Where 180 restaurants, two walkable districts, and a top-ranked fireworks show pack into only 4.4 square miles, providing big-city living without the downtown price or the long commute.
Addison packs about 17,000 residents into 4.4 square miles, and most homes are apartments, so ownership clusters in a few pockets: Addison Circle condos, brand-new townhomes and 1980 garden homes west of Midway.

Addison Junction, a $240 million office, hotel and entertainment project, expects construction in 2027.
Addison is an incorporated town in Dallas County, incorporated June 15, 1953; the U.S. Census Bureau estimated its population at 17,195 on July 1, 2025. Its main ZIP code is 75001, and some east-side addresses use 75254 with a Dallas mailing city, so confirm town limits by address. Prices are Redfin figures and builder or listing prices for the periods shown; monthly ZIP samples are small, Redfin pages for 75001 ranged from about $520,000 to $529,000 in summer and fall 2026, and the three-month median ending September 2026 was $528,595 on small monthly sales, and estimates and asking prices are not sales. They are context, not values. Neighborhood names follow plats, builders and associations; association names for Addison Circle and Addison Grove, ownership options in Vitruvian Park and Addison Circle’s developer history weren’t confirmed. Towne Lake and the Les Lacs area are left out until their names and boundaries are confirmed. School districts are listed at the district level only and vary by address. Addison Junction details are from the Town of Addison, the Dallas Morning News and Bisnow; the construction timing is a projection, and the current plan includes no housing.

Spots marked “Call ahead” lacked a fall 2026 confirmation.
Compiled October 2026. Listings are from business websites, the Town of Addison, Visit Addison, the Dallas Morning News, the Dallas Observer, CultureMap, Local Profile, CW33 and listing sites, and were not confirmed with owners; call ahead to confirm hours and that a business is still open. No Addison restaurant appears in the 2026 Michelin Guide Texas, released October 8, 2026, and no 2026 James Beard recognition was found. The restaurant count is the Town’s; a Town press release cites more than 200. Lefty’s and Antonio Ristorante addresses weren’t confirmed, and Neighborhood Services, Gloria’s, III Forks and Mexican Sugar lacked direct fall 2026 confirmation. The Sicilian Butcher uses a Dallas mailing city; confirm it’s inside town limits. STIRR and Flying Fish have closed, the Cavanaugh Flight Museum left in 2023, Oak & Stone hadn’t confirmed an opening and a Hofbräu Pub is delayed to 2027, so they’re left off. No brewery inside Addison was found. Listings are not endorsements, and I receive no compensation from any business named.

