Is SW Arlington Texas a nice place to live? Is it a safe area?

Question

What is the best area of Arlington? Also, are Kennedale schools good?

Answer 1

Kennedale is not a very good place to live and the closer you get to Six Flags and the stadium the better area you will live in, otherwise yes it is a good area to live in.

Answer 2

There are nice areas in SW Arlington, but there are rubbish areas as well.  I grew up in north Arlington and lots of family and friends still live there.  

The thing about Arlington is, some idiots in the city council/city planning offices did some HIDEOUS zoning.  

I would say the average property in Arlington is a 3-4 bedroom, brick, 2-3 bathroom, 2 car garage family home.  Most of the houses are pretty nice and safe.

The problem is, they built a TON of apartments everywhere in Arlington and that brought in the dregs.  Arlington schools are full of trash and many middle class people prefer to send their kids to private schools now.  Overall it's still pretty nice, but it's on the way down.

If you're looking to move to a nice, stable, safe, family type area I'd check out North Richland Hills, Keller etc.
