Small but mighty southwest Dallas suburb

Suburban Diverse Peaceful Historic Active

Today, Duncanville is a part of the Best Southwest partnership of Dallas, along with founding neighbors Cedar Hill, DeSoto, and Lancaster.

Although Duncanville is within minutes of bustling Downtown Dallas, there’s plenty to do in town. Indulge at any of the many diverse eateries, or unwind in one of the numerous scenic parks. A strong sense of community is fostered through a host of regular events. Among these events is the monthly Main Street market known as “Duncan Switch,” which takes place the third Saturday of every month.
