Grand Prairie

Send to a friend

…homegrown, independent and progressive


Just south of DFW airport, and a short drive from downtown Dallas and Fort Worth, you'll find Grand Prairie. It's a thriving mini-metroplex in the middle of its own economic upswing, with new housing construction and tons of jobs to be had.

The homegrown vibe and progressive values keep this area attractive to businesses and newcomers looking for a great place to settle down.

While the residents here honor family values and friendly neighbors, they also let loose at Lone Star Park, where thousands of people gather each day to bet on thoroughbred racing—or, if there's no live racing, bet on the simulcast which is broadcast across the country.

On the other end of the leisure spectrum, the Tangle Ridge Golf Club (eighth best in Texas by Golf Digest) and areas surrounding Joe Pool Lake provide places to picnic, frolic and enjoy the bucolic.

Barnett Shale...Cha Ching! But Now What

Barnett Shale may be the largest onshore natural gas field in the United States. While proven to have 2.5 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, it could contain as much as 30 trillion cubic feet! Not until the technological advancement of horizontal drilling though was Barnett Shale able to become a major producer of natural gas. Horizontal drilling allows companies to drill horizontally – this is key because DFW basically sits on top of Barnett Shale. Now drillers can retrieve natural gas that lies beneath neighborhoods. Cha ching!
