School me on parts of town worth moving to, and parts to stay away from. My son wants to rent a nice house up there, but doesn't know anything about the town. His girlfriend will be in the UNT health science center area and he needs access to DFW airport. Any guidance is appreciated.

Good luck. The influx of money is really affecting the rental market as far as availability. 1 year leases are being paid in cash upfront just so they can stay there for a few months while they buy/build a home. Just went through this with a couple of clients, they both ended up in hotels while they look for homes.

West and far north are all that's left that's not the hood. Far north is a traffic nightmare. Parts of West are bad too such as Como and Camp Bowie West north to include White Settlement, meth country there. Benbrook, southwest of Loop 820, is where I lived and I would have no problem recommending the area to anyone.

West Fort Worth is great. Rentals there will be pricey. Arlington Heights is a good neighborhood. Some affordable duplexes will pop up there from time to time. Ridglea Hills is very nice, but good luck finding a rental. Agree with ntxtrapper, stay away from the areas he mentioned. I lived in Benbrook for 5 years, it's nice.

Argyle is too far for the UNTHSC. UNTHSC is not in Denton. She needs to live south of 820 and 35W, otherwise she is screwed for traffic. Grab the old ankles, renting is going to be pricey. Is she going for her DO, or something else?

Is she going for her DO, or something else? Yeah, my son is used to paying out the nose for rent. I'm not sure what she's doing up there. Med school? She graduated from UT a couple years ago has been going to UNT for the last year, and now is going to the UNT Health Science Center. Appreciate all the advice, I'll pass it on to him.

Check out the river district. Very close access to downtown, not far from 7th, and some very nice upscale apartments.

I just drove Lantana to their yesterday and unless you have $2 to $6 mill good luck for a house. Enjoyed 407 bbq though. Pretty sure there is affordable stuff to the west though. The esates are insane over there though. Love it.

Is the river district a hip and happening place?

Is the river district a hip and happening place? Absolutely. They have a Whole Foods and a plethora of hipster restaurants. The apartments are along the Trinity River trails so dog walking isn't an issue.

North Fort Worth is still nice if you can stomach the traffic. Airport access is quick and easy anytime of day if you pay to take the toll lanes.

Arlington heights is a nice older neighborhood. Close access to everything you could want.