From a Railroad Coaling Stop to a Restaurant Town on the Silver Line
Before Addison had a name, the land along White Rock Creek in northern Dallas County was prairie and creek bottom, used by Native peoples whose specific identities here aren’t documented.
The earliest written records for the Addison area begin with settlement in the 1840s, so the town’s deeper past has to be described carefully. The Texas State Historical Association’s Handbook of Texas places the first prominent settlers on White Rock Creek, making the creek the earliest documented landmark here. It later shaped where homes, farms and mills went as settlers arrived and the land was divided.
Native peoples lived in and moved through North Texas long before Peters Colony settlers arrived. None of the sources reviewed for this page, including the Handbook of Texas and the Town of Addison’s own history, names a specific tribe or village site within present-day Addison. This history therefore describes Native peoples at the regional level rather than claiming a particular nation or place for the town.
Peters Colony settlers reached the area in the 1840s; Preston Witt built a house on White Rock Creek by 1846, and the Witts’ ox-powered gristmill was running by 1849.
Addison sits in territory once organized as Peters Colony, the land-grant settlement that drew settlers to North Texas in the 1840s. According to the Town of Addison, settlement began as early as 1846, when Preston Witt built a house on White Rock Creek. The Handbook of Texas names Preston and Pleasant Witt as the first prominent settlers and says they built an ox-powered gristmill by 1849.
The Witts’ milling reached beyond Addison. The Town’s economic development history says Preston Witt ran the Trinity Mill with his brother Wade Witt and a brother-in-law, and that Trinity Mills Road in north Carrollton takes its name from that mill. The Handbook and the Town name different brothers. The area stayed rural, with scattered farms, until a railroad arrived in 1888.
In 1888 three landowners donated railroad right-of-way for a coaling station that became Noell Junction, and several buildings were moved over from nearby Frankford.
The Handbook of Texas records that in 1888 W. W. Julian, W. E. Horten and S. S. Noell donated right-of-way to the St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas Railway in exchange for a coaling station, later known as Noell Junction. That line became part of the St. Louis Southwestern, popularly called the Cotton Belt. Several buildings were then moved from nearby Frankford to the station, shifting the community toward the tracks.
Sidney Smith Noell, the junction’s namesake, owned 1,200 acres south of today’s Belt Line Road between Midway and Preston roads, according to the Town of Addison’s historical photo archive. The Town credits him as a charter member of the Addison Methodist Church and says he gave land to bring the Cotton Belt’s line toward Dallas through the community, setting the pattern for the town that followed.
A cotton gin, a depot, a 1903 rail spur to Dallas and a post office named for Addison Robertson turned the junction into a small farm town of about 75 residents by 1914.
In 1902 the Pistole brothers built Addison’s first industry, a cotton gin on Addison Road near the railroad; it later became the Farmers Gin of Addison, according to the Town. The Handbook of Texas says a depot opened in 1902 and the railroad built a spur to Dallas in 1903, and residents rode a small Cotton Belt train nicknamed the “Plug” into Dallas until 1917.
Sources disagree on the naming. The Handbook of Texas says a post office opened in 1904 and was named for Addison Robertson, the first postmaster, because another Texas town already used the name Noell. The Town instead calls Robertson the second postmaster and dates the Addison name to 1902. Town lots were platted in 1904, but by 1926 the bank had failed and the population had fallen to about 40.
Facing possible annexation by Dallas, residents incorporated the City of Addison on June 15, 1953, under an aldermanic form of government, with M. W. Morris as the first mayor.
The Handbook of Texas says Addison incorporated in 1953 to avoid annexation by Dallas, and the Town gives the exact date as June 15, 1953. The first council under the aldermanic charter included Mayor M. W. Morris and five aldermen. The vote count often repeated online wasn’t confirmed in primary sources, so this page leaves it out rather than repeat an unverified tally.
Population figures around incorporation conflict. The Handbook of Texas says Addison had about 600 residents and eight businesses in the mid-1950s, while a census table lists 308 residents in 1960, and the gap isn’t explained. In 1954 the Addison School, built on Belt Line Road in 1914, joined the Dallas Independent School District. The building closed as a school in 1964 and still stands today as a restaurant.
Addison Airport, privately built and opened October 18, 1957, made aviation the town’s first major industry, and by 1970 Addison counted 595 residents and 80 businesses.
The Handbook of Texas dates the airport’s construction to 1956, the same year a local newspaper was founded. Addison Airport’s own history puts the formal groundbreaking on March 16, 1957, and the grand opening on October 18, 1957. The Handbook lists the airport and aviation equipment makers among the town’s major industries, and by 1974 Addison’s 189 businesses included makers of plastics, metal and pharmaceutical products.
Public ownership came later. Addison Airport’s official history says the Federal Aviation Administration approached the town and that Addison became the owner in 1976, with a federal grant covering 90 percent of the $8 million price. Other accounts give 1975 or 1986, and this page uses the airport’s own date. Ownership let the town control zoning and development around the runway as the area grew.
A mid-1970s liquor-by-the-drink vote, unusual in Dallas County, drew restaurants and hotels; population jumped from 595 in 1970 to 5,553 in 1980, and Kaboom Town! began in 1985.
The Town of Addison dates its liquor-by-the-drink election to 1975 and calls it a major contributor to the growth of businesses and restaurants. The Handbook of Texas says residents voted to legalize alcoholic beverages in 1976, unlike most Dallas County communities, so the exact year is uncertain. The Handbook adds that a property tax rate far below Dallas’s also helped attract new businesses.
The town built its first park in 1978 and launched a beautification program by 1980. On April 3, 1982, Addison adopted a new charter and changed its name from the City of Addison to the Town of Addison. The Dallas North Tollway reached Belt Line Road in December 1986 and continued north in 1987, and the first Kaboom Town! Independence Day show was held in 1985.
A dense urban district at Addison Circle, a 1992 theater center, Taste Addison from 1993 and a growing restaurant row came as population rose from 8,783 in 1990 to 14,166 in 2000.
The Handbook of Texas counts growth from 49 restaurants in 1986 to 118 in 1991. The town formed a long-range planning committee in 1992 and adopted urban center zoning for Addison Circle in 1995 with developer Columbus Realty Trust, and town records date its first phase to 1996 and 1997. The district received a Congress for the New Urbanism Charter Award in 2002 for its walkable design.
The Addison Theatre Centre opened in 1992, and WaterTower Theatre became a professional company in 1996. The Cavanaugh Flight Museum opened at Addison Airport in 1993, the same year Taste Addison debuted. The Addison Airport Toll Tunnel, completed in 1999, carried east-west traffic beneath the runway, and the Addison Transit Center bus station opened that year as well, linking the town to regional buses.
Apartment developer UDR began Vitruvian Park in 2008, its holiday lights debuted in 2012, and townhomes rose on a former Sam’s Club site as Addison grew through redevelopment.
Apartment developer UDR began building Vitruvian Park west of Midway Road at Spring Valley Road in 2008, according to Addison Magazine, and a large 2013 investment in the community signaled outside capital. Its holiday display, Vitruvian Lights, began in November 2012, and its 2025 season was billed as the 13th. A free summer salsa festival in the park followed and marked its 11th year in 2025.
On the former Sam’s Club site on Belt Line Road, the town approved planned-development zoning in January 2016 and an InTown Homes plan that May. The Dallas Morning News reported in January 2019 that 170 townhomes were under construction at what became Addison Grove, and later blocks were still moving through approvals in 2022 and 2023. The 2010 census counted 13,056 residents.
DART’s Silver Line opened October 25, 2025, with a station on Arapaho Road; voters chose to stay in DART on May 2, 2026, as plans for Addison Junction advanced nearby.
In 2022 Addison selected two developers for a residential-heavy, $472 million project around its rail station, but that plan gave way to a commercial deal. On September 9, 2025, the council approved an agreement with Quadrant Investment Properties for Addison Junction, a $240 million project with a mass-timber office building, a 140-room hotel and an event venue called The Hangar, with construction expected in 2027.
DART’s 26-mile Silver Line opened October 25, 2025, linking Addison to Plano, Richardson, Carrollton and DFW Airport. The Cavanaugh Flight Museum closed to the public at the end of 2023, and the town ended Taste Addison in January 2026 after more than 30 years. On May 2, 2026, about 70 percent of Addison voters chose to remain in DART, keeping the new station in service.
Compiled from the Texas State Historical Association Handbook of Texas (Addison), the Town of Addison’s history pages and historical photo archive, the Addison Economic Development history, Addison Airport’s official history, town planning records, the Congress for the New Urbanism, WaterTower Theatre, Addison Magazine, the Dallas Morning News, KERA, FOX 4, WFAA and AARoads highway histories. Sources disagree on several dates: the post office (1904 per the Handbook, with the Addison name dated to 1902 by the Town), Addison Robertson’s role (first or second postmaster), the liquor vote (1975 or 1976), the airport purchase (1975, 1976 or 1986; this page uses the airport’s 1976) and population around incorporation (about 600 in the mid-1950s versus 308 in 1960). The Handbook and the Town name different Witt brothers. Native peoples specific to Addison, the landscape’s prairie classification, the 1953 vote tally and a 1997 Addison Circle leasing start weren’t confirmed and are left out. Road-name origins come from a secondary genealogy source. The DART result is from final unofficial returns. Addison Junction timing is a projection.

