What it’s Like to Live in Arlington, Texas:

Nicknamed “The American Dream City,” Arlington lives up to its reputation by offering a great education system with affordable housing, a strong job market, and more recreational opportunities than you will know what to do with. From the massive and diverse University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) to the more affordable but still high-quality Tarrant County College, there are educational opportunities for everyone. It is number 4 in the “best cities to raise a family,” making it the dream home for so many. Money Magazine also refers to Arlington as the “Best Big City” in the South because, here, you don’t have to sacrifice the urban lifestyle for simple southern living. It is a city that is good for all ages and stages of life!

With Dallas and Fort Worth only 15-20 miles away on each side, Arlington has quick access to other metropolitan areas. Being only a few miles away, DFW Airport gives international access, which only adds to the extensive diversity you will find in Arlington. Not only is it a diverse city, but it is also a young city with over half of the population being under the age of 45.

The entertainment opportunities in Arlington are not sacrificed for its low cost of living. In fact, the city has been named the “entertainment capital of Texas.” It is home to Six Flags Over Texas, a great place to get outside for a little family fun, or you can check out AT&T Stadium to watch the Dallas Cowboys or attend one of its many concerts. If you want to slow down and enjoy a more leisurely activity, you can check out the Arlington Museum of Art or go fishing in Lake Arlington.

Being one of the best places to live in Texas, Arlington will not disappoint. This great city is home to many different types of people and has something to offer everyone!
