A great place to raise a family
A suburban neighborhood in Grand Prairie, the ninth-largest city in DFW and 17th-largest in Texas, Arcadia Park is conveniently located along Interstate 30, about 10 miles west of Dallas and 30 miles east of Fort Worth. The area attracts families, primarily 30-something, dual-income renters and homeowners, and its residents from families who’ve been there for generations welcome newcomers with open arms. Arcadia Park’s packed with employment opportunities at its many warehouses and distribution centers for companies like Amazon, Taylor Farms and Petco. “It’s a great place to grow,” says local Realtor Adam Olivas, who’s sold homes in DFW for two years. “It’s a good, strong community and definitely a great place to raise a family. I’ve met a lot of great families in that area, and they love it. A lot of people move down there and will probably never leave.”

You can get to Arlington, Fort Worth or Dallas in 15 or 30 minutes, depending on traffic.” Grand Prairie has an on-demand, shared transportation service called Via Grand Prairie, as well as a transit system called Grand Connection for residents at least 60 years old or those with a mental or physical disability. The closest hospital is Methodist Dallas Medical Center, seven miles away, and the closest airport is Love Field, nine miles away.

Single-family bungalows on well-sized lots
Arcadia Park has small, single-family bungalows on well-sized lots, sometimes spotted with sprawling oak trees. Though many homes have fenced-in front yards, they often have front porches big enough for small patio furniture so residents can hang out outside and say hi to their neighbors who pass by. Houses here are older and architecturally simple, often built in the 1940s and ‘50s with white vinyl or stone siding. In Arcadia Heights, buyers can find homes for much lower prices than in many other parts of DFW, and the market moves quickly, with homes selling after an average of four days on the market. “The market in Grand Prairie is steadier than in other parts of Dallas,” Olivas says. “Some sellers try to take a reach, but they realize they have to cut down very quickly because the Grand Prairie market is very aggressive.” Prices fall between $175,000 and $350,000, and the median overall price in the neighborhood is about $240,000.
