price the whole payment, not just the house. Property tax rates differ by city and school district, and some newer neighborhoods add MUD or PID taxes.
- School districts follow addresses, not city lines. Verify the exact school zone for any home you like.
