The city’s feel is suburban-urban blend—tree-lined neighborhoods, sports venues, and industrial parks within a few miles of each other. Housing includes mid-century brick homes, modern townhomes near entertainment districts, and family subdivisions toward Mansfield and Grand Prairie. Typical homes sell $250,000–$380,000, while newer or larger builds edge past $500,000.
