Valley View offers a suburban feel in the Rodeo Capital of Texas

From cowboys with lassos to shopping sprees and Friday Night Lights, Valley View offers a taste of small-town living on the outskirts of Downtown Dallas. The neighborhood is home to the Mesquite Championship Rodeo, an iconic institution that's been in operation for more than 60 years. Its widespread popularity has earned Mesquite the designation of Rodeo Capital of Texas. Throughout the rodeo's history, hundreds of thousands of people have attended, including Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. But there's more to Valley View than bull-riding at the arena. According to Alicia Trevino, Broker with eXp Realty, there's always something going on in Mesquite, like attending Friday playoffs at Texas's largest high school football stadium. The area also offers a range of local and chain restaurants, a well-known mall, a strong school district and a short drive to the expansive Lake Ray Hubbard.

Larger yards reveal ranch style homes in Valley View

New development is taking over the area, mainly concentrated in the northeast corner of Valley View. Housing inventory is primarily comprised of townhomes with warm-toned brick facades and oversized, two-car garages. While uncommon, established one-story homes listed on the market are often recently renovated and provide larger yards than their condo counterparts. Trevino says the city of Mesquite has a wide range of housing costs. In Valley View, homes range from $215,000 to $500,000, depending on the property's square footage and age.

Mesquite ISD is well known for its excellent music and athletic programs

Mesquite Independent School District is the city's largest employer and is ranked the 10th-best school district in Dallas by Niche. "Mesquite's been recognized as one of the Best Communities for Music Education by the NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) Foundation for over a decade," says Brenda Gonzalez, of the Mesquite ISD Communications Office. "Only 4 percent of districts across the nation receive this award." Gonzalez adds that Mesquite's district-wide Mariachi Ensemble first performed in the greater Mesquite ISD community in 2023. Students in Valley View attend either Seabourn Elementary School or Galloway Elementary School, which share a B score from Niche. Both schools feed into Lanny Frasier Middle and West Mesquite High Schools, earning a B-minus and a B, respectively. The high school was built in 1976 on land that was once part of the rodeo. The school property is also home to the Mesquite Tower, which broadcasts the district's radio station, KEOM. Just north of the high school is Memorial Stadium. Also built in 1976, it's the state's largest high school football stadium, with a capacity of 19,400 spectators. The stadium was renovated in 2015 to add parking and loading zones, increase the concourse size and expand concessions facilities. It hosts football games for all five Mesquite ISD high schools, marching band competitions and neutral-site high school football playoff games. The Mesquite ISD Natatorium is a newly upgraded aquatic center that opened in the Spring of 2024. It features a transparent roof that can be closed or opened depending on weather conditions.

It is also the site of the Brunhilde Nystrom City Lake Aquatic Center, which features a swimming pool, water slide and wading area. For a day of boating and fishing, the expansive Lake Ray Hubbard is a little over 10 miles northeast.

Classic Mesquite BBQ and the new Front Street Station

Valley View is at the southern end of 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 the popular regional chain Griff's Hamburgers. Barbecue, Tex-Mex spots and chain restaurants comprise most of the area's food scene. Still, several local eats can be found along East Davis Street. Notable options include family-owned restaurants, such as Yia Yia's House of Gyros Mesquite and Mesquite BBQ. Most locals visit the downtown area for Front Street Station, a newly installed gathering space that hosts live entertainment and the Mesquite Farmers Market. The event is held every Saturday from June through August, and local farmers and vendors showcase their best produce and homemade goods. Additional shopping can be found at Town East Mall, 5 miles north. The mall is a key player in North Texas' retail scene and offers over 160 department stores, including Target, Dillard's and Macy's.

Mesquite is the Rodeo Capital of Texas for a reason

The Mesquite Arena is a 7,000-seat facility that hosts concerts, festivals, monster trucks and the Mesquite Outlaws soccer team, in addition to hosting the rodeo. The Mesquite Convention Center is next door, offering more than 50,000 square feet of floor space to host a convention, trade show or conference. Neighboring Dallas hosts several large-scale events throughout the year, including the State Fair of Texas, the North Texas Irish Festival — one of the largest Irish festivals in the country — and the Greek Food Festival of Dallas.
