Pecan Bend
Ranch-style homes with flowering bushes line Pecan Bend’s streets
Though there are a few Colonial-style homes, brick ranch styles with rear-entry garages dominate the landscape. They settle along winding streets with sidewalks, on modest lawns with flowering bushes, trimmed hedges and mature trees. Most home prices fall between the upper end of $200,000 and the low $300,000s. "It is one of the more affordable areas to be in Mesquite," says Realtor Kristine Edens with JPAR Realty. "Many people have lived there for so long they have really good interest rates and don't want to move. Once interest rates lower, you might see that change." Though Pecan Bend doesn't have any new homes, many of its older homes are being remodeled from the inside out. The CAP index does reflect higher rates of Motor Vehicle Theft in Pecan Bend than national averages.Shopping at Town East Mall
There's a Walmart Supercenter 4 miles east off I-80 for groceries. Locals can find popular chains like Sephora and H&M between The Marketplace at Towne Centre and Town East Mall, both 2 miles north. Downtown Mesquite is just under 4 miles southeast, with Bear Cave Coffee, Dos Panchas, Mesquite Barbeque and more for dining. Corner Theatre provides a venue for community worship services, poetry readings, and live music - all driven by local talent. Aside from being able to walk or bike to the nearby greenbelt, most locals hop in their cars to get around as there's no public bus option. Dallas Love Field is 15 miles northwest along I-30 when they want to fly.Paving the way for an extended bike trail along South Parkway
Westover Park is connected to DeBusk Park by the paved Westover Park Greenbelt Trail. DeBusk Park features a baseball field, disc golf course and two playgrounds, including the ADA accessible KidsQuest playground. Westover Park has a picnic shelter and another playground available to residents. Ward says the city built a bike path along South Parkway, which runs parallel between Pecan Bend and Westover Park; they're also currently extending it. "They are doing construction right now. I just bought a bike for Christmas, so I'm excited about that." There's an AMC dine-in theatre less than a mile from KidsQuest for movie nights.Rugel Elementary School is local to the neighborhood
Students in the neighborhood will be in the Mesquite Independent School District. Rugel Elementary School is the only school in the neighborhood. It feeds into Lanny Frasier Middle and West Mesquite High School. The elementary and middle both score B minuses from Niche while the high school earns a B rating. Rugel is named after Joseph Columbus Rugel, a former teacher, legislator and hardware merchant from Mesquite. Memorial Stadium hosts high school football games; it's the largest football stadium in Texas, holding nearly 20,000 people.Mesquite Fire Station is less than a mile away
Ward says his house gets lots of trick-or-treaters on Halloween, but the neighborhood doesn't organize any specific community events. He appreciates raising his own daughter here for a few reasons. "People don't speed down the roads when they are in the neighborhood," he shares. He also enjoys that there's an elementary school in the neighborhood. Mesquite Fire Station is less than a mile from the neighborhood on Forney Road, adding a layer of safety. Baylor Scott & White Medical Center is 6 miles east on Collins Road for emergencies. Flooding risk is moderate in Mesquite; the last major flood was in 2022.
