Is Irving, Texas a Good Place to Live?

Yes — for a lot of households. Irving works if your job or flights point at DFW Airport or Las Colinas, or if you want Valley Ranch on the Coppell / Carrollton edge.

It is a weaker fit if you treat Irving as one neighborhood. South Irving, Las Colinas, and Valley Ranch do not share a price or a school district. Most of the city is Irving ISD. Northwest streets can be Coppell ISD or Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD. We verify the address.
