Hutchins is a suburban city about 10 miles from Dallas’s city center
Hutchins may be one of the smallest cities in Dallas County, but it's growing slowly and steadily alongside other rural spots near downtown. Many people move to this enclave for an easy commute to work and for its peaceful proximity to Trinity River. “Hutchins is right in the middle of anywhere you want to go,” says Realtor Cherri Bryant of Monument Realty. Interstates 20 and 45 intersect in this neighborhood, taking you up and down Texas and getting you downtown quickly. “The city gets expensive. You have to keep going farther out to get a little bit more for your money, and we are fortunate that our little bit more keeps us growing,” says Realtor Cecilia Baca-Pena of Century 21 Judge Fite Company. “As Dallas continues to improve our roads, and rural places become more accessible, people are drawn to them.” Though most of the population in Hutchins remains those born and raised here, they like making new friends. "A client of mine who just bought a house in Hutchins said one of his new neighbors came by to introduce themselves. People don’t do that anymore," Bryant shares. “It’s been a welcoming place for him.”
Hutchins locals enjoy exploring the tree-lined streets leading to the Trinity Forest.
Welcome to Hutchins, a peaceful city with easy access to Downtown Dallas.

Local parks include Sunrise Creek and Martin Luther King Jr. parks
On the weekends and free afternoons, neighbors head to the local parks. Hutchins residents have plenty of outdoor spaces to choose from – including Sunrise Creek Park and Martin Luther King Jr. Park – but nothing beats the Trinity River Greenbelt Goat Preserve. This 501-acre island off Post Oak Road contributes to 8 miles of accessible waterfront in Dallas County. Locals love to use its trails for off-road cycling, hiking and running. As leaves change from green to red and yellow, neighbors celebrate the season with the annual Fall Festival organized by The City of Hutchins Parks and Recreation Board. At this event they can expect free food, fun and friendly faces.
