What do gondolas, polo horses, the NHL and a monorail have in common? You’ll have to come to Irving to find out… While the mention of Texas brings to mind images of cowboys and rodeos, Irving boasts a lifestyle that is just about as cosmopolitan as anywhere in the country. Convenience to Dallas, Fort
Worth, and 2 Airports is what initially brings homebuyers to Irving. Then they discover the wealth of art, cultural, sporting and recreational activities. Master planned Valley Ranch in far north Irving is home to the Dallas Cowboys’ and Dallas Stars’ training facilities, and offers a variety of residential opportunities. Las Colinas, a premier multi-use planned community of homes, businesses and the Mandalay Canal is also part of Irving.
Irving
Cowboy and culture combine in Irving
Irving’s best kept secret is perhaps the city funded Irving Arts Center. Set up to encourage art and cultural groups in the city, the IAC manages a multi-theater complex that is affiliated
with the The Smithsonian. This partnership allows the Arts Center to borrow from the Smithsonian’s extensive collection of 136 million object collection! The IAC is home to over 20 exhibits each year plus live performances by the Irving and Las Colinas Symphony Orchestras, the Irving Symphonic Band, the Irving Ballet Company, the New Philharmonic Orchestra of Irving, and the Irving Community Theater.
Outdoor recreation offers something for everyone
Looking for something a little more athletic to do? Irving is a golfers dream. There are five 18-hold courses within the city limits and Irving hosts the PGA’s EDS Byron Nelson Championship each Spring. Not a golfer? How about a hike along the City of Irving’s 22 mile city path Campion Trails. Irving provides its citizens with
8 recreation centers , many of which offer pools, exercise rooms and after school programs. They even have Fritz Petting Farm for the kids. Or if History’s more your style, be sure to visit Heritage Park’s historic train depot and the nearby Heritage House. Built in 1812 it’s one of Irving’s oldest homes.
Las Colinas
Global headquarters for Fortune 500 companies
Spanish for, “the hills,” Las Colinas is a 12,000-acre master planned community that is often thought of as “just a major business center”. But those “in the know” know better. You’ll know you’ve arrived when you see the iconic Flower Clock at the corner of Highway 114 and O’Connor Blvd. It’s a working timepiece the city keeps planted with fresh blooms and greenery year round. A part of Irving, Las Colinas is home to 
2,000-plus corporations and the global headquarters of Fortune 500 companies. The list of corporate citizens reads like a “who’s who” and includes the likes of Exxon Mobile, Verizon, Microsoft, and Nokia. It may sound like a lot of corporate citizens occupy Las Colinas, but those looking for residental real estate in Las Colinas will find a wide variety of townhomes, condos, and single family homes in 11 residential villages.
European ambiance meets wild west mustangs
Watch out for wild horses! The Mustangs of Las Colinas bronze sculpture gallops across a granite stream in Williams Square. Be sure and put the kids on one to take a photo. Then, walk just a block down the street 
and enter the European ambiance that is the Mandalay Canal Walk at Las Colinas. You’ll be transported from the wild west to what seems to be a canal in Venice right here along the shores of Lake Carolyn. Be sure and sign up for a gondola ride in advance, and you’ll have a canal view of the shopping and dining available along the cobblestone walkways above. Oh, and be sure to look up. Way up. You’ll see the Las Colinas monorail connecting the office towers. Only in Texas Las Colinas!
Valley Ranch
Treelined streets and backyard canals
Valley Ranch is a master-planned residential community in Irving just north of HWY 635 along MacArthur Boulevard. Residents enjoy over 5 miles of winding landscaped canal walkways, ponds, and 7 different 
parks. This former cattle ranch offers an extensive system of canal networks and levees that is kept aesthetically pleasing through firm guidelines overseen by The Valley Ranch Association. Valley Ranch is also the home of the Dallas Cowboy’s training facility as well as the NHL’s Dallas Stars.
