No part of Cedar Hill is closer to us than the center of town. Pro Appliance Care is at 1 East Belt Line Rd, Cedar Hill, TX 75104, near US-67, and both historic Old Town and the Uptown Boulevard area are just minutes away. For a refrigerator that quits on a Sunday night or a washer stuck mid-cycle, short drive time matters.
Old Town: Cedar Hill's Original Neighborhood
Cedar Hill was settled in 1846 around land donated by early settler Abraham Hart. The town square was set aside in 1847, and the town plat was filed in 1871 with the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad. The city describes Old Town, or Historic Downtown, as running roughly from West Belt Line Road on the north to Highway 67 on the east, south to Cooper at Broad Street, and west a few blocks past the railroad tracks.
The streets around the square still hold some of the oldest buildings in town, including the two-story "Gingerbread House" on South Broad Street, believed to be the oldest standing structure in Cedar Hill. Since 2006, the city's Historic Designation Marker program has identified significant buildings in the area. Downtown also hosts the annual fall festival, Country Day on the Hill.
Appliances in older houses
Older homes near downtown come with their own quirks. Kitchens were not designed around today's appliances, so we often find:
- Refrigerators squeezed into tight alcoves with little room to breathe, which makes them run hot and long in summer. See refrigerator repair.
- Washers and dryers in small utility rooms, closets, or enclosed porches, sometimes with long or awkward dryer vent runs. See dryer repair.
- Older gas ranges that still work well but have worn igniters, thermostats, or valves. See stove and range repair.
- Electrical circuits that were not designed for the load of several modern appliances at once.
Uptown Village and the Uptown Boulevard Area
Uptown Village at Cedar Hill opened on March 12, 2008, at FM 1382 and US-67, next to Uptown Boulevard and Pleasant Run Road. It was the first open-air regional shopping center in the Best Southwest area and has since been renamed Hillside Village. The Cedar Hill Government Center at 285 Uptown Blvd opened the same year, housing both city and school district offices.
The housing around this part of town is a mix: apartment communities, townhomes, and older single-family streets. In apartments and townhomes, the appliances are usually compact or stacked, and space is tight:
- Stacked washer-dryer units where the dryer won't heat or the washer won't drain. See washer repair.
- Over-the-range microwaves that stop heating or have a broken door latch. See microwave repair.
- Narrow dishwashers and top-freezer refrigerators that get heavy use in small kitchens.
Renting? Check first. If you rent an apartment or townhome, the appliances may belong to the landlord or management company. Read your lease or call the office before you book a repair. Some leases require the owner to approve or arrange appliance service. If you own the appliance, or the owner gives the OK, we are glad to help.
