From the Desk of the City Manager

I would like to welcome you to the City of Duncanville.

Duncanville is seeing changes and growth that has not been experienced in years. Situated just minutes from The Nasher Sculpture Center in downtown Dallas and 20 minutes from Sundance Square in downtown Fort Worth, Duncanville offers the repose of a small town while maintaining vital access to everything that makes DFW what it is today.

With a reputation for excellence in both education and athletics, Duncanville has become very successful in attracting families as well as corporations. In fact, the best testament to Duncanville’s growth resides in our respectable list of diverse projects:

The Shops at Waterview Park

An urban lifestyle center, that broke ground in the fall of 2006, will include more than 100,000 square feet of specialty retail space, an up-scale apartment community and a five-acre public park with hike-bike trails. The Shops at Waterview Park will be accented with a cascading waterway running the length of the development, stone weir features, and lighted fountains that will be visible from U.S. Hwy 67.

In addition, the Shops at Waterview Park will offer retailers access to more than 60,000 vehicles that travel by the Southeast Corner of U.S. Hwy 67 and Main Street every day. Within a ten (10) minute drive of 45,082 households and a population of 128,632 people, The Villages will welcome a variety of new restaurants and retail businesses to Duncanville.

Main Station

Main Station is providing a myriad of services to Duncanville citizens. A 22,000 square foot mixed-use development project, Main Station consists of retail space and loft apartments, offering the ideal location for a variety of businesses including specialty stores and full service restaurants.

All of the retail spaces are leased and other businesses continue to look to Main Street as the place to be. With this in mind, the city is taking the next steps necessary to pursue the Main Street Vision.

The Main Street Vision is a formal plan to transform Main Street from a disconnected chain of businesses into a seamless, integrated socioeconomic epicenter. With anchors either built or under construction along Main Street , from I-20 to Hwy. 67, the vision is beginning to become a reality.

Housing Developments

In Duncanville , you will find friendly neighborhoods, oversized lots and distinctive, quality homes that range from $80,000 to $1,000,000.

With four housing developments in the planning/construction phases, Duncanville will soon offer 300 new homes in the neighborhoods of The Homestead at Big Stone Gap, Greenstone Estates, Meadows and Daniel Farms and Hollywood Park. New, custom homes that range from $450,000 to $1.2 million can also be found in The Estates of Windmill Hill and The Creeks of Windmill Hill just outside of town.

Business Recruitment

To support this growth, the city of Duncanville is committed to recruiting top businesses to provide first-rate services. Pappadeaux’s Seafood Kitchen continues to be a destination spot for the surrounding area, which brings needed tax revenue to our city. Building off of their success, we continue to court additional restaurants to our city.

Hospitality/Convention Center

The Hilton Garden Inn opened in the summer of 2005 and is the anchor for the hotel/meeting center/businesses services center.

Residential/senior living

Champion’s Cove was developed with the young-at-heart, active senior in mind, Champions Cove offers opportunities and choices that other retirement communities do not offer.

Residents can choose from one and two bedrooms and an array of activities in the Artisan Ally, exercise classes in the Fitness Center, card games in the Champions Club Room, movie nights in the Hollywood Theatre, morning coffee with your neighbors in the Coffee Bar, or a stroll around the 9-acres of beautiful landscape that encompass Champions Cove. From the mature native trees surrounding the property to the free-flowing creeks alongside, Champions Cove is truly a lifestyle choice of distinction.

Experience Duncanville. The Perfect Blend of Family, Community and Business.

The minute you walk into a store or business, you will immediately sense the warm, friendly community atmosphere found only in Duncanville. From the local business owner, to the chief of police, to the neighbor next door, Duncanville residents truly care about their community and it shows. Quality families are the cornerstones of this inviting city. Traditional family values permeate the community creating safe and inviting place to start a family and a business.

As City Manager I want to invite you to visit us and see what we have to offer. You'll find that Duncanville is rolling hills, trees and a community where you'll want to work, live and raise your family.