Held Thursday, July 3, 2025, the 40th anniversary, and Friday, July 3, 2026, with the airshow at 7:30 p.m. and fireworks at 9:30 p.m.
Park tickets were $10 for ages 10 and up and $5 for ages 2 to 9, with tickets required even for children under 2; watching from elsewhere in town costs nothing. 2027 details hadn’t been announced.
A free outdoor concert series with tribute and party bands and food trucks at the Vitruvian Park amphitheater, 3966 Vitruvian Way.
Held June 12 to August 7, 2025, and June 11 to August 6, 2026, from 7 to 9:30 p.m., with free parking.

Admission is free; parking was $15 cash in 2026. The format has changed, so check the 2027 schedule.
A Bavarian festival with German beer and food, polka bands in a party tent, a keg tapping, stein-holding contests and a Sunday dachshund race, which the Town says began 38 years before 2025.
Held September 18 to 21, 2025, and September 17 to 20, 2026, scheduled to open the same weekend as Munich’s festival.
In 2025, Thursday was free; Friday and Saturday were $15 for ages 13 and up and $5 for ages 6 to 12; Sunday was $10. Confirm 2027 prices with the Town.
Addison’s resident professional theater company, staging plays and musicals since 1996; individual titles change each season.
The 2025–26 season included The Graduate, January 20 to February 8, 2026, and the 2026–27 season opened with Songs for a New World, October 20 to November 1, 2026.
Summer musicals have moved to a campus in Farmers Branch. Ticket prices weren’t confirmed.
A walk-through holiday light display of more than 1.2 million LEDs on hundreds of trees, opening with a tree-lighting concert and photos with Santa, plus Saturday food-truck nights.
The 13th season ran November 22, 2025, to January 1, 2026. The 14th is set for November 28, 2026, to January 3, 2027, with special event nights on November 28 and December 5.
Admission is free; onsite parking on special nights was $15 cash in 2025.
Taste Addison has ended. The spring food festival ran from 1993 through April 2025; in January 2026 the Town ended it after a loss of about $760,000 on the 2025 edition and said it would promote restaurants year-round instead.
Ideas the Town floated, such as a restaurant week, a burger battle and a “Taste on the Tarmac,” had no confirmed dates when this was written.
Missing: no recurring spring event with two dated years was found, and the Cavanaugh Flight Museum left Addison Airport at the end of 2023.
Timing shown is the usual pattern for each event; exact dates, times, prices and locations change from year to year, and organizers’ own sites are the authoritative source. Event details are from the Town of Addison, Visit Addison, Vitruvian Park and UDR, WaterTower Theatre, Addison Magazine, CBS Texas, FOX 4, CW33, Local Profile, North Texas e-News, the Dallas Morning News and listing sites; each event shown was found in at least two dated years. Oktoberfest 2026 prices come from a secondary source, the WaterTower Theatre venue address and ticket prices weren’t confirmed, and sources differ on how many trees Vitruvian Lights covers. The Out of the Loop Fringe Festival ended in 2016. Listing an event isn’t an endorsement of its organizer. Statements that something is missing mean no reliable source was found, not that it doesn’t exist. Bobby Franklin, REALTOR®, TREC #0805459, Legacy Realty Group – Leslie Majors Team.

