North Texas city known for its parks and community spirit
Cedar Hill is unique among the cities that make up the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. It's the highest point for 100 miles—sitting 880 feet above sea level—leading it to have one of the highest concentrations of radio and television communication antennas in the U.S. Fourteen towers rise thousands of feet above Cedar Hill, and their blinking lights are a visual reference point for pilots flying over the area.
Cedar Hill is also rich in parkland, with 33 parks that range from smaller neighborhood green spaces to large nature preserves and greenbelts. The biggest is Cedar Hill State Park, which spreads across 1,825 acres and hugs Joe Pool Lake, a 7,500-acre lake for boating and swimming. Along with enjoying easy access to nature, the city's 48,000 residents value the strong sense of community. "Cedar Hill's focus is on the people who live in the community," says Brandon Small, a Realtor with Monument Realty. "When the new Cedar Hill library opened this year, the parking lot was packed with people from the community to support it. I was there with my family and was blown away by how amazing that event was. The community works together and celebrates together here."
While many commute to downtown Dallas, 20 miles away, or downtown Fort Worth, a 30-mile drive, Cedar Hill locals are also employed by the Cedar Hill Independent School District and the City of Cedar Hill.

Thousands of acres of parkland, plus Joe Pool Lake
About 20% of Cedar Hill's 36 square miles are reserved as parkland. That's around 2,500 acres across 33 parks, greenbelts and nature preserves, along with 36 miles of trails. The largest is Cedar Hill State Park, which stretches along the 7,500-acre Joe Pool Lake and includes a trail system, marina and fishing ponds. The Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center features several trails that wind through a canyon and offer opportunities to see birds and rare plant species. There are also two city recreational centers with indoor fitness facilities. Other indoor amusements include the Cedar Hill Roller Rink, the oldest rink in Texas, dating from 1956.

Most of Cedar Hill's housing was built in the past four decades, though the downtown's historic district has homes dating back to the early 20th century. Properties range from 1990s ranch-style homes in the northeast portion of the city to luxurious new construction near Joe Pool Lake. "Cedar Hill gives you elevation, especially in the areas close to Joe Pool," says Rashad Thomas, a Realtor with Star Five Realtors. "The city has much better views than other places in Dallas." Homes with panoramic lake views in gated communities like Promontory of Cedar Hill are priced in the multimillions. However, the median sales price in Cedar Hill is $350,000, lower than the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area median of $399,000. "The housing market has continued to appreciate here in Cedar Hill," Small says.
