Should I accept a job in Balch Springs?

Recently received a job offer in Balch Springs. I’m from the west coast.
I am excited to have an offer but I should have done more research into the area because it apparently is very sketchy.
To those who live there, would you advise moving?
Should I accept it or keep looking?

It’s kind of shitty but has nice areas. I personally would live more towards Forney and just commute to work in Balch Springs.

Looked at Forney. Definitely considering it!

You can find a house in Rowlett, Richardson, Fornery, Crandall, Heartland or Mesquite (find the nicer part here).

If there is an option... drive into batch springs and live elsewhere. Houses arent thst nice in most the areas. But cheaper than anything nearer to Dallas, which is like 15 to 20 mins from most of balch springs.
I live in east Dallas and commute near and in balch springs often. Never had an issue.
It isn't terrible. Mainly Hispanic with sprinkles of everything else.

I don't live there but the last time I was there I noticed there are a fuck ton of trailer parks. I would not live in Balch Springs, but you could always work there and live somewhere less shitty.

You don’t have to live there? Balch Springs is commutable from other more lively areas of Dallas.

I live n the Balch Springs area , nothing sketchy is out here 💀 they literally just built a Starbucks. It’s a retirement area plus ur only about 16-22 minutes away from downtown
