It is with good reason that more than a million people moved to the Dallas/Fort Worth region during the last decade, making it the nation's fourth largest metropolitan area. Its central location, low cost of living, temperate weather, strong regional and state economies and abundance of leisure activities all contribute to a thriving Dallas/Fort Worth.
