Where to live in Ft. Worth area?

[Vantage Point]

What are you looking for? A small slice of land on the out skirts, a newer development or an older home in a quiet neighborhood?

If I wanted to be in an established older neighborhood in the middle of town I would look in the TCU area or the nearby Tanglewood neighborhood. Pricey but nice.

Moving to Ft. Worth just as soon a my house in Humble sells. Looking to stay within a 30 or so minute commute to downtown. What say the Ft. Worth TBHers? Where should we look and what areas should we avoid?

Thanks

Now 30-minutes commute, it depends, what time of the day you want to drive it. Me, I live in Arlington and if I was to leave my house between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., it might take me longer than 30-minutes, but lets say 9:00 a.m., its about a 15-20 minute drive to downtown Fort Worth.

Keep on smiling....

If you like high taxes and utilities move to Southlake, my water bill was 745.00 last month. I live on 4 acres and about 1 1/2 is irrigated, put out a bunch of sod because my yard looked like a cow pasture from last years draught, had to water it a bunch to keep it alive, need a well ! Seriously, it is a nice area and close to everything, good luck.

I would say Aledo. Looks like they got it going on out there!

Benbrook, Aledo, Willow Park, Weatherford, Azle

[Wiederhold]

Weatherford is a very nice town. I live in a small subdivision several miles out of town. It has the small town country atmosphere but still has all of the restaurants, shopping, etc....that one needs.

No doubt, Weatherford

Crowley or burleson. I am technically in Burleson but grew up in Crowley

[rwoot]

My two cents
I live in Weatherford but do home inspections so I see lots of neighborhoods. Aledo is just west Fort Worth in a few years with higher taxes.
With the 30 min travel restriction time of day will effect your travel.
Annetta, Willow Park, Weatherford are all nice places out of the rat race.
Hurst, NRH are nice but the traffic stinks
Good luck

Aledo is where we live very good schools, country atmosphere, wide variety of home prices to choose from

[LastHurrah]

I love Burleson. Nice community

Another vote for the Weatherford or surrounding area. When you get up here let us know and us Parker Co. boys will have a gtg.
