Modern living in the Dallas – Fort Worth Metroplex
With innovative city planning and a commitment to community, Addison has long stood out as an urban destination in the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex. The city of about 17,000 is renowned for the revolutionary Addison Circle Development, becoming the first of its kind to combine walkable green spaces, restaurants and residential areas. While the city’s restaurants bring in visitors from all over north Texas, many choose to live and work here, as Addison features multiple major corporate headquarters, including Mary Kay Cosmetics and Wingstop.
The city is well-connected to the metroplex, with the Dallas North Tollway linking directly to downtown. Multiple expansion projects, including the upcoming Silver Line Light Rail project, will solidify Addison’s reputation as a chic urban hub, offering big-city convenience without sacrificing the importance of community and walkability. “Addison really does have that small town feel where people know each other,” says Bruce Arfsten, city mayor and local Realtor. “Yet we still have commercial development with over 10 million square feet of office space.”
Addison is a lively city in North Texas with a focus on building community.
Whether you are looking for fashion, furniture, or gifts, Addison has it all.

Addison is divided into three distinct areas: Addison East, Addison Circle and Addison West. This city has many housing options, from single-family options in quieter neighborhoods to new condo buildings near Addison Circle. “Compared to surrounding cities, inventory is newer when it comes to single-family homes,” says David Heape Group at Keller Williams Realty. “Everything new is a teardown.”
Condos near the city’s center are popular with young professionals and range between $400,000 and $600,000. The median price in the city is around $560,000, above the median for Dallas. Addison is also known for its convenient city services, with trash pickups twice a week and on-demand bulky trash services.

Addison Circle Park is an outdoor destination
In a sea of concrete in the DFW metroplex, Addison stands out for its commitment to parks and recreation, with more than 113 acres of green space scattered throughout the city. Addison Circle Park is the most popular outdoor spot and features amenities like splash pads, water displays, stages and green space. “We just completed a study on Addison Circle Park where we brought in a consultant and asked how we can elevate and activate the park even more,” Arfsten says. “Green space is really important. In Addison, we make sure it’s not just buildings and concrete.”
Canine companions can also get in on the fun as there are three dog parks within city limits. Addison also has miles of trails that wind through residential areas and the heavily forested White Rock Creek. Golfers have no problem getting on the greens with Bent Tree Country Club and the Clubs of Prestonwood nearby.
The holiday season is lit up in Vitruvian Park with a stunning display of Christmas lights, attracting visitors from all over. Although summers are hot, residents can still stay in shape at the Addison Athletic Club, a membership-based facility with numerous athletic and recreational amenities. And for a night out, the city is just 15 miles from the American Airlines Center, home of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks and NHL’s Dallas Stars.
Walking in Addison Circle Park is a popular way for Addison residents to enjoy the fresh air.

Addison’s shopping and dining district is a model for other cities
Addison was one of the first communities in DFW to allow packaged liquor sales back in 1975. This has led to one of the country's most concentrated collections of restaurants featuring all types of cuisine, from classic Tex-Mex to upscale barbecue. “Addison per capita of people to restaurants has more than any other city in the country,” says Bruce Arfsten. “If all the residents of Addison went out at the same time, they’d all have a place to sit.”
The city is also the home of the original location of two popular Brazilian steakhouses: Texas de Brazil and Fogo de Chao. While many visitors drive from all over the metroplex to visit the rapidly expanding Village on the Parkway, a newer mixed-use development offering restaurants, bars and a movie theater, Addison Circle has long been the defining commercial area of the city. “Addison Circle is the first of its kind when it was built in the late 1990s,” says David Heape. “No one was doing it like Europe yet with parks, retail and shopping below and apartments above. Tour buses of other city managers would come into Addison Circle as it was a pioneer for that model of living.” The district features popular watering holes like the Mucky Duck and The Lion & Crown and a large steel sculpture dubbed ‘Blueprints at Addison Circle’ completed in 2000. It is also home to the WaterTower Theatre, one of Texas’ leading professional theatre companies and an institution for performing arts in the north Texas area.
Addison has many restaurants for its residents.
Several shopping centers with a variety of shops to fill all needs are available throughout Addison.

Addison likes to celebrate with three signature events
Addison has three signature events that bring in people from all over the metroplex. Taste Addison has been held every spring since 1993 and features a weekend full of local beverages, live music and national headlining acts. Summer in Addison is capped off with the nationally recognized fireworks show Kaboom Town, which draws in over 400,000 visitors every July, making it the largest display in the metroplex. In September, beer, culture, and good times flow during the city’s Oktoberfest celebration. Addison Circle Park hosts the growing celebration every year, and visitors flock for the sound of polka bands and tasty turkey legs. “It's so fun, just a great family event,” Arfsten says. “We have this huge tent with a dance floor and kids doing the chicken dance.”
Residents can also stay engaged with their community through the Addison Citizens Academy. Participants in the academy will attend multiple in-person sessions at the city’s multiple departments, gaining valuable insight on how the local government operates. “People who live here are very loyal to Addison,” Heap says.
Addison hosts a variety of live performances throughout the year.

Well-connected to the rest of DFW
Addison is well-positioned to the DFW metroplex’s network of highways and toll roads. The Dallas North Tollway runs straight through the city, linking directly to downtown Dallas, 15 miles away. Addison also has its own general aviation airport, which has become a popular landing destination for corporate travel. “The Addison Airport is a world-class, general aviation airport that is one of the busiest and most successful in the county,” says Bruce Arfsen. “It’s a big economic driver for companies who use private aircraft.” For commercial airlines, Dallas–Fort Worth International Airport is around 18 miles away. Dallas AREA Rapid Transit or DART services multiple bus stops throughout Addison, and future expansion projects like the DART Silver Line will provide residents with a 26-mile regional rail line that traverses the metroplex. Construction is expected to be completed in late 2025 or early 2026.
Crime and Environment
Addison experiences hot and humid summers, with temperatures often reaching into the upper 90s. Winters are mild, though the occasional cold spell can bring snow and sleet. DFW lies on the southern end of Tornado Alley, and strong thunderstorms are common throughout the spring, summer and fall. The Town of Addison Police Department serves the city. The department makes arrest reports weekly so residents can stay up to date on its activity. Additionally, the department uses resources such as community crime maps to help keep the city informed.
