What Buyers Should Know
Arlington sits between Dallas and Fort Worth in central Tarrant County (population ~396,000) and is the largest mid-cities municipality in DFW. AT&T Stadium (Cowboys), Globe Life Field (Rangers), Six Flags Over Texas, and the University of Texas at Arlington anchor the urban core. Arlington ISD serves the city. Most Arlington buyers route through state-level TSAHC, TDHCA, and MCC programs. The City of Fort Worth HAP applies only inside FW city limits and does not cover Arlington — Arlington does not have its own city DPA program at this time. See Tarrant County guide for full county context.
