Euless

Welcome to Euless

Euless sits in the middle of the Mid-Cities, the run of suburbs between Dallas and Fort Worth, with DFW International Airport right on its doorstep. State Highway 183, the Airport Freeway, and SH 121 run straight through, and TX 360 meets them at the city's edge, so most of the Metroplex is 20 to 30 minutes out. Housing is a mix. You'll find postwar and 1970s-80s single-family homes on established streets, newer master-planned product on the south end near the Trinity River, plus a heavy share of apartments and townhomes (single-family detached is under half the housing stock). Recent median sale prices have run in the high $300s, with 2026 listings pushing past $420,000. The honest trade-off: sit too close to the airport approach and you'll hear the planes.

Euless is served by Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD (HEB ISD), not Fort Worth or Arlington. The district runs two comprehensive high schools, and most of Euless feeds Trinity High School in town, though some addresses split to L.D. Bell High School in Hurst depending on the exact street.

• Elementary: North Euless, South Euless, Midway Park, Oakwood Terrace, and Arbor Creek, with Lakewood, Wilshire, and Viridian serving parts of the city
• Junior High: Euless Junior High and Harwood Junior High (both feed Trinity)
• High: Trinity High School (most Euless neighborhoods) · L.D. Bell High School (some addresses)

Euless is strong here. The city runs more than 10 parks tied together by the Little Bear Creek Trail, which threads Villages of Bear Creek Park, the Preserve at McCormick Park, Trailwood Park, and Bob Eden Park along the creek. Bob Eden is the big one at 47 acres, with trails, courts, and athletic fields. Villages of Bear Creek adds a three-mile nature trail and a stack of soccer fields. Midway Park holds the Euless Family Life Center, a rec center and fitness floor built around an aquatic park with a lazy river. There's also the city-owned Texas Star Golf Course, a Keith Foster design that regularly lands on regional best-of lists.

The anchor is Arbor Daze, Euless's free family festival that's run for more than 25 years and given away over 150,000 trees. It lands at Glade Parks in late April (April 25 in 2026) with live music, carnival rides, arts and crafts vendors, a Kid Zone, and a drone show. The Family Life Center and the parks department program the rest of the calendar, from rec leagues to swim season, through the year.

Glade Parks is the retail hub, an open-air center anchored by Belk, Old Navy, Dick's Sporting Goods, Cinepolis Luxury Cinemas, and restaurants like Hopdoddy and First Watch. Beyond the shopping, a lot of Euless's character comes from its people. The city is home to one of the largest Tongan communities outside Tonga, several thousand strong, and that shows up in the food, the churches, and Friday nights at Trinity. Round it out with a round at Texas Star.

Settlers reached the spot around 1845, when Isham Crowley's party camped where Big Bear and Little Bear creeks meet, near the older Bird's Fort of 1841. A post office called Estill's Station opened in 1857 on what is now airport land. The town took its name in the 1880s, after Elisha Adam Euless and his wife Julia came from Tennessee and built a home and cotton gin; the post office reopened under his name in 1886. The Rock Island Railroad put a depot nearby in 1903. Euless incorporated in 1953 after a false start, and the schools joined with Hurst and Bedford to form HEB by 1958. DFW Airport, which opened in 1974, helped turn a farm town of 4,263 in 1960 into a city of more than 61,000 today.

Euless is a smart pick for anyone who flies for a living or just flies often. You can be at a DFW gate faster than from almost anywhere else in the Metroplex, and airline and airport workers have anchored this town for decades. You get established single-family neighborhoods, a genuinely deep park and trail system, and prices that still beat comparable Dallas addresses. One tip: pull up the HEB ISD boundary locator before you fall for a specific street, because the Trinity and L.D. Bell zones split right through parts of town. And if you want quiet, walk the yard once with the flight path in mind.
