SOUTH IRVING AND HERITAGE CROSSING

The heart of a small town still beats in Irving.

In a city where the crossroads of the world meet and big business thrives, can the roots of small-town life still run deep? They can, and do, in South Irving. Here, friends are neighbors and neighbors are friends. The pace of life is a little more relaxed. And people take pride in Irving's past—as well as its future.

A vital downtown.

Redevelopment and restoration are reshaping Irving's historic downtown. Heritage Crossing, with its parks, plazas, vintage shops, historic homes—and even a stop on the Trinity Railway Express—is a great place to spend an afternoon exploring. Enjoy a juicy burger at Big State Drug Store's soda fountain. Talk politics with the regulars at Joe's Coffee Shop. You may discover a place where everybody really does know your name—or is eager to learn it.

The Irving Downtown Association and the Irving Heritage Society play active roles in the area's revitalization and preservation.

Beautiful neighborhoods.

Some of the area's most charming neighborhoods are found in South Irving. Towering trees, oversized yards, beautiful parks and houses that range from the historic to the contemporary—all make for a great place to call home.

A community for business.

Irving's commitment to growth in South Irving is strong: The City offers premium incentives to businesses starting up or relocating south of Northgate Drive. And Irving supports its Heritage Crossing businesses with a dedicated Web site, Shop Irving Texas.

In Heritage Crossing, the City is spearheading the creation of an inviting new transit-oriented development that will feature shops, restaurants, offices, homes and parks—with the Trinity Railway Express station at its heart. This transit-oriented development will draw businesses and residents to a vibrant city core with a unique Irving signature.
