Mansfield film studio relocators

Moving to Mansfield for Super Studios? Crystal can help you land housing that fits the job.

Super Studios USA is a planned Mansfield film and TV campus, not a reason to buy the first house you see online. Crystal helps you compare cities, commute, and homes by phone, text, and FaceTime.

Super Studios USA is planned for about 75 acres at 561 Easy Drive, Mansfield, TX 76063. Phase 1 is a registered sound-stage project, not a live hiring lot. If you are relocating for this work, start with the timeline and the city fit. Crystal Sanchez, Realtor with eXp Realty in North Texas, can help you compare Mansfield housing against Midlothian, Burleson, south Arlington, and Crowley before you tour.

What Super Studios Mansfield is

The developer is Super Studios USA LLC, tied in press to filmmaker Angel Gracia and Santa Clarita, California creative shop Creative Tank. Named partners in reporting include Arco Construction, Gensler, and Lineage Legacy Partners. Richard Judson has been named as CFO. The public framing is an AI-enabled film and TV “city in a city”: stages plus housing, food, hotel, and a trade school on one Mansfield site.

75

Acres in Mansfield

Site address: 561 Easy Drive, Mansfield TX 76063, in Tarrant County. About 10 phases over roughly five years on a ~$750M master plan.

81k

Phase 1 square feet

TDLR filing: new sound stage, attached office, and parking. About 81,000 sf. Estimated $50M. Press describes four ~18,000 sf stages plus ~42,000 sf of office, with AI / post / data on the top floor.

$1

Land deal, not a job offer

Mansfield Economic Development Corporation sold about 21.5 acres for $1 in early 2025, plus 100% phase-1 impact-fee reimbursement once occupied. That is an incentive, not proof the campus is finished.

Hardest Phase 1 fact: Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation TABS #TABS2026017027, registered April 7, 2026, status Project Registered. Construction dates on that filing: start August 1, 2026; complete June 1, 2027. Project Registered is not a City of Mansfield building permit.

Honest timeline and job types

Do not move this month because you assume a soundstage job is waiting. Angel Gracia has said crew migration for sound, camera, and costume takes longer than the building. Construction and vendor work come first.

  1. Now through August 2026

    Design, vendor, and construction interest. This is not a live production lot. If you are coming for a construction or trade role, housing still needs a real commute plan around 561 Easy Drive.

  2. 2027, if the August 2026 start holds

    First stages are targeted for June 2027 on the TDLR filing. That is a target, not a locked opening-day promise.

  3. Crew housing later

    Sound, camera, and costume relocators should plan for later than the first concrete pour. Crystal can help you rent or buy on a timeline that matches the actual job, not the press rendering.

Full-build claims in developer and press materials, labeled here as plans: eight stages; about 800 condos or townhomes; a hotel; 430,000-plus sf of retail; parks and water; a trade school for production assistants; mini data centers. Job figures cited in reporting: roughly 4,000–4,400 construction jobs and 2,600–2,700 permanent jobs at full build. Earlier Evans comments used about 2,000 jobs. Hoped users include Netflix, HBO, Hulu, Paramount+, and Peacock originals. Hoped is not signed.

Nearby production context: Taylor Sheridan / SGS and Paramount at AllianceTexas in Fort Worth, about 20 miles away. Texas film incentive is now $300 million over two years through 2035 (SB 22). Those facts explain why studios look at North Texas. They do not mean Super Studios has your offer letter.

Where to live near the Mansfield film studio

Housing pull from this site is Mansfield, Midlothian, Burleson, south Arlington, and Crowley. Crystal already covers those cities. The commute that matters is the drive to 561 Easy Drive, plus whatever other DFW work you still have.

City starting points for Super Studios relocators
City Why buyers look here What Crystal compares
Mansfield TX Closest daily life to the Easy Drive site and ZIP 76063. Neighborhood, builder vs resale, school boundary at the address, US-287 / SH-360 / I-20, and payment after tax and insurance.
Midlothian TX South-of-Mansfield option when you want more space or a different inventory mix. Newer construction, utilities, taxes, and whether the extra drive is worth it. See the Mansfield vs Midlothian guide.
Burleson TX Southwest DFW option if Fort Worth access still matters. Drive time to Mansfield vs Fort Worth, home age, and whether Burleson or Crowley is the better map.
South Arlington Useful when you need central DFW access and are not locked to one Mansfield street. Older-home condition, commute, and how south Arlington compares with Kennedale or Mansfield.
Crowley TX Another southwest starting point for buyers comparing value and Fort Worth routes. Inventory, commute, and whether Crowley actually shortens your week or just looks cheaper online.

How Crystal helps Super Studios relocators

  1. City before house

    She starts with work location, timing, budget, and whether you need Mansfield proper or can live in Midlothian, Burleson, south Arlington, or Crowley.

  2. FaceTime tours from California

    Crystal can walk the street, layout, light, storage, drainage, and what listing photos skip. See what she checks on a FaceTime tour.

  3. A trip that is worth the flight

    If you fly in, the showing list should already be narrowed. Use the South DFW city finder and the California to South DFW guide before you book the weekend.

Super Studios Mansfield FAQ

When does Super Studios open?

Phase 1 construction is slated for August 1, 2026, with a June 1, 2027 completion target on TDLR TABS #TABS2026017027. That filing is Project Registered, not a city building permit. Treat 2027 as the first-stage target if the start date holds.

Is Netflix coming?

Hoped, not signed. Press and developer comments name Netflix, HBO, Hulu, Paramount+, and Peacock as hoped users. Crystal will not treat that as a signed production deal.

Where should crew live?

Compare Mansfield, Midlothian, Burleson, south Arlington, and Crowley. Crystal helps you pick the city from commute, budget, and home condition, then the house.

Can I tour from California?

Yes. Crystal does FaceTime walkthroughs and can plan the in-person trip after the city list is honest. Call or text (817) 888-8392.