Headquarters are at 1445 N. Perry Rd., Carrollton, 972-968-6100. Ratings are preliminary until TEA’s December release.
Addison
Addison’s economic development office says the only public elementary school within town borders is Dallas ISD’s George H. W. Bush Elementary, opened in 2012. Other campuses serving Addison addresses sit in nearby cities.
Campus names are listed for organization only; assignment depends on the address. The 1914 Addison School building closed as a school in 1964.
Both districts
Dallas ISD voters approved a $6.2 billion bond on May 2, 2026, funding 26 replacement campuses, districtwide renovations and removal of 700-plus portables. CFB ISD voters approved $716.4 million in May 2023 at the existing debt rate.
Whether any campus serving Addison is on Dallas ISD’s replacement list wasn’t confirmed; check the district’s Bond 2026 project list. CFB ISD’s 2025–26 consolidation reassigned Vitruvian Way apartments to a different elementary zone.
District level
Dallas ISD’s 2027–28 magnet, P-TECH, Montessori, STEAM and dual language applications open November 1, 2026, and close January 31, 2027. The Discover Dallas ISD fair is November 7, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Fair Park.
CFB ISD offers programs of choice, an early college high school, career academies and transfers; its 2027–28 dates weren’t confirmed.
After exemptions
On an illustrative $528,600 homestead, Dallas ISD’s $140,000 state and 10 percent local exemptions leave about $335,700 taxable, about $3,309 a year. CFB ISD offers no local option, so about $388,600 is taxable, about $3,684.
That’s why the CFB ISD side pays more despite a rate about 3.8 cents lower.
Dallas Central Appraisal District
Both districts give the state’s $140,000 homestead exemption. Dallas ISD adds a 10 percent local option and lists $95,000 for owners 65 and older or disabled; CFB ISD lists $60,000. Both cap the school bill at the level of the year you qualify.
File Form 50-114 with the Dallas Central Appraisal District. Town, county, hospital district and college exemptions are separate.

Median Sales Price
What Addison homes actually sold for each month. With Addison Circle condos and townhomes, newer townhome communities like Addison Grove, and single-family homes in Midway Meadows all trading in a town of about four square miles, the mix of what sold moves this line as much as the market does.
Addison’s median moves with which homes sold. Redfin’s three-month median ending September 2026 for ZIP code 75001 was about $529,000. A month heavy with Addison Circle condos pulls the line down; a month with new townhomes or single-family homes pushes it up. Read the trend, not one month.
A condo in Addison Circle, a newer Addison Grove townhome and a Midway Meadows house can all land on this one line. The chart is not your comp. Your comps match your community, floor plan, age, condition, parking and HOA dues.
Texas is a non-disclosure state, so portal prices are models. This is MLS. Ask for the actual comparable sales in your community, plus HOA dues, reserves and any special assessments, and whether a condo building qualifies for your loan type.
Days on market describes how buyers behaved. In a town this small, one quick sale or one stale listing can move the median sharply, so look for the direction over six to twelve months. In ZIP 75001, homes recently sold at about 97.8 percent of list, so there’s some room to negotiate.
The first two weeks bring the most traffic a listing will ever get. If they pass without an offer, that is pricing information. Acting in week three beats acting in week ten.
When a home has waited a while, there’s usually room to negotiate on price, repairs, HOA transfer fees or closing costs. A condo or townhome that has waited a while is usually where the negotiating room is, especially in communities with several units listed at once.
Under 10 showings means buyers are deciding quickly. Rising counts mean people are walking through and walking away, which is a different problem from nobody looking at all.
This separates a pricing problem from a presentation problem. Plenty of showings and no offer usually means something specific is putting people off, and that is fixable without dropping the price.
High showings-to-pending means you can be selective without losing homes. Read it against days on market: low on both is a hot market, high on both means the leverage is yours.
Check how many homes closed before you read anything into the price or days-on-market charts. Addison often records only a dozen or so sales a month, so a few condo or townhome closings can move the median more than the market did.
Your competition includes other units in your own community, plus North Dallas, Farmers Branch, Carrollton and new townhomes nearby. Price against matching floor plans and have your HOA documents, resale certificate and repair records ready.
Inventory runs from condos to townhomes and a limited number of single-family homes. Confirm the school district, HOA dues, insurance, parking and the full tax bill by address early, because Addison addresses split between Dallas ISD and Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD.
Charts supplied by NTREIS via 10K Research and Marketing and update automatically. Data reflects residential activity reported to the MLS and may be revised as late-reported sales come in. Addison is its own town, separate from the City of Dallas; it sits mostly in ZIP code 75001, some Addison-area addresses carry a Dallas mailing address in 75254, and the town is split between Dallas ISD and Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD, so MLS city fields may not match town limits. The median and sale-to-list figure in the notes are Redfin’s three-month figures ending September 2026 for ZIP 75001, which includes some homes outside town limits; Redfin’s town-level page had not been updated recently. Sales volume is low, so every chart here can swing on a few transactions. These charts do not separate condos, townhomes and single-family homes or the two school districts. Condo financing depends on each building’s eligibility. Market statistics describe the area as a whole and are not a substitute for a comparative market analysis on a specific property. Texas is a non-disclosure state, so publicly available sale prices elsewhere are estimates rather than recorded figures.

