Colleyville

• Suburb of Fort Worth, TX
• 42 reviews

Current Resident: One of the safest places to live. Tucked away in the crazy DFW metroplex is the peaceful little abode many call home. Wonderful people, great service at the grocery store (Mkt Street), and gorgeous trees and homes. Great place for raising a family. Even the "busy" roads, like Glade & Colleyville Blvd can be quiet at times. In general, just a wonderful place to live!

Mansfield

• Suburb of Fort Worth, TX
• 305 reviews

Current Resident: Mansfield is a growing suburb outside of Dallas. The town has really grown in the past 10 years that I have been here. Mansfield was rated #17 of the most safest and comfortable cities in the nation in 2015. In my experience of living in Mansfield, I have felt very comfortable. I can walk anywhere I want to without having any worries. The public school system is really reliable and focused on academics and success. We have a very diverse community that understands each others' differences. We have many shopping centers and stores that are being built around us to supply our needs. The only downside is that the living spaces are quite expensive and not very affordable. Otherwise, I believe my town is amazing!

Bedford

• Suburb of Fort Worth, TX
• 156 reviews

Current Resident: I enjoy Bedford! It's a very calm and normal suburb but it's near so many different towns and places like Fort Worth and Dallas and Southlake etc... The district Bedford is included in (HEB ISD) is home to one of the top 25 bands in the nation, the LD Bell Highschool marching band. I like Bedford because of its location to go to other places, it's homey feeling, and its nice calming community.

Euless

• Suburb of Dallas, TX
• 183 reviews

Current Resident: Amazing area, extremely pet friendly. Easy to find affordable,quality homes and apartments. Euless has a lot of things for adults and children to do for fun. The city keeps this area clean and well groomed. If you are looking for a nice place to raise your family or you're a single looking for some place to call home;Euless is the place for you. I love how Euless is centrally located, its only 10-15 minutes from Dallas,Fort Worth, Grand Prairie and Lewisville. Its like living in the city without all the city traffic. I absolutely love Euless, and so will you!

Dalworthington Gardens

• Suburb of Fort Worth, TX
• 4 reviews

Current Resident: Nice, quiet little town. Don't know much about the schooling as I go to school in Arlington but I do know that Dalworthington Gardens is a nice town. While there isn't too much to do there, there is a nice park and it is a short commute to Arlington as Arlington surrounds it and since Arlington is in the middle of the metroplex, it is a convenient place to live. The downside is there is very little diversity, at least in my neighborhood; nearly all white people.

North Richland Hills

Current Resident: North Richland Hills Texas is in a great location in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. It is set just outside of Downtown Fort Worth with easy access to all the major highways and rail system. The housing is a mix of middle class and upper middle class homes. The school district has expanded within the last few years along with the booming housing market.

Hurst is very family friendly and offers many fun family activities at the many parks and the Hurst Recreational Center. Anyone looking to find a good suburb in the DFW area should greatly consider one of the many beautiful Hurst neighborhoods!

Arlington

• City in Texas
• 896 reviews

Current Resident: Overall it is a good place with amazing outdoors opportunities (Six Flags, various parks and recreational centers) and very good job market. Very affordable place also, especially real estate. Job opportunities are good also.
On a flip side, beware of poor public schools rating: the good ones are located in South Arlington, close to Mansfield and Pantego. North side has the worst rating.
Crime rate is a concern as well.
We will soon be moving either to South Arlington or outside this city.
Hopefully my review helps to make the right chose for those who read it.
Thanks!

Benbrook

• Suburb of Fort Worth, TX
• 40 reviews

Current Resident: I love the small town feel in a big city. Benbrook is located Southwest of Downtown Fort Worth. It is a safe city with great rated schools. It is conveniently located off of the I 20 freeway and easily accessible from the new Chisholm Trail Parkway. It has a well maintained lake where camping and boating are available. For enjoyment, exercise, or to commute, Benbrook offers opportunities to walk, jog, rollerblade, or bike along easy-to-access roadways or along several miles of scenic hike & bike trails. Plenty of beautiful parks and golf courses can be found for any outdoor enthusiasts.

Haslet

• Suburb of Fort Worth, TX
• 20 reviews

Former Resident: I lived in Haslet from birth until I turned 18 and went to college. It has grown a bit since then, but is still a pretty small town. While I was growing up I felt like my family knew at least 90% of the rest of the town. Many of my relatives lived there and my mom worked in the local salon, so my brother and I couldn't get away with anything! I enjoyed living on land and riding my bike all around town and dropping in unexpectedly on our neighbors any time I felt like it, as they did with us. We were always greeted by name in the few businesses in town, which was nice.

Westworth Village

Current Resident: The Village is a quiet yet busy family friendly neighborhood. I Love the new streets and sidewalks. The police officers often patrol to keep us safe! The falls is soooooo pretty. Great route in the Trinity. I would like a community center and for the Fire department to come back.

Fort Worth

• City in Texas
• 2,134 reviews

Current Resident: Overall I love this area. There is minor issues, road conditions and an overwhelming need for help for the homeless. With that said Fort Worth feels like home. There's so much around town to do, explore. It's only a short drive to other towns as well where the exploration continues. There's a lot of history here and a great sense of community. Along with the support of troops with the reserve base in town! You can also find a lot of culture here in Fort Worth. From the food to social activities, where all are welcomed!

Edgecliff Village

• Suburb of Fort Worth, TX
• 1 review

Current Resident: It is a very homely neighborhood with a 60’s aura. A silent understanding between most neighbors to look out for each other. In the last 10 years that I have lived there, I have never had an issue with anyone or anything. The neighbors are friendly, and some have even lived there their whole life. New families that come in are welcomed with open arms and tend to fit right in. There is also a neighborhood safety group that is always available for our needs and emergencies. It is also a visually pleasing neighborhood; lawn care and holiday decorations are always done beautifully.

Kennedale

• Suburb of Fort Worth, TX
• 19 reviews

Current Resident: Growing up in Kennedale Texas with my little sister was fun and filled with lots of excitement! My sister and I are 18 months apart, but we act as if we're best friends. We both played basketball throughout our school years and traveled often once we hit high school. With majority of the funds and tax paying dollars going towards the football team, it made it hard to make sure we as the girls basketball team had transportation and supplies for road trips. I would love for Kennedale to use the funds wisely and divide them up amongst the different sports and or even the other electives so all groups are supported and equipped.

Haltom City

• Suburb of Fort Worth, TX
• 84 reviews

Current Resident: Walking down streets to use the local water park during hot summer days or enjoying movie nights planned by the local library there is truly a place for everyone. The area is safe, seen by the children running down streets and neighbors leaving their valuables in the front yard. The community is diverse with churches having service in Spanish and Vietnamese. There are also many local shops to fill your stomach when you’re up for a snack. Haltom City is truly a place that will make you feel included in the community and able to enjoy it will all of your family.
