Lived in Burleson in 2001 and 2002 and loved it

I lived just outside Burleson in the East Renfro area about 2 miles out of town and there is a very friendly close-knit group of people out there that I miss terribly. The entire neighborhood just seemed to take me under their wing and into their hearts. I grew up in a small town in WY where I was related to 3/4 of the town and I never felt at home there as much as I did in Burleson. If small neighborhoods where everyone knows everyone else is not your cup of tea then live inside city limits, not out on E. Renfro. Or try one of the larger Fort Worth suburbs instead. Burleson is just 6 miles south (touches it actually). By the way, most of Burleson is in a dry county meaning no alcohol sales unless you join one of the private clubs. Suited me just fine but not for everyone. Jobs pay reasonable and housing costs at the time were still reasonable but on the rise so I doubt that the info above is acurate anymore. Good school system, especially since my son had learning problems, they dealt well with him. Lots of new dining and shopping choices at the north end of Burleson.
The weather is nice with four seasons, mild winters and summers aren't as hot as you might expect with the light breezes that help on most summer days. We got snow only about 3 times in the 2 years I lived there, but beware because when it does snow more than an inch people just tend to stop on the interstates and not let those who can drive in snow pass by.
Plenty of culture and night life in nearby Fort Worth or Dallas.
