My wife and I are looking to move and found a house in Granbury that we really like. I’m not too familiar with the area. Have any of you been there live there or done anything else there? Looking for opinions good and bad. I work at Dallas love field but will only have to go to the office once a week so I’m not too concerned about the drive.

Get a house on the east side, most new stores and such are opening on that side. Going through town is hell. Great little town with a very active downtown area and is growing like crazy, lots of good restaurants, bars and various entertainment.

Nice area, but the traffic...the idiot who designed the traffic flow on 377 should be drug out to the middle of the town square, stripped and caned.

Good thing he only has to drive it once a week.

Traffic does suck, but have no fear - TXDOT is on the case!  It's still a better place to live than a lot of the alternatives. One thing to be aware of is if the house you're looking at is outside the city limits but with city water, you'll likely get hammered with 1.5 times the standard city water rates. If you work in Dallas, you'll be fine with the traffic here. Between Granbury and an easy drive to Weatherford, you'll find most of what you need without having to go into Fort Worth. Feel free to PM me with any questions you may have.

Lots of big money about to come there. Just watch.

It’s a great town, but yes, the traffic is out of hand. Most traffic anywhere is during rush hour. ijohnston will only be out during rush hour one time each week.

No, he'll be in it every day unless he's a homebound hermit the other 6 days a week. There's never a good time to travel 377 through Granbury.

Between midnight and 6am is a breeze, makes you realize how long it takes during regular hours. The Cresson bypass will be complete in a couple of years so that'll help. Thankfully we have the Chisolm Trail toll road to get to FW.

Talked to a guy the other day who is a pretty savvy real estate investor. He told me that Granbury is going to be the new Plano. I hate to hear that.
