The honest part
What to know first
- Fort Worth is about 36 miles away and Dallas about 48.
Not its strength: transit options, vibrant, big-city energy, a real downtown, restaurants, shopping, parks and trails, lake days, new construction, luxury homes.
Not rated yet: walkable, nightlife, golf, land and acreage, horses welcome, established neighborhoods. That means I haven't confirmed it either way, not that it isn't here.
Get outside

A pavilion, playground, tennis court and walking trail, plus a splash pad open from the last weekend in May through August.
