Dallas is more than football, Big Oil and Texas-sized BBQ. It also offers plenty of jobs and affordable home prices, a perfect combination for Millennials looking to relocate, according to NAR's report.
The city offers jobs in a range of fields: energy (Exxon/Mobil (XOM)), telecom (AT&T (T,Tech30)), tech (Texas Instruments (TXN)) and healthcare (Tenet Healthcare Corp. (THC)) to name a few.
Not only has that been attracting hoards of new residents -- the metro area's population grew 5.5% over the past three years, twice the national rate -- but it also helps to make buying a home in the metro area that much more affordable.
Home prices are about 9% cheaper than the rest of the country.
Median home price: $175,0
