Where Opporunities Grow Naturally!Cedar Hill is conveniently located in the heart of the DFW Metroplex, but you’ll think you’re in the Texas Hill Country when you see the abundance of scenic, rolling hills and surprising natural beauty. It is a destination for nature enthusiasts, sports and adventure competitors, but also offers all the amenities of a modern city with incredible shopping, plus a wide variety of fine, diverse and relaxed dining options. Many communities talk of having big city amenities with small town appeal, but in Cedar Hill it isn’t just a boast, it’s a way of life!

About Cedar HillLocated 20 minutes from downtown Dallas and 40 minutes from downtown Fort Worth with multiple connections to the rest of the DFW Metroplex; a 30 minute drive will take you to DFW International Airport or Dallas Love Field. For executive air travel, Dallas Executive Airport is only 15 minutes away.

With the prime location for retail, recreational, residential, commercial and industrial opportunities, locating and growing a business in Cedar Hill is easy. Educational opportunities abound with a satellite campus of Cedar Valley College, part of the Dallas County Community College District co-located with the Best Southwest SBDC, and Strayer University. Combined with an active business community, a ready workforce, and a City that seeks growth, businesses naturally thrive here. In addition to the prospering business climate, Cedar Hill has natural beauty. Cedar Hill State Park is nearly 2,000 acres and located on 7,500 acre Joe Pool Lake. The ruggedness and scenic beauty of the area combined with over 100 miles of shoreline and water based recreation activities make the Cedar Hill State Park of the most visited state parks in Texas.
