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.
I absolutely love living in Cedar Hill, TX! It has a very unique rural / suburban quality that is very difficult to find in the Dallas / Fort Worth area. It’s diversity and commitment to preserving at least 20% of it’s land for green space is commendable. This is why Cedar Hill is called the “city in the park”.
My overall experience with Cedar Hill is a family-friendly environment. I haven't had any issues with crime. It has nice parks to visit and hike. Joe Pool lake is available for swimming, fishing, sailing, cabin rentals, cookouts. The city has easy access to the surrounding cities and local hospitals. The school system needs improvement but they have teachers dedicated to the students' education.
