Granbury, TX
I grew up in Granbury, TX -
9/14/2006Hi! I grew up in Granbury, TX but moved away right after HS when I joined the Army and I swore I would never go back (as most youngsters do). However, now that I am older and I have lived just about everywhere (overseas, New York, Oregon, Georgia, etc.) I miss the place terribly as I realize it really is a nice community with good values.
Over the last three years I have been visiting Granbury a lot as my mother still lives there and it is still my "home" and I have been very surprised and pleasantly pleased with the changes taking place in Granbury over the years. The area is growing and from what I can tell, overall the city and county are being managed well.
It appears as if Granbury is a great place to live and invest. The economy there is doing well, the schools are good and and there is plenty to do in terms of recreation, etc. It still has a small town feel yet has a lot of the ammenities required of the modern 30 or 40 something couple.

to the SoCal person asking about Burleson, Granbur -
9/14/2006I grew up in Burleson until HS then we moved to Granbury. I live in Las Vegas now, but am moving back to Fort Worth.
Granbury is a great little community and it is growing fast. I know you are looking for a lower cost of living and Granbury offers that while also offering the opportunity to make money (RE investments). I would love to tell you more about Granbury... I am not sure how we can contact each other... but I would love to exchange some emails with you.
I highly suggest you check out Granbury. I myself would move there, but my wife is a city girl and Ft. Worth is small enough for her! Eventually though I do hope to own a ranch out west of Granbury too!

The only people who love it never lived anywhere e -
9/14/2006Well, if living in Korea, Europe, Las Vegas, Portland (OR), Savannah (GA), Kansas City, and North Carolina, don't count as "anywhere else", then perhaps you're right. Otherwise, you don't know JACK!
You admit you have lived there you entire life, so go figure. If it is so bad, why not move? I thought like you UNTIL I lived elsewhere! After having been gone for over 20 years, I now realize how great a place Fort Worth is.
I had forgotten how nice a place it is, how kind the people are and yes, how inexpensive it is compared to most other places in the USA (especially the Eastern and Western USA).
Every place has it's pros and cons. If you think Texans love their gas-guzz'lin SUV's, then I suggest YOU are the one that has never lived any place else. I moved back to Ft. Worth from Vegas. That place is all about keep'n up with the Joneses. HUGE gas guzz'lin SUV's, H3 Hummers, S600 Mercedes, Land Rovers, BMW's, etc., etc., are every where! So please, if you're gonna throw something out there like that, be able to back it up!
Ann, I suggest you try moving some place else so that you actually have a point of reference. Otherwise, your comments are baseless as you obviously have never LIVED and WORKED anywhere else other than the area you so deride. Hey, I get it, maybe you just love the place so much you are trying to dissuade others from moving there...
