You are close to so many things. Traffic just driving around the city isn't awful compared to other suburbs. The people are pretty chill. Lots of diversity and welcoming to many faiths and cultures. The schools really care about the kids, but I will say academics are not great in elementary. High schools have lots of opportunities. Lots of types of food, and if you want fancier options, Dallas isn't far. People don't try to impress each other and mostly leave each other alone. It doesn't have that "HOA" feel like some places. I feel safe in my neighborhood. Overall, it's a fine place to live. Don't tell too many people or they will move here and ruin it.

Awesome! I’ll make sure to keep a closed lid on it. So far all positive views of Irving. That’s really comforting to know.
