About Us

Welcome to JustOutsideDallas.com! We’re the Bywaters—your friendly neighborhood explorers venturing beyond the hustle and bustle of Dallas. We, along with our two delightful daughters, have found a haven of natural beauty, charming small towns, and friendly communities just a stone’s throw away from the city’s towering skyscrapers.

A Little About Us

We are a young family who traded the high costs and fast pace of our previous city life for the welcoming arms of Texas, seeking a fresh start and an affordable place to raise our girls. Little did we know, we’d fall head over heels for the quaint, peaceful charm found just outside Dallas. Our weekends quickly filled with mini adventures—each one revealing a new layer of this wonderful area we now call home.

Why Just Outside Dallas?

Simply put, it’s where the pace slows, smiles are a dime a dozen, and nature beckons at every turn. Just beyond the city, we found places where the coffee tastes sweeter in the morning calm, and where our girls can chase butterflies through wildflower fields. It’s where community thrives, history lives, and every day holds the promise of a new discovery.
