Downtown Mansfield has easy access to the rest of DFW through Highway 287.
The growing community is located about 20 miles south of the Metroplex.
Affectionally named the Pickle Capital of Texas, Downtown Mansfield has been growing since its beginnings at the crossroads of Main and Broad Streets in the late 1800s. While the pickle moniker is fun and dubbed for being the home of Best Maid, and it's an annual parade and palooza each March to celebrate that fact, it doesn’t tell the whole story. Downtown Mansfield is a growing community with a location just about 20 miles south of Dallas and Fort Worth. While growth has come in all forms, from population to commercial development, things still settle around the two roads that started town. “It is a great place to raise a family,” says Dustin Dangli, the Mansfield Communications and Public Affairs Manager. “We are annually listed among the safest cities in Texas, our park system is accredited, and we have a strong school system. Our old motto was ‘minutes from everywhere, second to none.’ While still true, the growth in Mansfield has made a bedroom community into a place where people want to live and stay.”
While new homes are being built in Downtown Mansfield, the neighborhood charm remains intact.
Diverse architectural selection near historic downtown
The home inventory in downtown Mansfield is older than some of the other places in the city. Featuring well-manicured lawns and the occasional mature tree that provides an ounce of shade, neighborhoods are lined with contemporary brick ranch homes with a handful of mixed-in bungalows. Other architectural styles include Victorian and Craftsman, which adds to the selection for inquiring home buyers. Prices range from $300,000 for a three-bedroom ranch home to around $640,000 for a four-bedroom Craftsman. “We are striving to build neighborhoods here and not subdivisions. We want people to be able to go home, shop at the store on the corner for groceries and work just a little bit down the road,” Dangli says.

Historic Downtown Mansfield
One of the oldest intact downtowns remaining in Texas, the crossroads of Main and Broad Streets continues to be a hot spot for shopping, dining and entertainment since its beginnings in the late 1800s. While some historic buildings remain, they are now occupied by shops and stores. Locals can dine at places like the Flying Squirrel Coffee Shop, enjoy a collection of three restaurants and brewery outside at The Backyard, try a craft and locally brewed beer from Dirty Job Brewing or have a fancy meal at Meehan’s Chophouse, a fine dining establishment. Downtown Mansfield also features many locally owned businesses like the Antique Mall of Mansfield and Western Hippies Sip and Shop. There is almost something for everyone in terms of entertainment, from art galleries like the Lil' Blue Goat, owned by a local artist, to the Farr Best Theater, which opened originally in 1917 and has been restored to host local theater group performances and other shows. While the downtown shops are locally owned, residents can shop for groceries and other household items at national brands such as Lowe’s, Marshall’s, Walmart and Target along US-287.
The Pickle Parade and other local community events
A city tradition since 2012, the World’s Only St. Paddy’s Pickle Parade & Palooza takes over downtown each March around St. Patrick’s Day. The free event is kicked off with the Pickle Parade, which features the Pickle Queens, Pickle Protectors, and, of course, the Pickle Dude, along with other floats and entertainers. Right after the parade, the Pickle Palooza gets underway with a full day of family-friendly events, including live music, a vendor market, a food court and pickle contests. The city also holds numerous other events, including Hometown Holidays, Independence Day celebration, and the Halloween Haunt the Block party that brings families downtown to trick-or-treat at local businesses. A lot of the community events are held at The Lot Downtown, which is a green space with a stage. The venue annually hosts events from fundraisers to a farmers' market.

Downtown Mansfield’s award-winning parks
In October 2023, the Mansfield Parks and Recreation Department was awarded CAPRA accreditation, the only national accreditation for park and recreation agencies. The certification measures the overall quality of the department’s operation, management and administration. Some of the city’s green spaces include Katherine Rose Memorial Park, built on land that was initially a pecan orchard. The paved half-mile walking and biking trail serves as the trailhead for the Walnut Creek Trail, which connects the park to Town Park and James McKnight Park. There is also a pond, sand volleyball courts, basketball courts and horseshoe pits. “Our mayor says you always bump into people from outside of the city in our parks, and that is how they connect to the city,” says Dangli.
Downtown Mansfield is a walkable neighborhood with plenty of amenities.
Walkability downtown and getting around the Metroplex
Downtown Mansfield has over 1,000 parking spaces within a 10-minute walk of downtown. Once residents drive there, they can leave their cars as they walk around the shops and restaurants. Downtown Mansfield is along United States Highway 278, which connects the area to the rest of the Metroplex. Downtown Mansfield is located about 20 miles or so from Arlington, Dallas, and Fort Worth.
