Trees, not traffic in the suburbs of Dallas
Located about 13 miles outside of Dallas, Duncanville is a city of about 39,000 that is part of four Dallas suburbs that make up the Best Southwest area. 'Trees, not traffic' is a local saying that paints the picture of the community's laid-back environment compared to larger cities. "Expansive residential neighborhoods give the suburban feel that many people and families are looking for, yet it is close enough to Dallas to take advantage of the big city amenities and job opportunities," says Silvia Ochoa, a real estate agent with Keller Williams.
Leading employers in the area include Methodist Charlton Medical Center and the school district. "With approximately 18 campuses and over 1600 employees, this lends to great community involvement within the schools," Ochoa says. The Texas Department of Agriculture named Duncanville a Certified Retirement Community in 2007.

Midcentury and contemporary housing in the Dallas Hill Country
Duncanville's median home sale price is around $300,000, which is lower than the national and Dallas median. Residential neighborhoods near the highway, like Candlelight Estates, offer single-family houses that typically cost between $220,000 and $280,000. Suburban neighborhoods near the nature preserve, like Green Hills, have bigger homes on larger lots, usually ranging from $450,000 to $550,000. "Duncanville historically has a tight housing market, meaning fewer homes for sale, but it remains a popular destination for buyers searching for affordability," Ochoa says. "It has a more attractive price point than the surrounding cities."

Armstrong Park is 21 acres and includes a playground, a rec center and sports courts. The Duncanville Recreation Center and Public Library is an integrated learning and sports center featuring a double gym, walking track and game room, while the library holds more than 100,000 books, movies and other media.
