North Richland Hills was recently recognized as one of the 10 best neighborhoods in DFW by the Dallas Morning News. The newspaper scored more than 300 neighborhoods in Collin, Dallas, Denton, Rockwall and Tarrant counties on several factors including safety from crime, affordability of homes, good schools, well maintained and quiet neighborhoods, rising home values, pet-friendliness, places to shop and things to do, commute, walkability, trees and landscaping, and parks and greenspaces.
North Richland Hills was the only Tarrant County community included in the top 10 ranking, which was published on October 16, 2016. The newspaper stated that "North Richland Hills prides itself on being a welcoming and neighborly community. Quality of life is important here, and it shows."
