Monte Anderson of Options Real Estate explains how we can rediscover DUNCANVILLE. The idea is to take a different look at the City of Duncanville in order to see the opportunities. Duncanville has the opportunity to become an urban based community where there is an abundance of local entrepreneurs and walkable/bikeable streets.