Pick a purchase year and the price fills in. If you own here, type over it with what you actually paid. This calculator runs on the Dallas County index, the federal repeat-sales measure for the county Addison sits in. A home bought in 2015 is worth about twice its price on the index, with the biggest jump in 2021 and 2022, then flat to slightly down in 2025.
Bought here? Tap the number and enter what you paid.
Federal house price index growth, indexed to the purchase year, where the purchase year equals 100.
From 2015 to 2025 the Dallas County index rose about 98 percent, with a jump of about 20 percent in 2022 alone.
It slipped 0.1 percent in 2025, its first annual dip since 2011.
Redfin’s ZIP 75001 median sale price was $528,595 for the three months ending September 2026, on small monthly sales.
Condos often sell well below that, so type over the price with what you paid.
Dallas ISD’s rate is $0.985735 with a 10 percent local exemption; CFB ISD’s is $0.9481 with none.
On a $528,600 homestead, the CFB ISD side pays about $375 more a year.
On a $528,600 homestead at 2026 rates, I estimate about $8,237 a year in Dallas ISD or $8,612 in CFB ISD, if Proposition A passes.
The school line is the largest; the Town of Addison is about $2,529 after its cut to $0.5981.
Growth rates are the FHFA All-Transactions House Price Index, annual values 2009 through 2025: Dallas County, Texas (FRED series ATNHPIUS48113A, base 2000 equals 100), the State of Texas (TXSTHPI) and the United States (USSTHPI). State and national figures are annual averages of published quarters. The Dallas County values are from an earlier pull, last updated March 31, 2026, and weren’t rechecked this cycle. FHFA describes county indices as developmental and subject to revision, and the annual series does not cover 2026. No town-specific index was used, and a countywide index may not track Addison’s own prices. The prefilled dollar figures are derived and illustrative, not published: they apply the Dallas County index to a $528,600 anchor near Redfin’s ZIP 75001 median sale price for the three months ending September 2026 ($528,595, with 24 sales in September). That median mixes condos, townhomes and detached homes; the Town’s fiscal 2027 budget cites an average taxable single-family value of $509,353. The index is built from conforming loans and excludes jumbo lending and all-cash purchases. Equity figures assume a 30-year fixed mortgage at that year’s Freddie Mac annual average rate (2025 approximately 6.6 percent), held to today, with no refinancing, no extra principal and no additional borrowing; Freddie Mac’s weekly 30-year average was 7.32 percent and its 15-year average 6.68 percent on October 22, 2026. The 2026 conforming loan limit is $832,750; the Dallas County FHA limit is reported at $563,500 and wasn’t confirmed directly with HUD. They exclude closing costs, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, improvements and selling costs; owner’s title premiums are set by the Texas Department of Insurance, and commissions are negotiable. Tax examples use an illustrative $528,600 appraised homestead, owner under 65, at 2026 rates: Town of Addison $0.5981 after a 20 percent homestead exemption; Dallas ISD $0.985735 after $140,000 and 10 percent exemptions or Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD $0.9481 after the $140,000 exemption with no local option; Dallas County $0.24865 (or $0.22465 if Proposition A fails, about $101 less), Parkland Hospital District $0.212 and Dallas College $0.106575 (proposed), each after a 20 percent homestead exemption. Non-school exemption amounts are from the appraisal district’s 2025 table. Owners 65 and older or disabled receive a further $60,000 town exemption, $100,000 from the county, Parkland and Dallas College, and added school exemptions with a tax ceiling; whether the town has a tax ceiling wasn’t confirmed. Association dues for Addison Circle, Addison Grove and other communities, and any special district, weren’t confirmed; check the resale certificate and appraisal record. It is an illustration, not a quote; actual bills depend on certified values, the homestead appraisal cap and each owner’s exemptions. The homestead appraisal cap limits increases in a homestead’s taxable appraised value to 10 percent a year and ends on sale. This is an illustration for general reference, not an appraisal, a comparative market analysis, a valuation or investment advice. Past appreciation does not predict future appreciation.

Addison is a town of about 17,200 on the Dallas North Tollway, with ZIP 75001 homes selling near $529,000. The trade-offs are real: about $8,237 a year in taxes on a $528,600 Dallas ISD homestead, aircraft noise near the airport, event-day traffic and limited single-family inventory.

Around Town and Beyond
Estimated minutes off-peak by car from Addison Circle Park. These are planning estimates, so check a live map before relying on any of them.
From Addison Station on Arapaho Road, the DART Silver Line reaches DFW Airport Terminal B in about 32 minutes and UT Dallas in about 10.
Voters kept Addison in DART in May 2026 with 70.03 percent.
Residents join the Addison Athletic Club for a one-time $10 fee, renewed yearly at no charge, and get a free Dallas Public Library card voucher there.
The town counts 113 acres of parks and trails.
Addison is an ISO Class 1 community, the top fire protection classification insurers use.
Its water is bought from Dallas, whose system holds the state’s Superior rating.

