Mesquite Homes for Sale

In north-central Texas, just twelve miles east of Dallas, there is a conveniently located city called Mesquite. Mesquite, Texas is situated along U.S. Route 80 in proximity to the junction of Interstate 30 and Interstate 635. Bordered by Garland on the north and Balch Springs on the south, Mesquite is known as the “Rodeo Capital of Texas” and hosts the Mesquite Championship Rodeo. This well-established community has roots dating back to 1873 and was incorporated in 1887. Cotton was one of its primary industries and the population grew slowly, but steadily until 1950. Then the population exploded between 1950 and 1970, increasing from two thousand residents to more than fifty thousand residents. Much of this growth was attributed to the expansion of nearby Dallas. The Mesquite Historical Commission was formed in the 1980s and has successfully preserved much of the city’s heritage and culture. Now known as Historic Mesquite, Inc., the commission continues to work on projects throughout the city.

In addition to an excellent location and a rich, well-preserved history, Mesquite boasts a long list of exciting attractions. In addition to the Mesquite Championship Rodeo, the city is home to a fabulous Arts Center which encompasses a large art gallery, more than sixteen arts groups, and hosts the Mesquite Community Theater, the Mesquite Symphony Orchestra, and the Mesquite Community Band. Other points of interest in Mesquite include Devil’s Bowl Speedway, Rodeo City Music Hall, and multiple historic sites including the Texas Queen double-deck paddle wheeler and the Florence Ranch Homestead of the late 1800s. The city’s proximity to Dallas-Fort Worth afford a wide variety of additional opportunities for entertainment, recreation, shopping, and dining, at destinations that include Dallas World Aquarium and Rainforest, West End Marketplace, Six Flags Over Texas, and Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District.

Further contributing to the irresistibility of Mesquite are its outstanding housing options.
