I think you will be stunned, too.
I’m the parent of two young kids. The primary reason my family stayed in Arlington when we sold our house a few years ago was because we thought it was a great place to raise our kids.
When I chat with other young families, they tell me that’s a big reason they moved to Arlington as well.
Here’s some news from a recent study that has a drastically different view of Arlington when it comes to places to live for young families.
Arlington ranks #98 in the state in NerdWallet.com’s study on the best cities in Texas for young families. 111 cities, towns and census-designated places with a population of over 25,000 residents were included in the study.
The NerdWallet.com study was based on the following factors:
- Public school excellence
- Home affordability
- Growth and prosperity
In case you’re curious, here are the top 1o ranking cities on the list:
- Frisco
- Friendswood
- Allen
- Burleson
- Mansfield
- Sugar Land
