Mesquite
By NabewiseWith older homes, an eclectic mix of people, and large plots of green grass here and there, Mesquite is a refreshing break from the flashy life commonly found in the Dallas suburbs: no gated communities or upscale shopping centers here! Instead, Mesquite offers a nice selection of chain restaurants and shops. With numerous highways running through this nabe, Mesquite is also home to Eastfield Community College and Texas A&M; University-Commerce. Filled with hospitable residents living in modest homes, Mesquite has a similar vibe to Garland.

When I think of Mesquite, the first thing that pops in my head is their Texas accents. Even though its about a 30 minute drive from Dallas, the feel is totally different. And so are the people. I picture a Mesquite girl with chunky blond highlights in their teased hair and big jewelry. Then a Mesquite guy with jelled spike-y hair wearing a hollister shirt. Not at all bad, just different.
Mesquite really is a great area for family wanting affordable housing. They families have a lot of school pride and a tight-knit community. Sometimes its a nice change from flashy Dallas!
What's awesomeAffordable housing, more green space, community pride
What's not so awesomeCan be viewed as more country hick-ish than Dallas.
