I'm also willing spend some time in TX, specifically the DFW metro because getting around is fairly easier the way the airport is situated.

Currently I have a house in contract in a community on hwy 114 which is 4 miles west of Texas motor speedway (zip 76247) and north of Alliance airport.

Or, is it sought after for other reasons (college campuses are nearby, close to airport, etc)?

Always know that units on busy streets, those that back up to busy streets and those that are near airports, train tracks, commercial, etc usually have an approximate value of 10% less than those that are not near these things.

Nope, you're a few years too early for light rail from the airport.

(For those that live in Vegas its near UNLV/and airport.)Any guidance here would be immensely appreciated!!

How would you do if you had to spend a day in the airport with this person?

Welcome Tyson,Others will argue but my rule of thumb especially for small SFR/MF is 2 hours travel distance (include airport wait time).

With new freeways, high speed train, upgraded airport and other infrastructural developments in the area of the hotel, land and real estate have seen steady capital growth.

Plans to were announced last month to invest $2B into the cities airport in anticipation of the population/business travel growth.