The airport’s master plan recommends a 1,000-foot runway extension; it isn’t funded or approved.
Drive times are planning estimates from Addison Circle Park, not published figures, live traffic or measured routes; check a live map before you rely on them. Rush-hour and event-day traffic on the Dallas North Tollway, Belt Line Road and LBJ Freeway can stretch these times considerably. Silver Line times are from DART’s timetable effective October 19, 2026; the line doesn’t serve downtown Dallas. Population is the Census Bureau’s July 1, 2025, estimate. The median is Redfin’s ZIP 75001 three-month figure ending September 2026; that ZIP extends beyond town limits. The DART vote is the canvassed result. Athletic Club, library, park, fire and water details are from the Town of Addison and the Trust for Public Land. Airport operations and the noise program are from Addison Airport’s master plan materials; the toll rate is NTTA’s. Addison Junction timing is the Town’s projection. The tax estimate uses 2026 rates and homestead exemptions, including Dallas ISD’s 10 percent local option, assumes Dallas County’s Proposition A passes, and is an illustration, not a quote; the CFB ISD side runs about $8,612. Association dues weren’t confirmed. Flood zones vary by parcel; check FEMA maps by address. No crime, school ranking or flood zone claims are made.

Addison incorporated in 1953 and is legally the Town of Addison, a home-rule municipality. It uses a council-manager form of government: an elected council sets policy and adopts the budget and tax rate, and a professional city manager appointed by the council runs daily operations.
The council is officially called the City Council even though Addison is a town. It’s generally described as a mayor and six members elected at large; confirm the seat structure in the town charter. This page doesn’t name council members.
Meetings are held at Town Hall, 15600 Addison Road, where the town moved in November 2025. Agendas and minutes are posted online, and residents can speak during public comment and serve on boards.
Most Addison addresses use ZIP code 75001 with “Addison, TX” as the mailing city. Some properties inside town limits, mainly toward the southeast, use 75254, which the Postal Service may list as “Dallas, TX.”
The mailing city doesn’t decide your local government. Property taxes, utilities, permits and town services follow the town boundary, not the ZIP code. ZIP 75001 also reaches beyond Addison into neighboring cities, so ZIP-level price figures include homes outside town.
To confirm a property is in Addison, look up the parcel on the Dallas Central Appraisal District site and check that the Town of Addison is listed among its taxing units.
Two districts serve Addison: Dallas ISD, covering most of town, and Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD, covering the southern section around Vitruvian Park. The line follows property location, not ZIP code or mailing city.
To check, use each district’s online school locator, or look up the parcel on the Dallas Central Appraisal District site, where the school district appears among the taxing units. Then confirm with the district’s enrollment office before you buy or lease.
The district also changes your tax bill. Dallas ISD’s 2026 rate is $0.985735 with a 10 percent local homestead exemption; CFB ISD’s is $0.9481 with none. This page gives district-level information only.
The Town of Addison cut its rate one cent to $0.5981 per $100 for fiscal 2027. Other 2026 rates: Dallas ISD $0.985735 or CFB ISD $0.9481; Dallas County $0.24865 if Proposition A passes, or $0.22465 if it fails; Parkland Hospital $0.212; and Dallas College $0.106575, proposed.
On an illustrative $528,600 homestead, owner under 65, I estimate about $8,237 a year in Dallas ISD or about $8,612 in CFB ISD if Proposition A passes, and about $101 less if it fails. CFB ISD comes out higher despite its lower rate because it offers no local-option homestead exemption.
Actual bills depend on certified values, exemptions and the homestead cap.
The Town of Addison grants a 20 percent homestead exemption and $60,000 for owners 65 and older or disabled, based on the appraisal district’s latest published table. Dallas County, Parkland and Dallas College each grant 20 percent and $100,000 at 65.
School districts give the state’s $140,000 homestead exemption. Dallas ISD adds a 10 percent local option and lists $95,000 at 65; CFB ISD lists $60,000. Both cap the school bill at 65.
Apply through the Dallas Central Appraisal District with its residence homestead application, using a Texas driver’s license or ID showing the property address. The usual deadline is April 30, and late applications are accepted for a limited time; confirm on DCAD’s site.
On May 2, 2026, Addison voters chose to stay in DART, with 70.03 percent in the official canvass, and approved a $55 million bond for new police facilities with 55.82 percent. The council canvassed both results on May 12, 2026.
On November 3, 2026, Addison voters are also deciding Dallas County Proposition A, which would set the county rate at $0.24865 per $100 for homelessness and mental-health programs. If it fails, the county rate falls to $0.22465. County tax bills are expected after the vote.
Read the official ballot language before you vote, and check registration and polling places with Dallas County Elections.
Start water and sewer service with Town of Addison Utility Billing at 972-450-7081, at the Addison Service Center, 16801 Westgrove Drive, and pay online through the town’s self-service portal. Addison buys its water from the City of Dallas.
For single-family homes, the town contracts with Community Waste Disposal: trash and recycling go out Monday, and trash only on Thursday, from 7 a.m. Don’t set items out before 6 p.m. the night before, and don’t bag recycling. Report a missed pickup to CWD at 972-392-9300, option 2.
Request bulk, brush and household hazardous waste pickup online at least 48 business hours ahead. Apartments and businesses use their own haulers.
Addison is in Texas’s competitive electric market, so you choose a retail electric provider while the local utility maintains the poles and wires; compare plans at powertochoose.org, checking contract length, the price at your expected usage, base charges and cancellation fees.
Natural gas is generally provided by Atmos Energy; confirm for the specific address. For internet, check providers at the exact address on the FCC National Broadband Map, which lists technologies and advertised speeds.
Apartment and condo communities may have bulk or single-provider service agreements, so ask the property manager or association before you sign up. Report power outages to the wires utility, not your retail provider.
No. Addison doesn’t run its own public library. Instead, the town pays for residents’ access to a nearby system: its Dallas Public Library card voucher costs residents nothing.
