Song
Proximity to the Dallas Fort Worth Airport
Connectivity to arterial roads and transportation is a draw for Song residents. “Song has easy access to three major highways and the airport,” Gleason says. In fact, the neighborhood is located right next to the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, making it convenient to catch flights. Though the airport creates a busy area, the noise doesn’t seem to affect residents greatly, according to Gleason. “There is not typically an issue with noise. If anything, it’s actually a selling point,” she says. The neighborhood is also located next to a train station that will take commuters to Fort Worth or Dallas.
Music to residents’ ears
Located less than 10 minutes away from Song sits the Toyota Music Factory, a 17-acre cluster of venues that serves as a hub for live music performances, dining and nightlife. “Toyota Music Factory is a big destination as an entertainment complex,” Gleason says, noting that the area features an open-air pavilion, movie theater, and a host of restaurants and bars. The campus showcases local, regional and national names across genres, such as Leon Bridges and Phoebe Bridgers.Residents can delve further into the local arts scene at the nearby Irving Arts Center, which hosts a variety of performances and exhibitions within its vibrant venue. The arts center features the work of local and regional artists, as well as pieces on loan from the Smithsonian Museum. Apart from weekly happenings like symphony orchestra performances, ballets and local art displays, the center also hosts workshops and hands-on programs for all ages.
A taste of Song’s diversity
“Song is a culturally diverse neighborhood,” Gleason says, adding that the diversity is reflected in the area's variety of stores and restaurants. Just along the neighborhood’s edge, Town North Shopping Center is home to a slew of these eateries, showcasing flavors from Nepal, Pakistan, Peru, Vietnam and beyond. Cafemandu is the go-to spot to experience authentic Nepalese steamed dumplings, while nearby El Tesoro del Inca serves up Peruvian delicacies and rotisserie chicken. The North Town Shopping Center also features convenient necessities like pharmacies and grocery stores such as Kroger and El Rancho Supermercado.For a variety of big box department retailers, residents need only go 5 minutes down the street to Irving Mall. The crossroads of North Belt Line Road and the Texas 183 Expressway are home to a plethora of locales, from Target and Dillard’s to chain fast food restaurants.
Variety of housing options and traditional styles
Tree-lined streets feature traditional-style brick homes, and many condominiums, townhouses and apartment complexes are also found in the neighborhood. Most single-family homes were built between the 60s and 80s, though a smattering of more recent construction rounds out the housing stock. With a median real estate cost of $365,000, prices here typically range from condos starting at $134,500 to five-bedroom estates fetching over $1 million. “It’s an older, more established community that’s still very affordable, as far as pricing in north Texas goes,” Gleason says.
Strong academics in Irving Independent School District
Irving Independent School District serves kids in Song, maintaining a B score from Niche and ranked among the top 15 schools in the district. Students in Song may attend Haley T. Elementary School before advancing to Sam Houston Middle School, both of which earn a C-plus overall grade from Niche. At MacArthur High School, which receives a B-plus score, students benefit from a 15 to 1 student-teacher ratio and participate in strong athletic and extracurricular programs.
Birdsong and scenic bliss at Victoria Park
Less than 1 mile away, neighboring parks Victoria Park and Cottonwood Creek offer recreational respites for Song residents. Children scale the castle-themed playground at Victoria Park, letting their imaginations roam wild. A scenic pond provides a tranquil setting for birdwatching or fishing, and park-goers enjoy the views or feed the ducks along the paved walking paths. The park also features two beach volleyball courts and a sheltered pavilion for picnics and gatherings.
