Convenience

Behind these charming brick facades is a sophisticated approach to sustainable development and economic vitality. Carrollton is centrally convenient to the urban amenities of the entire Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, and is located 15-20 minutes from both Dallas Love Field and DFW International airports.

Connection

With three Dallas-Area Rapid Transit (DART) light rail stations and plans for a new 26-mile regional rail corridor connecting Carrollton to DFW Airport in the east and the existing DART Red Line in Collin County to the west, the City is well-positioned as one of the major transportation hubs in the DFW Metroplex.

In addition to the arrival of light rail, Carrollton is serviced by major highways IH-35E, TX 121, and the President George Bush Turnpike. No wonder Carrollton is the place “where connections happen.”
