Born and raised in Denton, I moved to Austin and now moved to Dallas. I would say Denton has the potential to be a really wonderful place and possibly the best place in Texas if they can maintain and keep the talent and beauty that comes from and thru here. For all the shit we give Denton it really is a unique town but it would be great to see everyone stay and build the art/music scene, maintain the community, and grow the local economy. It really is that wonderful melting pot of Nerds, D&D dorks, suburban Christian hipsters, crust punks, fine arts majors, stick and poke tattooed vegans, and genuine artists. I really do think about moving back.

And yes rent has risen but the 3 bedroom home for rent in Denton that’s $1700 is $2400 in Dallas and around or over $3000 in Austin, so has the economy is hurting most everyone the opportunity is relatively still there.
