Open Houses Show That Arlington’s a Baseball Town With World Series’ Cred, No Matter What Josh Said

3107 Westwood Drive, Arlington703 W. Abram Street, Arlington6 Garden Lane, Dalworthington Gardens

It was 2013 when former Texas Ranger Josh Hamilton infamously said, “It’s one of those things, especially Dallas, has always been a football town … but it’s not a true baseball town.”

Well, that seems a little silly now, doesn’t it, Josh? The Texas Rangers baseball team has brought a World Series win, plenty of excitement, tons of business, and oodles of fun to North Texas this year, and we like it. Manager Bruce Bochy came out of retirement and has led the team to victory after victory this season, giving your Texas Rangers their first-ever World Series win against the Arizona Diamondbacks in just five games. We’ll see you at the victory parade in Arlington on Friday!

Seems like Arlington, Texas, home of the Texas baseball darlings, deserves a little more credit than Hamilton gave it. It’s home to both the Texas Rangers and the Dallas (I know, confusing) Cowboys. The city also is home to the University of Texas at Arlington for educational opportunities, the Levitt Pavilion Arlington for outdoor concerts, and Six Flags Over Texas for roller coaster rides.

Living in a “true baseball town” can be a grand-slam choice for some home buyers. Arlington’s got some great homes, close to the big ballparks. Last year’s average home price was $365,022, according to the Texas Real Estate Research Center at Texas A&M University, so we’re pitching a few of the current housing opportunities in Arlington. Let’s take a bat at open houses in Arlington this week.

3107 Westwood Drive, Arlington

Buy this house for a wonderful place to sit around and discuss the Ranger’s batting order or maybe the team’s bullpen. Its outdoor living areas are so inviting that the baseball discussions might never end. Choose from the 60-foot covered patio, the balcony, or the fire pit for the best place to discuss sports or enjoy the sunsets. Water features? There’s both a beautifully landscaped pool and a canal to enjoy.

What a nice place for a post-game beverage…or two.

The impressive iron front door opens to a two-story entryway. The 4,300-square-foot house includes a formal dining room and living area for entertaining before or after any major league ball game. The updated kitchen offers two pantries — perfect for storing all the Cracker Jack — plus great views of the backyard canal.

Upstairs are all the bedrooms in this five-bedroom home, although one could be transformed into a game room. Bathrooms number three full baths and one half-bath. Built in 1991, the house is listed at $740,000.

Natural light floods the formal dining room.
An ornate iron door opens to a two-story entry.

Agent Barbara Young with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices of America will hold this house open from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday.

703 W. Abram Street, Arlington

This place at Main 7 Urban Villas is perfect for someone who wants to travel from game to game, seeing the Rangers at home or on the road. With this newly constructed, professionally decorated townhouse, there’s nothing to think about other than what time’s the first pitch.

Lock it. Leave it. Go to the baseball game.

Fully furnished, the townhouse comes with three bedrooms, two full baths, and one half-bath. The open-concept floor plan features a living room opening to the kitchen, equipped with stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar for casual dining or reading the sports section.

The location is a walkable distance to UTA and less than a 10-minute drive to Globe Life Field to see the Rangers and AT&T Stadium to see the Cowboys.  The listing price of $465,000 includes 1,628 square feet, furniture, and convenience.

The living area is a comfortable spot to watch the away games on TV.
When ballpark hot dogs aren’t on the menu, this kitchen can be the place to cook dinner.

Listed by Georgie Zang with Compass Real Estate, this townhouse will be held open from noon to 3 p.m. Thursday.

6 Garden Lane, Dalworthington Gardens

Okay, this one isn’t technically Arlington, but the very name of the town screams that it’s in the middle of Dallas and Fort Worth, just like Arlington. Its online listing even pinpoints it as a “West Arlington community,” priced at $1.6 million.

This two-story house with more than 9,000 square feet has lots of room to host baseball celebrations.

This two-story contemporary features five bedrooms and — count ‘em — nine bathrooms. Oh, and five fireplaces, too. In its 9,226 square feet, the home has a lot to like.

Built in 2015, it has such modern amenities as a rock-climbing wall (a great place to work out pre-game nerves) and a home theater (a nice spot to watch baseball movies). The oversized windows keep it light and bright, while the open concept would allow a big group to mingle before or after Rangers games. Dining would be great in the formal dining room, on the casual breakfast bar, or even on the porch.

Come up with a game plan at this breakfast bar.
Neutral colors and contemporary lighting accent this two-story home.

The house, listed by Adriana Blanco with Keller Williams Realty, will be held open from 2 to 4 p.m. Friday and noon to 3 p.m. Saturday.
