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. Yeah that would suck

I live 30 mile south of Granbury , but usually go there 3-4 times per month. If you find a house you like you better suck it up. The inventory for homes for sale is low compared for what is has been in the past. You might contact Couto Homes or Al Couto for a new home. They both are great home builders. They build custom and spec homes and I know they have existing inventory. They built mine and our sons homes both in Stephenville and did a great job.

Current Mayor is a drunk. Got his 3rd DUI, resigning today according to the news media.
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

so the main things I get from this thread is 1. Traffic sucks 2. Mr. Johnston will only have to drive once a week. You missed the part about it being a great town/area.

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. LOL. I heard nearly that exact same quote at a Chamber of Commerce meeting in Cleburne with my grandfather when he was President. The quote was "...when the new highway gets built to Fort Worth, Cleburne will be the Plano of the South" This was about the time when black-tar heroin was rampant in Plano and all over the news (channels 4, 5, 8 or 11) and the butt of jokes. I thought, "why would we ever want big city trouble in our small quiet town?" The Gulch reference was in my wheelhouse - thanks for the memories!

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. they never planned on massive over population moving out there

LOL thanks for all the feedback. As for traffic, I would commute once a week but would get out and about through the week (but not much). We found a great house north of where the HEB is but the house went under contract only after 1 day on the market. I bid 35k over asking and I guess that still was not good enough. Real estate market is crazy.

We bought a house here north of HEB 3 years ago, move from West Texas. We love it and would never move back. Traffic is kinda crazy but it sure is in West Texas too lol.

We used to love going to The Gulch. We would all pile into a buddy's mom's suburban and make a day out of it and the army surplus store. I was shocked when I went through town a couple of years ago and did not recognize most of it! It's amazing how much it's changed. They do have a Braums, so that is worth quite a bit to me.

If you like Bass Fishing Squaw Creek is off the charts in the winter time, You can easy put 100 in the boat during the winter months. Except it’s closed to the public.

COVID is over with It should be open soon again, and it will be off the charts again. Especially when it first opens up. We were fishing it last winter and sticking 100 bass per day many on topwater, Good times.
