Your guide to finding the right Dallas-Fort Worth neighborhood for your family.
Your priorities drive your results. Two families get different rankings based on what matters to them.
Every score comes from real data sources—school ratings, crime stats, commute times, and more.

Enter your home price range. We'll show you neighborhoods that fit—and a few "stretch" options worth considering.

Sofee pulls from trusted public and commercial data sources to ensure accuracy:
| Data | Source | Updates |
|---|---|---|

Rankings are weighted by your priorities. If you increase the importance of commute, neighborhoods with shorter drives will rise and those with longer commutes will drop—even if they were great on other factors.
Yes. We show "stretch" options that are slightly over your max budget when they score significantly better than alternatives. The "Just Out of Reach" insight highlights these opportunities.
Top Matches are the highest-scoring neighborhoods within your budget. Honorable Mentions are close runners-up that may have minor trade-offs but are still worth considering.
In the preferences form, you'll find an "Exclude Cities" section. Check any cities you want to skip, and their ZIP codes won't appear in your results.
This is our candid assessment of who would thrive in each neighborhood—based on data, not marketing. We tell you the trade-offs, not just the highlights.
Sofee is a decision-support tool, not a guarantee. Our data comes from reputable sources and is updated regularly, but real estate markets change quickly. Always verify current prices and visit neighborhoods in person before deciding.
