@@LIVINGINDALLAS I was a Mavs season ticket holder at the time so I loved being able to hop on the dart to go downtown. Also, would fly out of DFW a lot and would take the dart straight to the airport. I love how centrally located it is to so much.
I lived in s irving ( belt line and shady grove) for many years. Now it's all run down. Turned into Mexico. Stores falling apart. This is common all the way to hwy 114. The irving mall turned into a cheap clothing network. Restaurants into taco stands. It's horrible now. Even though Los Colinas is irving. It's really not. It's city of its own
Yes Boss I lived in Irving for 9 months, really loved it, was getting used to that place but suddenly I had to move to Philadelphia and now planning to move back to Irving Texas.
I like the video but it can be misleading when the neighborhoods your showing are only Valley Ranch and Las Colinas . Still a great informational video, but it could be misleading to people who’ve never been to Irving . Those are just two neighborhoods
Just know that if you are planning to move to Irving, the trash is picked once a week if you ever get into any car accident, you may have to wait about two hours for the police to show up, Irving is lost in time.
I grew up in Irving. Lived here all my life went to MacArthur high. It was fun and awesome. It's still the same in a way. But they took out everything that was fun. And made it a great attraction. I hope it goes back to the way it was.
@@LIVINGINDALLAS we always had something to do as a kid arcades in the mall. Beltline station the triangle bowl. It was a family friendly place. Especially when I went to Travis Jr high. It was like waking up in the place that made you happy no matter what day it is.
That sounds like such a nostalgic and heartwarming experience! I usually ask these questions to people who tend to have experiences or memories of the area featured in the videos. It provides me with a deeper understanding.
Irving is the best place to live in the DFW Metroplex if you want easy access to the cities, parks, culture, and the airports. I bought a home near the old downtown Irving area, near Baylor Scott & White…in Plymouth Park. I’ve got no regrets, and I’d make the move from the downtown Dallas area to Irving again in a heartbeat!! There are plenty of restaurants, shopping, and entertainment venues within a few minutes’ walk or drive!
I used to live on Rochelle and MacArthur Blvd. It was very convenient to use the buses until they took away the 508 and the 505 bus. That made it impossible to commute to work when you don't own a car. I like Irving and am thinking of moving back in a few months. I wonder how many changes have happened since i left in 2020, especially the increase in rent, crime, and homelessness.
Thanks for watching! 3-4 years might see some significant changes, but nothing too drastic. It's likely still the same as when you left. looking to rent or buy?
I’ve never been to Dallas but can someone please tell me why so many of the yards are brown and there’s dead grass everywhere? Is there a drought or a swarm of locusts or something? I thought Dallas got a lot of rain, I’m so confused. I live in a place where there is a serious drought but our grass looks a lot healthier.
Grew up in Irving 6th st and O'Conner. 75060. went to Bowie JH school and Nimitz HS. I lived there from 1989 to 1997. At this time in my neighborhood was gangs. We had Bloods (Tree top) Crips (rolling 60's) Mexican sets MD. SUR Xii, X111, Latin kings, etc.... even some white boy Nazi skinheads. I visited there in 2021 and it has definitely changed, great city
I liked living there overall. I really liked the food and shopping options, its central location, and how cleaned it was. I didnt like the costs and the some of the "smells" in the area
Ive lived in Valley Ranch, Las Colinas and central/south Irving. I loved being in Valley Ranch and Las Colinas but the rest of Irving is a total nightmare and an area to avoid. Im moving back to Las Colinas next month. I Went to Coppell Highschool around 2001-2002 and really loved it there compared to all the other schools I went to in my life. Ive lived all over texas and been to alot of schools. Im originally from Houston though.

I both agree and disagree. Preference can vary greatly depending on individual experiences and priorities. While Las Colinas and Valley Ranch may have more job opportunities, some people might still find aspects of Irving appealing. Different strokes for different folks!
Another attractive bonus to move to Irving Texas they now have the successful knife making business Cold Steel now based in Irving, back in the 90s I could buy cold steel imported knives and tools in NZ, but thanks to civilian mass shootings by an idealistic nut job, cold steel retractable batons, special forces shovels, sjambok walking sticks, any knife over 6 inches and throwing stars were systematically banned, just like all imported Chinese Norinco semiautomatic centre fire rifles and pump action shotguns with 6 shot box magazines limits or 6 shot loading capacity barrel cylinder internal magazines, they all needed a police approved license and a medical psych evaluation to be allowed to buy and own a gun and ammunition. Owning a handgun was doable but more expensive and a lot like climbing Mt Everest with jumping through rings of bureaucratic red tape.
Most of irving is dead. Nothing new built. And 80% is now Mexico. If you move to valley ranch area your packed in like sardines. I'm not sure why anyone would move there
Life is rough in Texas, healthcare is meh, lot's of infectious disease from the humidity, a lot of environmental waste and significant crime and lot's of DUI'S and terrible weather only lived in the area for a few years before the gentrified hell came.
Hey there! Thanks for watching. Sorry it wasn't positive for you. Texas isn't everyone's cup of tea, but for most, it's a perfect blend of challenge and opportunity. Best of luck in your current adventures. Cheers!
My experience was positive au contraire. I achieved a lot in my home state just not what I was destined for. My Econ professor said the state would turn blue by 2030. Cheers to you too my friend! I hope you stay safe from all those people coming from Juarez etc.
@dmavs4131 me too! Back like 2009 to 2014. Lived in an apt on lake Caroline or whatever. I miss going to the trails, hanging out at the Italian restaurant on Las Colinas Blvd.
I’ve lived in CA for over a decade and even I can’t take these people anymore. I don’t know how they pulled it off but everyone is idealogically subverted and incapable of critical thought. They’re STILL wearing masks in their cars. The pandemic was one hell of a PsyOp for this state.

They just went back to twice a week garbage pick up, after about a year of once a week.
Thanks for the insight! I've heard that the community is taking some initiatives in this regard. Thanks for tuning in!

Summer time with a drought. It is consistently hot with little rain during the summer.

Valley ranch and las Colinas are the only good parts of Irving so avoid south/central Irving 😂

bruh I have lived in Irving for 30 years and it sucks!!!! Las Colinas & Valley Ranch are where the jobs are.
I both agree and disagree. Preference can vary greatly depending on individual experiences and priorities. While Las Colinas and Valley Ranch may have more job opportunities, some people might still find aspects of Irving appealing. Different strokes for different folks!
In irving tx right now can personally attest to the fact that it’s wack like frisco and plano (frisco is worse)
Hi there! thanks for tuning in. For the sake of conversation, what's on top of the list of things you want changed?
Karl Mountain
He only showed Las Colinas n Valley ranch
The rest of it is not "friendly" or safe to be honest. Lol. You shouldnt leave the house without a weapon in certain parts of irving.

Yes it died in 2012 sadly I was born in Dallas and it is not the same.

@@pinuplegends died LONG before that. 1980s irving changed. Mexico moved in. And everyone else went north to Mckinney

I grew up in South Dakota, lived in Irving since the 70s. I always laugh at people who complain about the weather here.
