Weatherford
Located just 20 minutes west of Fort Worth, the city of Weatherford prides themselves on tradition and history. Known as the “Peach Capital of Texas” for growing deliciously sweet peaches which is celebrated each year at the Parker County Peach Festival. Residents can lead a more rural lifestyle than other surrounding cities, while still able to commute into the Metroplex for work.
—NORTHWEST Denton
Its has been four years since Denton broke the population mark of over 100,000 and the city has committed to accommodating the growth with resources and services. 41% of Denton residents have a less than 15 minutes commute to work which leaves more time to enjoy the trendy downtown area, local museums, and the year-around music and event festivities. One of the major employers is the mostly commuter school University of North Texas which means college kids are plentiful around town.
Flower Mound
Low land prices on the scenic terrain led to residential growth in the 1990’s, but expansion is only done with a master plan to monitor zoning and building density in mind. The population is estimated at over 60,000 with 20,797 housing units which are 93 percent owned homes. 14 of the 19 schools operated by Lewisville ISD, which serves Flower Mound, are rated exemplary.
Keller
Last year Money magazine named Keller #7 of “Best Places to Live” for all the reasons the 38,000 plus people that live there enjoy. Keller boasts an extremely low crime rate, access to an excellent recreation, park and trail system, and diverse housing opportunities. DFW Airport is just nine miles east and the light rail can be accessed seven miles south which positions Keller as a great suburb outside Dallas. In addition, all students living in the city attend Keller ISD which is an exceptional district with a reputation for working well with special needs children.
