Arlington Is DFW's Best Kept Secret

Here is the thing about Arlington that most people outside of DFW don't realize: it is the seventh largest city in Texas, it sits right in the middle of Dallas and Fort Worth, and you can buy a really nice home here for about $310K. Try doing that in Frisco or Plano.

Arlington has the Entertainment District with AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field, a major university in UT Arlington, and neighborhoods with real character that have been here for decades. It is not the flashiest city in DFW. It is the one where regular people can actually afford to buy a home and build a life. And if you already own here, your equity has grown more than you probably think.

Arlington Neighborhoods Worth Knowing

Arlington is a big city with a lot of different neighborhoods. Here is a look at the areas our agents work in most.

Entertainment District

This is where AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, and Six Flags are all within a few minutes of each other. The area around the stadiums has seen a lot of new investment, including restaurants, hotels, and mixed-use developments. Homes nearby are generally affordable and tend to appreciate well because of all the ongoing development. It is a good spot if you like being close to the action.

South Arlington

South Arlington is one of the most popular areas for families. The neighborhoods here are well-established with mature trees and bigger lots. You will find a lot of homes in the $280K-$380K range that have been updated and are move-in ready. It is also closer to Mansfield, so you get a quieter suburban feel without being far from anything.

UT Arlington Area

The area around UT Arlington has been getting a lot of attention in recent years. The university keeps growing, which means more demand for housing. This part of town is great for investors and for people who want to live in a walkable, active neighborhood. Home prices are some of the most affordable in all of DFW, especially for the location you are getting.

North Arlington / Viridian

North Arlington, especially the Viridian community near Lake Arlington, offers newer homes and a master-planned feel. Viridian has trails, a lake club, and solid school access. This area is a bit pricier for Arlington but still well below what you would pay in Southlake or Colleyville, which are just a few miles north. It is a popular choice for people who want newer construction at a reasonable price.

What Arlington Buyers and Sellers Are Saying

"We were renting in Dallas and spending $2,200 a month. Our agent found us a 3-bedroom in South Arlington where the mortgage is $1,600. Same commute time to my office in Irving. We should have done this two years ago."

Marcus J.

Buyer, South Arlington

"I did not think my house was worth much because it is in East Arlington. Turns out values have gone up a lot in the last few years. Sold for $285K, which was $40K more than I paid in 2019. The agent priced it right and we got multiple offers."

Brenda C.

Seller, East Arlington

"I'm a grad student at UTA and wanted to buy instead of renting. My agent found me a small house near campus for $215K. My mortgage is less than what my roommates are paying in rent. It is the best financial decision I have made so far."

Alex T.

Buyer, UTA Area

"We upgraded to a bigger place in Viridian and needed to sell our starter home near the Entertainment District. Agent listed it on a Wednesday and we had a full-price offer by Saturday. Zero drama. The whole thing was easier than I expected."

Rachel and Tom M.

Seller, Entertainment District

Common Questions About Arlington Real Estate

How much is my Arlington home worth right now?

Fill out the form above and we will send you a free report based on recent sales near your exact address.

Why is Arlington more affordable than other DFW cities?

A few reasons. Arlington is a bigger, more established city, so there is more housing inventory. It does not have the "new and shiny" premium that places like Frisco carry. But the location is actually better for a lot of people because you are right between Dallas and Fort Worth. That central location with lower prices makes it one of the best deals in the metroplex.

Arlington is one of the best cities in DFW for first-time buyers. You can find move-in-ready homes under $300K, which is hard to do in a lot of the metroplex.
