Addison is a small, densely built town in Dallas County wedged between Dallas and Carrollton in the heart of the DFW Metroplex, with a population that hovers around 17,000 packed into just 4.4 square miles. Despite its tiny footprint, Addison punches far above its weight economically, thanks to a commercial and corporate tax base so large that the town has gone years without needing a residential property tax to fund its budget. It's home to Addison Airport, one of the busiest general aviation airports in the country, and has branded itself the restaurant capital of the Southwest with one of the highest concentrations of restaurants per capita of any city in the U.S. That density of offices, apartments, and hotels also means a lot of daily commuter and delivery traffic — and a steady flow of cars that get totaled, break down, or simply age out in Addison driveways and garages.

Geography of Addison

Addison sits along the Dallas North Tollway and Belt Line Road corridor in north-central Dallas County, completely surrounded by the city of Dallas to the east and south, Farmers Branch to the southwest, and Carrollton to the north and west. Its entire footprint is only about 4.4 square miles, making it one of the smallest incorporated towns in Texas by land area, yet one of the most densely developed, with office towers, hotels, and mid-rise apartments packed close to Addison Airport and the Dallas North Tollway.

Free towing is included anywhere in Addison and the surrounding area. You can find more about local services on the City of Addison's official website.

History of Addison

The area that became Addison was first settled in the mid-1840s under the Peters Colony land grant, with early pioneer families building homesteads along White Rock Creek. The community got its real economic start when the St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas Railway came through in 1888, prompting local landowners to donate land for a depot that turned the settlement into a shipping and trading point; the town was renamed Addison in 1902 in honor of postmaster Addison Robertson. Addison incorporated in 1953, and its modern identity took shape after Addison Airport opened in 1956 and voters legalized alcohol sales in 1976 — a decision that, combined with low commercial property tax rates, turned Addison into a magnet for restaurants, hotels, and corporate offices while most surrounding Dallas County communities stayed dry.

Culture of Addison

Addison's economy runs on its commercial tax base — corporate offices, hotels, and Addison Airport, a major general-aviation and corporate-jet facility that draws business travelers and aviation-related companies into the town. The airport and the dense office parks around Quorum Drive and the Dallas North Tollway support thousands of jobs in a town with a comparatively small residential population, which is part of why Addison has historically been able to keep residential property taxes low or nonexistent.

With around 180-plus restaurants packed into 4.4 square miles, Addison markets itself as having one of the highest restaurant-per-capita counts of any city in the country, anchored by events like Oktoberfest and the town's restaurant week promotions. That same density means limited driveway and garage space for residents dealing with a wrecked or non-running vehicle — a problem national online junk car buyers like Peddle and CarBrain, and regional operators, also serve in this corridor. CashMyCarTX offers Addison residents free towing and a same-day local cash offer without the need to haul a dead car to a lot yourself.
