Where to live in Ft. Worth area?

[konahoss]

I've lived and worked in Keller for the last 28 years or so, I've done a LOT of work all over Tarrant, Denton, Wise, Parker and surrounding counties. I wouldn't live in Keller or Southlake for love nor money anymore. There are still some good folks around, but the influx of people from "everywhere else" has screwed up both towns. The traffic in Keller is sickening.....there are no green lights, only red.....and there's one of those every 30 feet.

Oh and I went to Keller schools, and I think they SUCK!

I agree with the influx of people coming in to Keller, but my daughter loves it there so that's where I am keeping here.

I travel alot, so I don't deal with the traffic much, but I agree that 1709 is crap now. I remember 4 years ago, it only took me 25 min to get to Lake Grapevine. Now it's an hour because of traffic.

Also, I guess technically we are in City of Fort Worth, but Keller ISD. 76244 used to be listed as Keller, now it shows Fort Worth.

I kinda fond of Keller.

+1 for Burleson.
Although I'd also recommend the outskirts of benbrook (like on the way to granbury) or willow park/aledo area.

Aledo

If you want to be out of Ft Worth proper, I would look west - Aledo,Willow Park, Hudson Oaks, Weatherford.

Saginaw, Rhome or Haslet are all pretty nice places.

I live in Weatherford now. Love it. Still has the small town feel, and its growing fast. Easy commute to Down town.

THIS.

I am up North of FW in Keller, but I would still choose one of the areas to the West.

I would go south or west.the traffic north you wont like.

Benbrook, Aledo, Willow Park, Weatherford, Azle

^ this along with Burleson which is south like some of the other guys have mentioned. West of the metroplex is becoming really nice and Burleson and/or some parts of Crowley would be the only place south I would consider nice (with the exception of a couple neighborhoods). Now north of Fort Worth is really nice, Keller, Grapevine, Southlake, Roanoke, etc., but your commute to downtown would be lengthy if you worked a normal hour job.

I love Burleson. Nice community

Agreed.
