The itty bitty town of Venus... and surrounding area
Hey all. So I may have found a house to rent on an acreage just outside of Venus (share with another lady). I have never been to that area and have no idea what to expect. Is this is a nice town? Are there many young people? Besides Ft. Worth, are there any closer towns to go out on the town or for dinner/movies? I am a 23 year old, single female, and I'm not going to know anyone. So I don't want to rent somewhere TOO quiet where I won't meet anyone or have anything to do. I have always lived in the country and enjoy rodeos, riding horses, dancing, etc. so I do like rural areas. I've never lived in town though, so maybe living in town would make it easier to meet people? 
Please give me your thoughts on the area. Thanks!  |

I've never been to Venus, per se, but when I go visit my daughter, I come very close to it. The town sign is right there where I make my turn, but I've not seen the town. It's nice in that area if you don't mind being very close to the hustle and bustle of city life. I take a back road to near Lillian from Highway 67 to a Farm to Market road...I think it's FM 2738. It's very nice on that stretch and I'm sure very similar to where you'll be.

Venus may appear tiny from the passersby along US67 but it is growing at a rapid clip (the population has more than doubled since 2000, from 910 to 2,300) due to southern expansion of the Metroplex, particularly the Midlothian area a few miles to the north. Midlothian and Waxahachie (pop. 27,000; about 12 miles east) both provide a bit of a nightlife, and the Metroplex reaches much further south than just Fort Worth; Mansfield (pop. 56,000) is only about 15 min. north of Venus.
I've always been fond of this little town, it's very quaint (for now anyhow), and it does appear to have a future due to its proximity to D/FW. If you do decide to move there, welcome to the area  . |

As it is, you won't be far from too many things. Cleburne is twenty miles to the west, and Midlothian is closeby. You'll have plenty of solitude.
