You will miss the rivers, beaches,mountains. You get to trade those for hail storms, tornadoes, and 100+ temperatures. In close to the DFW area, it may be hard to find land fora reasonable price. If you look around, you can find homes with 1-5 acres. Housing costs in the area are fairly reasonable compared to other parts of the country, but property taxes, insurance, and utilities are higher. Depending on where you are, you might try south of DFW area, around Burleson, Joshua, Ennis or Waxahachie. If you are more to the west or northwest part, look around Haslet, Rhome, Justin, or Aledo.

Good luck with your interview!

Don't mean to scare anyone; DFW area is really a great place to live. Our weather just tends to scare some folks who aren't used to midwest severe thunderstorms or the summertime heat. If you look south and west of the metroplex, you should be able to find some decent prices. The closer you get to Dallas and Collin counties, the higher the prices seem to go. Be careful about living in Arlington however, they have sales taxes to help pay for Jerry Jones' football cathederal.
