Here are all the results with descriptions

Colleyville
Ranked number 13 in the best places to live in the U.S., Colleyville is a great choice for families. With a Mid-Cities location, you're never far from the cultural benefits of Dallas and Fort Worth, and you're close to the airport without being in its flight path. Shopping centers are abundant, but without sacrificing aesthetics. Colleyville is known for its gorgeous old-growth trees and established neighborhoods.

Mesquite
If you want to live a nice, quiet, middle-class life out of the rat race, Mesquite is for you. There are upscale neighborhoods, but for the most part, Mesquite is about quality of life, not flash and materialism. It's a small town with a friendly-neighbor vibe. If you've ever seen 'King of the Hill,' you probably know that this is where it takes place. Get packed up, because Boomhauer's got a cold one waiting for you.

Cedar Hill
Do you love the outdoors? Do you want to live an active lifestyle? Then Cedar Hill has what you want. Perched in wooded hills next to Joe Pool Lake, Cedar Hill seems more like a scenic getaway than a traditional suburb. Bikers, hikers, and water lovers will love living here. In addition, you'll be strategically positioned to get anywhere in the metroplex easily.

Rockwall
Rockwall is a beautiful place to live. Scenic beauty abounds in the rolling landscape, lake views of Lake Ray Hubbard, and established shopping centers that have aesthetic appeal. It's got a reputation for being an affluent suburb, but there are affordable neighborhoods here, where middle-income families can take advantage of living in a prosperous community.

Flower Mound
Flower Mound is for fun and flowers! The mound is part of the original prairie and was named because of its abundant mass of wildflowers. It is now a protected area. This town is full of parks and outdoor activities as well as an aquarium, Lake Lewis, and hot air balloon rides. You're also just a hop, skip, and a jump from the Tarantula Train in Grapevine Mills--as well as its huge mall!

North Arlington
The hills of Arlington are tons of fun to drive on and offer an alternate landscape in the metroplex. The town sports Six Flags over Texas, Hurricane Harbor water park, and Globe Life Park ballpark, where the Texas Rangers play. There's lots to eat and fun to be had. You've got your choice of three major corridors to your choice of Dallas or Fort Worth as well as inexpensive public transportation to both cities.
