I am happy of living in Cedar Hill, Texas. What I like about Cedar Hill is the nature that surrounds the community such as the trails, parks, and other places. There is also shopping centers of every kind nearby I literally don't have to drive 5 or more miles to any store. I have been living in this area for 3 years and is growing! New apartment/ condos are been built, 67 highway is progressing to reduce congestion. I consider my area safe and very quiet, police officers are constantly driving around Cedar hill, Texas so that is one thing that makes me feel secure and safe. Cedar Hill is not a Night life area and that's what makes unique and comfortable for residents. Many people I know find that boring. But personally I think that was reduces crime and the numbers of fatality especially at night. Just imagine if Cedar Hill was to have popular bars or nightclubs? It will be terrible for the city of Cedar Hill to be in that situation.
Cedar hill is rough especially the side where the high school is last year kids brought drugs and weapons to school. If your kid don’t attend the middle and high school just be mindful those kids stay in the neighborhoods. I lived there 15 years went to high school there my niece attended the school and got jumped by two students. Be careful of scammers when paying mortgage payments and rent these companies can will tell you where to make payments and then pocket your money and treat you like you never paid anything . Avoid houses around or close to the middle school and high school.
It is quite a nice neighborhood. Located about 30 minutes southwest of downtown Dallas. Been here for about 21 years now and never had any issues with neighbors or the neighborhood. It is a great area to raise a family. Since I have been here for a while, I noticed that more people are moving to this area. As well I have seen economic growth, as in a few Wal-Mart's has been added as well as an outside mall. This was not here when I moved to the area back in August of 2001. So yes I would recommend this area to anyone and my overall experience with Cedar Hill has been a great one. :)
