Quick answer
Dallas walkability is usually neighborhood-scale rather than metro-wide. Grant wants the apartment close to the things you expect to use frequently—restaurants, coffee, trails, groceries, nightlife or fitness—while accepting that a car may still be needed for work or other parts of DFW. Uptown and Knox offer more traditional urban walkability; The Village offers a different kind of internal community walkability.
