Corridors, build era, and taxing boundaries shape what you can buy in Arlington and what it costs to hold.
Arlington fills the gap between Fort Worth and Dallas, bounded by I-30 on the north, I-20 on the south and SH 360 on the east. Its entertainment district holds AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field and Six Flags Over Texas, General Motors has assembled vehicles at its Arlington plant for decades, and UT Arlington sits just south of downtown. Most housing dates from the 1960s through the 1990s, with newer master-planned sections near Lake Arlington and the Trinity River bottoms. Arlington ISD covers most addresses, with Mansfield ISD and Kennedale ISD taking southern edges.
Arlington sits in Tarrant County, where the combined property tax rate runs about 2.06 percent of market value for the 2025 tax year, ranging 1.85 to 2.40 percent depending on the school district. On a $350,000 home with a homestead exemption that works out to roughly $480 a month. The Texas homestead exemption reduces only the school district portion, not the county or city portion, which is the detail most online estimates miss.
Taxes and insurance are a large share of a monthly payment in Texas, so a national mortgage estimate will understate what a Arlington home actually costs to hold.
