Will Boyd Tx be an up and coming suburb now that the growth has reached Rhome Tx and Haslet is full?

Looks like a potentially good area to buy since it sits on the 114 and is a straight shot to Westlake / Southlake.

I think it will. The one worry is the Lake out there tends to be drought-prone. BTW, Boyd used to have a very famous resident. Peter Mayhew, the British-American actor, famous for playing Chewbacca. Mayhew married Mary Luker a native of Texas, and they lived in Boyd since 2000. Sadly, he died in 2019 at the age of 73.

Not "THE" 114! This is Texas, not California!

Boyd? Maybe by 2050. Still a bit on the edge of town. What about 35 miles to downtown Ft. Worth and I'm thinking 1hr drive?
I can't remember the old rule, but I think 45 mins was the rule for max time people wanted to commute. Maybe depends on job growth on far North side of Ft. Worth that could then meet that 45min rule.

Might also depend on who wins the WFH fight. If the employees win, then you can change the 45 minute rules to 90 minute rule. If boss wins, then Boyd probably stays on the 2050 plan.

Been a while since I've been there. Any big new housing developments going in? How is the EDC person or do they even have one?

Agree. In Dallas and in all of Texas, people do not use "the" before a highway. That's a California, Arizona, and Las Vegas thing.
