Hello Misty, I had a friend that lived in Richardson message at the transportation was not that great, and also had one that lived in Fort Worth who said it was wonderful. However if you do choose to live in Richardson, you will have to go to Fort Worth or Dallas to eat anything done as Richardson only Mandy has a small grocery store I think.. Now having said that Owene I'm wise, Darce is a great service here in Texas, they're really good with the win and may have some really great when people I Melady their lives and Lorena. About two hour south of Fort Worth she's really great Laney and I think that she would do but I hope you will learn that area that you would need to know the area they'll be living in/going to school night. Now I hope I've helped you.
