The many shops of Forum Estates
Few neighborhoods in Grand Prairie experience the kind of shopping that Forum Estates does. A North Texas neighborhood of around 6,000 residents, Forum Estates is unique in that it’s surrounded by multiple shopping centers, including Grand Prairie Premium Outlets on the southern end. It’s also directly southwest of EpicCentral, a 172-acre entertainment complex that features a Vegas-style water and light show every night. “That EpicCentral area includes a waterpark, a gym and a lot of restaurants and shopping,” special district administrator Lee Harriss says. “It’s very popular with the people of Grand Prairie.” With a diverse housing stock, easy highway access and no shortage of local retail, the Forum Estates is a mixed-use community around 20 miles between Dallas and Fort Worth.
The Grand Prairie Premium Outlets are inside Forum Estate's borders.

Traditional and ranch-style homes with curb appeal
Houses are primarily situated to the north around Forum Drive and split up between multiple loops and subdivisions. “There’s a lot of common features in the neighborhood,” Harriss says. “They have a lot of flower beds at the entrances, and the medians are also landscaped. It’s a nice, single-family neighborhood with really strong curb appeal.” Grassy lawns are properly maintained with landscaped bushes and tall trees, and some houses also have their own lamp posts. Traditional and ranch-style homes are most prominent in the neighborhood, with prices ranging between $300,000 and $575,000.
Multi-story traditional homes sit in Forum Estate's subdivisons.
