Area you considering relocating to Richardson, TX? Check out this list of great reasons to consider moving to the area.

With a population of more than 99,000 residents, there must be something pretty appealing to living in the northern Dallas suburb of Richardson, Texas. Could it be the city's low crime rate? The thriving economy, despite national financial crisis? Perhaps the convenient location to "Big D" and all its attractions? We think all of these things combined are what make Richardson such a fantastic place to call home.

Here are 5 reasons you'll love living in Richardson:

Richardson has achieved national recognition for its safety and quality of life. In 2006, Richardson was ranked the 15th best place to live in the U.S. by Money magazine. In 2007, it received the designation of 5th safest city in Texas. More recently, Richardson has been recognized for its excellence in the field of recreation and parks management.

Richardson is home to several top employers. AT&T, Bank of America, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Ericsson and United Healthcare are among Richardson's top 10 major employers. Known as "the Telecom Corridor," many Richardson residents make their living in the telecommunications industry.
