I love that the city is constantly growing! There is always something new being built. The city is extremely safe, and the police station is conveniently located near the majority of the newer, attractive parts of the city. The city is covered in favorites like IKEA and Raising Cane's, but it also maintains its 'homey' feel with local dine-in restaurants including Ton's Mongolian Grill and Jake's Burgers! You can never miss in Grand Prairie, whether you want to have a fun time at Main Event , or wind down and play some nice Pickle Ball and Chicken N' Pickle.
There are multiple layers to Grand Prairie. There are some beautiful areas next to the lake and also some well-lived areas that have history and a different flare of character. The thing that I love most about Grand Prairie is the melting pot of cultures. Just on my small street, there are families from at least 7 different countries/ethnic backgrounds. We love learning from each other and spending time together! The least desirable part about Grand Prairie is sometimes the crime.
Grand Prairie is a great place to live and I recommend it to many people. The affordability and landscape here beats any area in Dallas.
I really wish Grand Prairie had a better waste management program. We are required to set trash bags on the curb. Sometimes animals tear up the trash or people don't contain their trash well and it flies everywhere. Grand Prairie prides itself on its cleanliness, but this is not a feature I have experienced in this city.
I also wish their was a better selection for healthy foods here. It is hard to find organic options and many times the produce selections at stores is poor quality. The people of Grand Prairie deserve better.
