The Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) metropolitan area, a 9,469 square-mile, 12-county region that includes Dallas, Fort Worth and 126 other municipalities, is one of the most prominent real estate markets in the country. It offers immeasurable possibilities for business diversity, growth and startup, and it is often a top choice when businesses decide to invest, build or relocate.
DFW is the largest metropolitan population in Texas and the ninth largest in the nation with more than 5.6 million residents. It ranks fifth in the nation in the number of Fortune 500 headquarters and is a world leader in transportation with excellent rail routes, rapid transit systems and interstate highways. The Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is the world's third busiest airport and serves more than 60 million passengers per year.
Residents and travelers alike enjoy DFW's first-class hotels and restaurants, two major cultural arts districts, 64 performing theaters, 53 museums, 13 orchestras, 400 public parks and 60 lakes, 150 private and municipal golf courses, and 7 major league sports teams, including the world famous Dallas Cowboys, Texas Rangers, Dallas Stars and Dallas Mavericks. With its central location and time zone, fair weather, educated work force, low cost of living, as well as absence of a state personal income tax, corporate income tax and state property or unitary tax, institutions both large and small put DFW at the top of their list for corporate growth or relocation.
