I moved to Irving earlier this year. It was first time moving out on my own and Irving has been very welcoming. I have a decent sized apartment for a reasonable price. The people are incredibly friendly. It was easy finding a job at a car dealership because there are so many. So in all those ways, this is a great place to live. It’s very diverse and it would help if you spoke Spanish, since the majority of the people here are Hispanic. There is also a huge Muslim Population. I live close to the Islamic Center of Irving. One of my major issues living here is the fact that I don't speak Spanish. My parents live in Glenn Heights (which is near Red Oak) and they really love it. My little sister has special needs and the schools have been very accommodating. Waxahachie is also a nice place to live. We lived there before my parents moved to Glenn Heights. The local kids all think it’s cool to say that they hate it, but there are book stores, antique shops, plenty of grocery stores and some good options for high schools. I graduated from Cornerstone Christian Academy, but there is also Waxahachie High and Global High. There are tons of parks, a new movie theatre, and lots of places to eat. Although it’s a bit of a drive to get to Dallas (about 45 minutes) I’d still say it’s worth looking in to.
