Dallas knows what you think of when you think about Dallas: big cars, big hats and big hair—with an even bigger personality. Dallas would also like you to know that you're dead wrong. That Dallas, which was stereotyped in the 80s soap opera of the same name, is being eclipsed by a younger, more urban Dallas. You're just as likely to see a hipster beard and top knot as you are to see cowboy hats and boots in downtown Dallas these days.

In the recent past Dallas was a commuter city where the city center was quiet and empty after six pm, with most folks commuting home for the day. Now thanks to the demand for more central residential housing and a more walkable downtown, the last 10 to 15 years have seen large investments in public and private infrastructure that have transformed Dallas into a bustling cityscape, with restaurants, parks and a nightlife to match.

The neighborhoods of Uptown, the Cedars, Deep Ellum and Victory have all seen an influx of Millenials and Gen Xers looking to put down roots in Dallas. If you are a new homeowner in any one of these neighborhoods or another borough in the middle of transition, let ADT help you safeguard your new home from property damage or theft. Enjoy all that Dallas has to offer, with even greater peace of mind.
