South West Arlington offers top schools, large parks and city access
South West Arlington residents make convenience a priority. The neighborhood has plenty of green space and is zoned for highly rated schools, but people can quickly get to other parts of the city, where there is plenty to see. “The thing I like most about it is the easy access to all things DFW without feeling too much hustle and bustle,” says David Sheehan, the founder and principal broker of Reflect Real Estate. “It’s suburban and quaint, but you can also get to AT&T Stadium in no time. It’s a nice corner of the metroplex.”
South West Arlington has quiet corners like this dock where locals fish and unwind by the water.

Ranch-style and contemporary houses on walkable streets
Sheehan says the community’s amenities and location make it more desirable than others, raising its home values. “A $250,000 house might be $325,000 here,” Sheehan says. Single-story ranch-style houses with traditional brick exteriors fill the neighborhood. They can range from $210,000 to $500,000. Larger contemporary homes usually run from $430,000 to $875,000, though select custom homes can exceed $1 million. Two-story townhomes often sell from $230,000 to $370,000. While subdivisions can be arranged in grid patterns, many neighborhood roads have curves. The community’s asphalt streets usually have at least one sidewalk. Mailboxes can sit on posts or inside brick holders. Front yards can feature small and medium trees and bushes. Most of the area’s fencing is wood.
