Southwest DFW
Entertainment hubs, major employers, and diverse neighborhoods stretching from Arlington to Grand Prairie.
About Southwest DFW
Southwest DFW is anchored by Arlington and Grand Prairie, two cities that carry significant weight in entertainment, employment, and housing diversity. Arlington is home to AT&T Stadium (Dallas Cowboys), Globe Life Field (Texas Rangers), Six Flags Over Texas, and the University of Texas at Arlington. It's one of the largest cities in the country without a public transit system, making car ownership essential but also reflecting its suburban character. Grand Prairie sits between Dallas and Fort Worth, offering entertainment at Lone Star Park and Epic Waters, along with a wide range of housing from established neighborhoods to newer developments. Both cities offer strong value for buyers seeking proximity to major employment and entertainment without North DFW price tags.
