Looking to buy a home in DFW? These are the suburbs to bet on

Dallas is home to 11 of the 25 top Texas suburbs in which to buy a house — but only one cracks the top 10 in this new ranking from Niche. 

Cities were ranked on criteria including quality of public schools, crime and safety, housing, nightlife, how good the area is for families, and diversity. Niche gathered data from the U.S. Census Bureau, FBI and other sources to feed its ranking.

Niche defined a suburb as a place located within a census-defined urbanized area, but outside the principal city, and with a population of at least 1,000.
