When you think of the best cities in the country for tech, the Silicon Valley in California is tops of the list. For Texas, Austin has staked its claim recently for technological prowess.
However, another city in the Lone Star State is making a name for itself, specifically for women working the tech industry, and it’s right here in North Texas!
Garland ranked as the ninth best city in the U.S. for women in the tech industry, according to a report from RealtyHop.
According to NBC DFW, the study analyzed “income-generating potential, housing markets, opportunities for women, and overall location to rank the top 100 cities.”
According to the report, Garland “has the most affordable housing market in the Top 10 List, where women in tech spend only 38.28% of their income on a home. Homes come onto the market with a median list price of $339,000, and women spend $2,214.22 monthly on their mortgage payments and property taxes.”
The report also highlighted Garland’s “vibrant downtown area with plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops,” it’s “many parks and outdoor spaces,” and the fact that the city “is also home to several great schools, making it an ideal place for families.”
Irving, Plano, Arlington, Fort Worth, and Dallas also were in the Top 50 on the list.
