But, that said....I would highly recommend the Ryan Place, Mistletoe Heights, Berkeley or Fairmount neighborhoods. Your husband would have excellent proximity to downtown (Pier 1), Arc Park (just off of I30) and Cleburne (I 35). The Lily B. Clayton/McLean/Paschal schools are among the best in FW, and you are very close to parks, the zoo, churches, shopping.

I love Fort Worth. It doesn't work for everybody who wants the more homogenous suburban life, but it works for many people.

Thank you for this comment. I thought i was the only other person on here that had the same viewpoint. I really have a hard time understanding what the draw is to places like burleson, heb, keller ect.

I agree with LuvsFW and wftw. Families can have an amazing life in Fort Worth proper if you do your homework. I personally know many who do. I think for many others though it's easier to follow the crowd and go to the 'burbs. Perhaps less risk, but also much less return! But hey, to each his/her own.