Pick up the voucher at the Addison Athletic Club with proof of residency, then take it to any Dallas Public Library branch to get your card. The card also unlocks the library’s digital collections, including e-books and online databases.
Older town materials also offered a Farmers Branch library card; whether that option still exists in 2026 wasn’t confirmed. Policies change, so confirm current requirements with the Athletic Club at 972-450-7048 before you go.
The Addison Athletic Club is the town’s recreation center, generally listed at 3900 Beltway Drive. Membership is limited to Addison residents, their eligible dependents and town employees; extended-stay hotel guests don’t qualify.
Residents pay a one-time $10 fee, and membership renews each year at no charge with current proof of residency. Dependents from 3 months through 18, and full-time college students through 23, may qualify. A replacement card costs $10.
The club offers fitness equipment, courts and programs, and it’s where residents get library card vouchers. Some rooms and pavilions can be reserved for a fee. Call 972-450-7048 for hours, which change by season.
Addison Airport is a town-owned general aviation airport with one runway. It handled about 124,000 operations in fiscal 2025, down from a 1992 peak, according to the airport. Its control tower runs 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., but the airport is open around the clock.
The town runs a voluntary noise program with a designated noise-sensitive area and operator outreach; the airport says it has no enforcement options. Any curfew would require a federally approved study taking two to three years.
The 2026 master plan recommends a 1,000-foot runway extension, which isn’t funded or approved. Visit at different times of day before you buy, and report concerns to airport operations at 972-533-6286.
Addison Station, 4925 Arapaho Road next to Addison Circle, is on DART’s Silver Line and doubles as a bus hub. The line runs east to Richardson and Plano and west to Carrollton and DFW Airport Terminal B; it doesn’t go to downtown Dallas.
Under the schedule effective October 19, 2026, weekday trains run about every 30 minutes at peak times and hourly otherwise, with hourly weekend service. Approximate rides: DFW Terminal B, 32 minutes; UT Dallas, 10; CityLine/Bush, 16; and Shiloh Road in Plano, 23.
Pay with the GoPass app or station machines; check fares at dart.org. The town also runs Addison Orbit on-demand rides for $1.50.
Addison Junction is a planned $240 million, 14-acre district next to the Silver Line station and Addison Circle Park, developed with Quadrant Investment Properties. Plans include a mass-timber office building of about 155,550 square feet, a 140-room hotel, 30,000 square feet of entertainment space, an event venue called The Hangar and two garages.
The plan includes no housing. The town is contributing about $40 million for infrastructure and garages. The council approved the development agreement in September 2025 and zoning on February 10, 2026.
As of June 2026, the town says it looks forward to construction in 2027. No office tenants had been announced, so treat timelines and job projections as estimates.
No. At a January 6, 2026, work session, the City Council ended Taste Addison after about 30 years; a town presentation said the 2025 festival lost about $760,000. The town says it will promote its restaurants through year-round efforts instead, such as a possible restaurant week.
Kaboom Town!, the July 3 fireworks and airshow, continues at Addison Circle Park; CBS Texas reported that about 500,000 people were expected in 2026, a forecast rather than a count. Addison Oktoberfest continues each September, and Vitruvian Park hosts holiday lights.
Big events bring road closures, heavy traffic and parking limits around Addison Circle, so check VisitAddison.com for dates and plan ahead.
Addison allows short-term rentals, stays under 30 days in residential districts, with registration under Chapter 22 of its code. You must register with Development and Neighborhood Services before operating or advertising, and an advertisement counts as evidence of a violation.
The rental must be the owner’s primary residence. Registration costs $115 and renews yearly, with a late fee of twice that amount. Operators must provide working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and a fire extinguisher, and pay hotel occupancy taxes.
Earlier rules also capped occupancy and banned exterior signs; confirm current limits with the town. Apartment leases and association rules may be stricter than the ordinance.
Building permits come from Development and Neighborhood Services at the Addison Service Center, 16801 Westgrove Drive, 972-450-2880. Most structural, electrical, plumbing and mechanical work, plus new fences, pools and spas, needs a permit and inspections; confirm the specifics with the department.
Apply and schedule inspections through the town’s online permitting portal. Pools need compliant barriers and fencing, and fences must follow height and placement rules, especially in front yards and on corner lots.
Homes in associations or planned developments may also need association architectural approval before work begins. Unpermitted work can delay a sale or require costly corrections, so ask before hiring a contractor.
Many Addison homes come with an association, especially condos, townhomes and planned communities such as Addison Circle, Addison Grove and part of Midway Meadows, where the Addison Timbers association covers about 104 homes.
Dues vary widely by property type. Condo associations often cover building insurance, exterior maintenance and amenities, which raises monthly fees, while townhome and single-family associations usually cost less. No verified dues ranges were found, so treat any figure as an estimate.
Before you buy, get the resale certificate and governing documents, and review the budget, reserves, special assessments, rental restrictions and architectural rules. Association rules can be stricter than town ordinances.
Search the address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center at msc.fema.gov to see its official flood zone and any map changes. Addison drains partly through Farmers Branch Creek at Vitruvian Park; which creeks drain each neighborhood wasn’t confirmed.
Contact the town’s public works and engineering staff for elevation certificates, local floodplain rules and permit requirements for work in a mapped floodplain.
A low-risk zone doesn’t mean no risk, since heavy rain can still flood streets and low lots. Ask sellers about past flooding and claims, and get a flood insurance quote even if your lender doesn’t require one; federal policies usually take 30 days to take effect.
Town Hall moved to 15600 Addison Road in November 2025; the front desk is 972-450-7000. Report potholes, streetlights, code concerns and other non-emergency problems with the Addison FixIT app, handled during business hours.

