Why you'd want to live in Arlington

America’s team. America’s pastime. American-made automobiles. Arlington is the American Dream City. Named by Money magazine as the “Best Big City” in the South. Named by Dallas Business Journal as the No. 1 City for Economic Development in North Texas. Arlington is home to the Dallas Cowboys, the Texas Rangers, General Motors, D.R. Horton, Six Flags Over Texas and a host of global, domestic, and family-owned businesses. And the American pride in our culturally-diverse citizens is undeniable. Our Competitive can-do spirit makes dreams a reality. When tasked with making Arlington home of General Motors' Assembly, the city built a lake to properly expand its water source. In the ‘70s, the city fought hard to make Arlington home of the Texas Rangers. Voters stepped up three times when asked for major bond packages to keep and lure its sports franchises in and to Arlington and in the process built world-class, iconic venues. Beyond what is highly visible in Arlington, is the backbone of the city, which is education. Here, students can go from pre-K to Ph.D. With the help of an excellent school system, Tarrant County College, and the University of Texas at Arlington. Arlington’s educational institutions possess valued work opportunities and economic vitality. It maintains diverse neighborhoods where the housing dollar stretches further than most cities. via arlingtontx.com
