Homes, retail and waterways weave together

Valley Ranch, a master-planned community in Irving less than 20 miles northeast of Dallas, has grown immensely beyond the 19th-century cattle ranch for which it is named. The community weaves thousands of homes and condos alongside local businesses, restaurants, acres of green space, walkable paths and man-made waterways. The community enjoys easy access to both Fort Worth and Dallas but is removed from busier areas in the metroplex to offer a more laid-back pace. “Valley Ranch has a great location, a neighborhood feel and is close to everything,” says Eva Hines, the owner of Dallas and Beyond Real Estate Group. “Our clients also love all the parks and bike trails, and also the diversity of the area.”

In-demand homes at every price point

The many subdivisions of this master-planned community are filled with a mix of single- and two-story houses that share features like red and brown brick facades, outdoor patios, and one- or two-car garages and are connected along a series of oak tree-lined residential streets. While Valley Ranch offers a variety of home styles and sizes, all the community’s offerings are popular with buyers. “Demand is strong because inventory is still low,” Hines says. “There is not one style that is more popular because price and move-in ready condition are more important than style.” A single-family home in Valley Ranch ranges between $400,000 to $800,000 and custom-build homes can reach up to $1 million or $2 million. Valley Ranch also has other housing options, like condos that hover around $300,000.

Riverfront and canal-bordered parks

Valley Ranch is known for its greenbelts, pedestrian paths, and landscaped canals that are scenic and protect the community from flash flooding that is common in the area. One of the largest dedicated green spaces in the area is Sam Houston Trail Park, which is off Interstate 635 and bordered by the Elm Fork Trinity River. The park provides a resting spot along the 22-mile paved Campion Trail, which stretches from Valley Ranch to Las Colinas. The Valley Ranch development is also dotted with some community parks, like North Lake Ranch Park on Ranch Trail and Cimarron Park, which is just off Valley Ranch Parkway and home to sports fields, a jogging trail, a recreation center and an aquatic center.

Shop and eat along MacArthur Boulevard

There are over 100 businesses inside the Valley Ranch development, spanning from medical offices to restaurants. While shops are dotted across the community, the neighborhood’s major retail hub is MacArthur Marketplace on Walton Boulevard. Residents will find almost everything they need here, from grocery stores like Kroger and Sam’s Club to fast-casual restaurants and department stores. North MacArthur Boulevard, located at the heart of Valley Ranch, is home to many of the community’s best restaurants, like Bruno’s Ristorante, an upscale Italian eatery where guests can dine on steak and pasta while overlooking Valley Ranch’s canal system. On the same street, Our Place Indian Cuisine serves classic Indian and halal entrees cooked in a clay tandoor oven, and on hot summer days, locals can go to Kwality Ice Cream for frozen treats, cakes and gourmet ice cream.

The community is also just 10 miles from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. Most locals prefer to drive, but those who rely on public transportation can find Dallas Area Rapid Transit bus stops on North MacArthur Boulevard and Valley Ranch Parkway.
