Arlington Reviews
Rating 4.01 out of 5 1,117 reviews
I was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas. I moved to Arlington before the start of sixth grade and I've lived here ever since. The City of Arlington is very close to Mansfield and Grandpraire which is really great for Arlington residents. Arlington is known for homing AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Park, and Texas Live. Arlington is a growing city and an excellent place for people looking to settle down and start a family! Arlington receives only four stars because there aren't any fun activities for kids and teens. The city could also do more to engage with the community and foster a positive atmosphere. Even though I live in Arlington I attend school in the Mansfield district, which is really great. Comparing the two districts Arlington needs to step up their game. Overall, The City of Arlington is very affordable and the social life is really great.
Arlington is not where I was born, but it is my home. I enjoy my area in Arlington, the residents are friendly, and the schools offer a lot of opportunities. I believe Arlington is fairly safe; however, I would like to see more road work fixed. It's difficult driving and seeing many potholes, cracked, unleveled, and unproperly lit streets. It makes it difficult for new drivers like me ( we also need the gas prices to go down :) ). I also work in Arlington at Hurricane Harbor; my department is Guest Relations. So I get to meet new people everyday, I find it enjoyable to see the regulars, and learn how people love it here in Arlington, Texas. Overall, I really love this city!
I have lived in Arlington my whole life and have found it to be a very inclusive and diverse environment. The people of Arlington are for the most part extremely nice and helpful. If you are a person of color this is the place to be because the community is very diverse and genuinely accepts people regardless of their gender, sexuality, race, or ethnicity. Additionally, our public school system is particularly impressive with very great elementary schools through high school. If you are considering a lively, fun, inviting and clean environment then Arlington is the place for you!
