Nestled 20 minutes southwest of downtown Dallas, the City of Cedar Hill borders the eastern shore of Joe Pool Lake and Cedar Hill State Park. This thriving suburb’s lush, tree-lined rolling hills and wide-open green space allow for hikes, bike rides and other outdoor recreational opportunities, and from specialty boutiques in historic downtown to enjoying a day on Joe Pool Lake, the community has found a perfect balance of big-city amenities and small-town charm.
