ARLINGTON 

Arlington is a dynamic and diverse community in the heart of the Fort Worth/Dallas Metroplex. It is large enough to be home to Major League Baseball's, Texas Rangers and General Motors yet retains its small town feel in most all areas, some of which has farm and ranch land still in use
For many years, Arlington grew as a suburb of both Dallas and Fort Worth due to its central location between the big cities and the educational opportunities at UTA. Along with this a developing business economy of its own, affordable land and hometown feel, made many feel that Arlington was the perfect suburban community, and it still is. However, make no mistake, with its progressive development and its close proximity to DFW International Airport, Arlington has grown into a major city itself and with suburbs to call its own.
In Arlington one will find every opportunity that can be found to live the American Dream. Employment options and progressive economic development abound. A strong and diversified economy from technology, tourism, aviation, medical, manufacturing, construction, service and retail industries is served by corporations as well as thousands of small business owners. We have a well-managed local government that is fair, easy to work with and makes every effort to work with residents and business alike.
Quality of lifestyle is abundant and available to all. Plentiful land, beautiful neighborhoods, low taxes, gorgeous parks, excellent schools, and quality medical facilities are all assets of our community. Our warm summers and mild winters make life comfortable and allow for year round enjoyment of any outdoor activity.
Entertainment of all kind can be found either in Arlington or nearby Fort Worth and Dallas. There is plentiful and diverse dining, world-renowned arts facilities including museums of all types, music, orchestra, opera, dance, and theatre. There are world-class zoos. Every professional sport league calls the DFW Metroplex home, along with motor sports, rodeo, and regular tour stops for golf and tennis.
For the weekend warriors, if you play it, we have it. Amateur sports leagues for all abound, year round. Nearby boating, fishing and hunting opportunities will satisfy even the most seasoned of outdoor enthusiasts.
As you can see, Arlington has a lot to offer everyone. If you could combine the greatest things about America, you would end up with Arlington, Texas. Twenty-first century vision combined with the sense of community found in a Norman Rockwell painting is what makes Arlington such a special place.
