1. Real Estate Market Overview 2007
Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington
Dallas was settled in 1841 as a frontier trading post and today is the eighth largest city in the United
States. The Dallas MSA is also the second largest in Texas, with more than three million people living
in the area. High-tech companies, manufacturing and service industries have contributed to growth in
Dallas, considered the financial hub of the Southwest. The Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport,
which encompasses more than 18,000 acres, is the nation's third busiest and a major economic engine
for the region.
Fort Worth, known as the city quot;Where the West Begins,quot; still embraces its cowboy heritage. However,
with successful downtown revitalization projects like Sundance Square, Fort Worth has transformed
itself over the years into a cosmopolitan and cultural center. Bass Performance Hall, one of the area's
major cultural attractions, was recently named quot;one of the top 10 opera houses in the worldquot; by Travel
and Leisure magazine.
Arlington, home to Six Flags Over Texas, Hurricane Harbor and The Ballpark at Arlington, is known as
one of Texas' quot;most entertainingquot; cities.
