Local businesses and events thrive in renovated Downtown Mesquite
Downtown Mesquite is a mini-Main Street USA, all dolled up with brightly painted murals and recent renovations. The city was considered a small farming hub until the Texas and Pacific Railway arrived in 1873. What was once a rough parking lot along these same train tracks is now Front Street Station, the newest community gathering space. With revitalization happening in Downtown's commercial area, the city hopes to draw residents to local businesses and events. "Downtown Mesquite is actually being renovated at this moment," says Alicia Trevino, a Broker with eXp Realty. "It'll have more restaurants and have a park-like setting where there will be concerts." Though the city has changed, traditions like the Mesquite Championship Rodeo and its title as the Rodeo Capital of Texas remain.
Downtown Mesquite has a rich history that residents and visitors alike love to hear about.

Ranch-style homes in northern Downtown Mesquite have attractive prices
Most homes are on the neighborhood's northern end, where Main Street gives way to tree-lined residential streets. Contemporary ranch-style homes, often with brick exteriors and wide driveways, are typical in Downtown Mesquite. Trevino says many of the homes were built in the 1950s and 1980s. The prices of homes in the area are a big draw for homebuyers. Most of these one-story properties offer three to four bedrooms and a price range of $210,000 to $325,000. Several New Traditional and split-level homes with brick facades and larger lots also dot the area. These 2,500-to-3,500-square-foot residences are priced between $360,000 and $550,000. There are clusters of two-bedroom condos along Kearney Street and close to Broadmoor Plaza, often costing between $130,000 and $160,000.

Schools are one of the area's largest employers and score B grades from Niche
Mesquite Independent School District is one of the area's largest employers. It is ranked as the 10th-best school district in the Dallas area. Families appreciate its low student-to-teacher ratio, renovated facilities, massive stadiums and award-winning extracurriculars. Brenda Gonzalez, an employee with the communications office for Mesquite ISD, says the district has a prominent fine arts program, which has been recognized by the NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) Foundation as one of the Best Communities for Music Education. She says only 4 percent of districts nationwide receive this award. Mesquite has created a district-wide Mariachi Ensemble, which hosted its debut performance in 2023. Students in Downtown Mesquite can attend Tisinger Elementary School or Hanby Elementary School. The schools are graded B-minus and B by Niche, respectively. Both feed into Wilkinson Middle School, which also earns a B-minus. Mesquite High School, graded a B, is right across Bryan-Belt Line Road from the neighborhood. The high school is on the site of the original Mesquite ISD building, built in 1902. Memorial Stadium, Texas's largest high school football stadium, can get crowded for football games, so traffic can be expected every Friday. "The City of Mesquite partnered with Dallas Eastfield Campus to upgrade the Mesquite ISD Natatorium," Gonzalez says. "It's now an indoor pool for practices and meets, but it's also open to residents." The facility, which opened in the Spring of 2024, features a transparent roof that can be closed or opened, depending on the weather.

Mesquite offers diverse outdoor recreation and sports facilities
Mesquite is considered a Playful City USA and offers a wide range of outdoor recreation. There are several parks within the neighborhood, like Hillcrest and Westlake Parks. Westlake is popular for sports, with six outdoor lighted tennis courts and three additional covered courts. The park also has an eight-lane archery range where shooting distances vary from 10 to 100 feet. City Lake Park is the most visited, and Trevino says it's a great place to go for a jog or take a leisurely walk. The park has a large pond in the middle of its walking trail and a baseball field. City Lake Park is also home to the Brunhilde Nystrom City Lake Aquatic Center, which has a swimming pool, water slide and wading area with playgrounds for children. Samuell Farm's wooded park offers a walking trail, a playground, a volleyball court and shaded picnic areas. Fishing and boating are popular pastimes at Lake Ray Hubbard, a little over 10 miles northeast.

Shopping and Dining
Front Street Station – once a sparse, unlined parking lot near Main Street – is now a gathering space for live entertainment and new restaurants. This $5.5 million project opened in May 2021 to much excitement. It included new infrastructure to support more restaurants, façade improvements to the existing buildings, a performance pavilion and an area for events and vendor booths. Front Street Station hosts the Downtown Mesquite Farmers Market every Saturday from April through November, allowing residents to interact with local growers and producers while supporting local businesses. Mainly barbecue and Tex-Mex restaurants dot the commercial area. A notable mention is Mesquite BBQ on East Davis Street. The family-owned restaurant has been in operation since 1959, making it the oldest restaurant in the city. One of its notable menu items is a loaded baked potato topped with tender brisket. Locals can also visit Restaurant Row, a portion of I-635 with dozens of restaurants dotting the sides of the highway. Military Parkway towards the highway has ample fast-food options, including popular regional chain Griff's Hamburgers, a no-frills place to grab old-fashioned burgers and crispy onion rings. Target and Sprouts are located at Town East Mall, 3 miles north. The mall is a key player in the North Texas retail scene and offers over 160 department stores, including Dillard's and Macy's.

Concerts, rodeos, and other community events
Front Street Station also hosts the Off the Rails concert series during the summer. The series brings the surrounding Mesquite community together for a night of music and fun right in the heart of Downtown. The Mesquite Championship Rodeo draws crowds to the Mesquite Arena every Saturday from June through August. The 7,000-seat venue also hosts concerts, monster truck rallies and Mesquite Outlaws soccer games. Next to the area is a 50,000-square-foot convention center that hosts large-scale events like trade shows and conferences. Family weekends can be spent watching the latest blockbuster at AMC DINE-IN Mesquite 30 or enjoying classic arcade games at Celebration Station. Nearby, Dallas hosts events throughout the year, including the State Fair of Texas, the North Texas Irish Festival – one of the country's largest Irish festivals – and the Greek Food Festival of Dallas.

STAR Transit connects mesquite to Dallas and nearby amenities
STAR Transit is the area's primary public transportation to Dallas, including Town East Mall, Eastfield College and nearby medical facilities such as Dallas Regional Galloway Medical Center. With multiple highways nearby, Trevino says the area's accessibility is one of the major selling points. Main throughways include State Highway 80 and Interstates 635, 30, 20 and 352. Downtown Mesquite is 14 miles east of downtown Dallas' multicultural events and colorful nightlife, accessible via I-30 West or Military Parkway. It is also 12 miles south of Garland and the waterfront communities around Lake Ray Hubbard. Mesquite Metro Airport is 3 miles down Scyene Road. However, most residents take commercial flights at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, 36 miles away.
