Arlington sits squarely between Dallas and Fort Worth, and it holds the metro's entertainment district: AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, Six Flags Over Texas, and Hurricane Harbor, all within a couple of miles of each other. Game days and concert nights are part of the city's rhythm.
It is also a university city. UT Arlington brings tens of thousands of students to the center of town, and the General Motors assembly plant has anchored the south side's employment base for decades.
Housing runs from established mid-century neighborhoods across north and central Arlington to newer construction in the south toward Mansfield. Because the city sits in the geographic middle of the metro, commutes can point either direction, and that math changes what any given location is worth to you.
