Arlington City Reviews
Real experiences from people who call Arlington home.
A City of Entertainment and Opportunity Arlington offers a vibrant mix of entertainment and convenience. For sports fans, it's a dream come true, with the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers calling Arlington home. Six Flags and Hurricane Harbor provide thrills for all ages. Families appreciate the good schools and suburban feel. However, public transportation is limited, so a car is a must. Overall, Arlington is a great choice for those seeking a lively and exciting place to live, with easy access to the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
Arlington is situated within 15 minutes of most other cities within DFW. My daughter loved the nightlife around UTA and there are several fantastic restaurants to visit. When I think about Arlington, several areas come to mind: Southeast, Southwest, North, Northwest, and Sam Houston. Each area has its own vibe and niche neighborhoods, many which are tucked away behind trees...kind of hidden gems. After working for nearly 15 years in education, I know better than place a lot of faith in Star tests. My children are now grown but they did attend Juan Seguin High School and had no issues. As a matter of fact, several of my daughter's past teachers helped to mold her into an amazing writer and editor. The school has seen several changes in leadership over the past decade and I believe the teaching staff at Juan Seguin to now be top-notch.
