I Have Heard Bad Things Said About Arlington (Dallas, Fort Worth: crime, new home)

[Guerilla]

But they generally are not true. Arlington is a great city to live in, just choose where you live. You can go to south Arlington and get a brand new home. Southern Arlington is zones mostly to Mansfield (Mansfield Timberview HS and Mansfield HS). Also, the areas around Martin High School is a good place to live. There are a few new neighborhoods and enclaves going up in this area. Arlington is a big city (land wise and population wise). You just have to be careful where you live. Almost like living in Fort Worth. You wouldn't choose an inner city crime ridden area would you? Rather, you would try southwest Fort Worth which is full of new communities. Anyone will love it in Arlington. We have the Texas Rangers, soon the Dallas Cowboys, Wet 'n Wild, and Six Flags Over Texas. So many people around the Metroplex come here for fun (mainly Six Flags and Wet 'n Wild). Soon they will see the historic Cowboys here. The Parks Mall is also huge and draws a lot of people in this area. I say, if you really want to, or are thinking about living in Arlington, you come down, visit the areas mainly south of I-20 and around Lake Arlington, and look for yourself.
