As with many other properties in the area, it is getting new life as it becomes a new, trendy mixed-use development. It will offer great convenience for anyone looking for easy access to downtown Arlington, or for those who wish to live in a more urban environment yet steer clear of the crowded neighborhoods of Dallas.