The town’s $41 million Midway Road reconstruction between Spring Valley and Keller Springs roads added new pavement, drainage, water and sewer lines, signals, landscaping and a 10-foot side path. The project was in final punch-list work; its completion date wasn’t confirmed. Specific Belt Line Road projects for 2026 and 2027 weren’t confirmed.
At Village on the Parkway, 5100 Belt Line Road, Flight Club opened a social darts venue on October 23, 2026, joining other entertainment tenants, and a Hofbräuhaus location has been delayed by permitting to early 2027.
Nearby, the town is designing public infrastructure for Addison Junction beside the Silver Line station.

Addison began as an 1888 railroad coaling stop and grew into a 4.4-square-mile town of about 17,200 with an airport, a Silver Line station and more than 180 restaurants. Most homes here are apartments, so ownership is a game of specific pockets and fine print. I sort out the details that matter here, and the awkward parts are named.
Addison homes fall in Dallas ISD or Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD. Dallas ISD adds a 10 percent local homestead exemption and CFB ISD adds none, so on an illustrative $528,600 homestead I estimate about $8,237 a year in Dallas ISD and $8,612 in CFB ISD, even though CFB’s rate is lower. I check the district on the appraisal record for every address.
Some homes inside Addison carry a Dallas mailing city and ZIP 75254, and ZIP 75001 reaches beyond town. Taxes, permits and services follow the town boundary. I confirm the Town of Addison appears among the taxing units before we talk price.
Redfin’s ZIP 75001 median was $528,595 for the three months ending September 2026, up 11.3 percent, on just 24 September sales at 97.8 percent of list. October closings ran from about $215,000 for a two-bedroom condo to nearly $800,000 for new single-family homes. I price against the same property type, never the ZIP median.
Addison Airport’s draft master plan recommends a 1,000-foot north runway extension, a wider runway and a relocated engine run-up area, with final recommendations due by December 2026. Its noise program is voluntary; enforced limits would need a federal Part 161 study. I check noise contours and flight paths before the option period ends.
Addison Junction, a $240 million district by Quadrant Investment Properties, plans a mass-timber office building, a 140-room hotel and entertainment space, with no housing; zoning was approved February 10, 2026. A $55 million police and courts facility, approved May 2, 2026, is expected to open in fiscal 2029.
Voters kept Addison in DART on May 2, 2026. The Silver Line serves Addison Station, and Addison Orbit rides cost $1.50. DART staff offered to fund a year of Orbit after the pilot ended in October, pending approval. I tell buyers to check current service rather than assume it.
Addison has real trade-offs: limited single-family inventory, condo and townhome association dues, airport noise in parts of town, Tollway and Belt Line traffic, event-day crowds, a still-tolled tunnel and a tax bill near $8,200 on a median-priced homestead. If any of that is a dealbreaker, you will hear it from me first.
Confirm the town and school district on the appraisal record. Second, get the association resale certificate early for condos and townhomes. Third, check airport noise contours and flight paths. Fourth, if you plan to rent short-term, know that Addison requires yearly registration and primary residence. Fifth, file your homestead and over-65 exemptions with the Dallas Central Appraisal District. And sixth, sign up for Addison Alert and the county’s property fraud alert after closing.
Addison-specific things to raise with all four. Freddie Mac’s 30-year average was 7.32 percent on October 22, 2026, and the 15-year was 6.68 percent. Most Addison homes fall under the 2026 conforming limit of $832,750. For an FHA loan on a condo, the project must be on HUD’s approved condo list or qualify for single-unit approval, so check before writing an offer. Make sure the payment estimate uses the right school district, about $2.11 to $2.15 per $100 before exemptions, plus association dues. I recommend these lenders based on their expertise and service. I do not receive compensation for referrals.
Either is fine. I answer my own phone, and you will never be routed to a call center or handed to a junior agent. Send me an address and I will tell you whether it’s inside town limits, which school district it’s in, what the association charges, how close the flight paths run and what the full tax bill looks like.

Confirm exemptions on the appraisal record. Market figures are Redfin’s ZIP 75001 three-month median and recent closings; Redfin’s own pages show a different single-month figure, samples are small and the ZIP extends beyond town limits. Mortgage rates are Freddie Mac weekly averages; the conforming limit is FHFA’s. Airport, Addison Junction, police facility and Orbit details are from the Town of Addison and Addison Airport; timelines are plans that may change.
