I love the parks in Irving. There are many of them, and a few are very spacious. I really appreciate this, because there are not many tall trees in Irving. It seems a bit barren all year. The south library is wonderful. I really love Heritage Park being right there with all the ducks and features in the park. There are a lot of opportunities for events the library offers for free, such as education for gardening, arts and crafts, and children's activities.
The main thing I do not like about Irving is how littered it is! It really breaks my heart. I see people just leave bottles of their drinks on the ground. I've seen people throw trash in bodies of water. It really breaks my heart, because it's terrible for the environment. It's also not as enjoyable to be around. I wish there was more awareness about this to keep our environment clean. Irving is also dangerous at times. It isn't terrible, but there is a lot of dangerous driving and shooting guns to show off.

We've been in Irving for 5 years and love it. We're 15 minutes from DFW and Love Field so travel is a snap. It's only about 15 minutes to downtown Dallas. We can take the TRE into Dallas or Fort Worth. There's a plethora of restaurants. Grocery stores are plentiful. We're also very close to two Amazon warehouses so sometimes we'll order something and get it within hours. South Irving has an undeserved bad reputation. We bought an affordable house in a leafy area of older homes and it's been the best decision we've ever made. Our home sits on a quarter acre and we're able to have a huge garden. Our neighbors are diverse, kind and look out for one another. We plan to retire here, we love it so much!
It's central location is it's best feature. It feels safer than other neighborhoods and there are alot of parks and trails. Some small neighborhoods are quieter and safer than others(Las Colinas, University Hills) which is something to look out for when house hunting. I moved here from South Florida and the I appreciated the diversity in North Irving right away. I didn't know much about the area, just that it was close to my job. But there are lots of restaurants, a convention center, dart (train) stops that'll take u directly to DFW terminal A. I mean, there are alot of pluses in Irving. Home prices are rising and I hope to afford to purchase in the same area I rent now.
