Anyone here live in Mansfield? We are looking to moving to the area. Work in Duncanville and Midlothian. Would like to know your opinions on schools, raising family, etc there.

It is a booming area.

I lived there for about a decade and then moved to far south Arlington within the Mansfield ISD.

Nice town - still growing, although the school growth has leveled off. Move to where your kids will go to Mansfield, Lake Ridge or Legacy. Summit and Timberview draw most of the south Arlington crowd.

Lots of new restaurants adn stuff to do. they're building a canal!

We moved out of the area about 10 years ago. It is bustling as has been said.

Ended up not pleased with the schools. Had kids in grade school and others who were in line to go, and we figured out they would be in trailers through most of their time there.

Why not Midlothian? I've heard better things about that area.

I'd suggest for you to also consider Midlothian - especially if one of your main considerations is schools. It's growing like everywhere else, but starting to get more retail and food choices.
