Irving may be the most central city in the region: downtown Dallas on one side, DFW Airport on the other, and rail lines to both. Here is what living there looks like.

Las Colinas

Las Colinas covers more than 12,000 acres, with corporate offices, apartments, townhomes, the Irving Convention Center, the Toyota Music Factory, and the famous Mustangs sculpture.

Rail on two lines

DART’s Orange Line serves six Irving stations and continues to DFW Airport. The Trinity Railway Express stops at Downtown Irving/Heritage Crossing and West Irving, linking Dallas and Fort Worth.

Homes

Housing ranges from Las Colinas apartments and townhomes to established single-family neighborhoods and newer homes in the north. Compare homes within the same school district and area.

Schools

Irving ISD, Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD, and Coppell ISD each serve parts of Irving. Confirm the district for every address.
