Keller

 

Poised less than 30 minutes northeast of Fort Worth, the radiant city of Keller is an ideal blend between big-city convenience and small-town charisma. Keller’s roots were laid in the mid-19th century as a stopping point along the Texas and Pacific Railway, and the city has managed to retain a primarily residential layout ever since. Newer developments like the dynamic Keller Town Center have popped up to keep the city’s mid-sized population outfitted with their everyday needs.

 

Keller offers many real estate options to potential buyers, ranging from show-stopping grandiosity to upscale comfort. Those in the market can browse palatial, multimillion-dollar estates tucked away in private communities, spacious executive homes in traditional designs, and mid-sized, single-family homes in desirable neighborhoods.

 

Architectural styles can vary greatly, too, running the gamut from classic southern glamor to stately brick new-builds. Keller’s market is also appealing to discerning buyers thanks to its surplus of large lots, either already equipped with a remarkable home or primed for building a custom property.

 

• Proximity to Fort Worth and DFW International Airport
• Thriving arts scene
• Residential feel just minutes from shopping and dining

There’s a reason Keller has been frequently ranked as one of America’s finest small towns and one of the best places to live in Texas on lists for CNN/Money Magazine and Fort Worth. The small but mighty town is packed with gorgeous natural resources, plentiful public amenities and facilities, award-winning schools, and a top-notch family atmosphere.

 

While Keller's retail and commercial offerings apart from its trove of delectable culinary hotspots tend to be limited to independent boutiques, grocers, and lifestyle services, the city is less than an hour from some of the finest shopping destinations in all of Texas. Among them, the three-story Galleria Dallas mall lies a mere 35 minutes east and promises a collection of over 100 retailers, including luxury brands like Louis Vuitton and Gucci.

 

Keller is, however, brimming with exciting restaurant options and plenty of entertainment. The MovieHouse & Eatery Keller, for instance, is a Cinépolis establishment that pairs fine dining with enjoying the latest cinema releases. Craving something that will expand the culinary palate for an out-of-this-world flavor experience? Boca 31’s Latin street food never fails to impress, and the restaurant even features an ever-changing daily special.

 

The epitome of a neighborhood hangout, Keller Tavern’s laid-back atmosphere, and delicious pub food is a winning combination that delights every time. For fine dining and a chance to dig into an Allen Brothers steak, there’s nowhere better than Keller Chophouse, a local favorite that serves up cuisine special enough for every momentous occasion.

 

Keller houses an array of pristine local parks that are perfect for family outings, exploring nature, or simply taking a pause from life to decompress and unwind. Athletes and those with children will want to check out the Keller Sports Park, where amenities such as lighted fields for baseball, soccer, and football are all available. Here, too, are equestrian trails, tennis courts, fishing spots, picnic pavilions, and five concession buildings.

 

The adventure junkie can easily express their need for non-stop adrenaline in Keller, which is surrounded by thrilling amusement parks and centers. Urban Air Adventure Park in nearby Southlake is an indoor gem that has everything from bumper cars and trampolines to virtual reality games and a kid-friendly wipeout course.

 

Others might choose to venture just 40 minutes south to the Six Flags Over Texas park. At this bustling location, visitors can take their pick of incredible roller coasters, thrill rides, and family-oriented rides. Looking for an escape from the summer heat? Lake Grapevine is just 35 minutes north and offers an endless array of watersports and outdoor activities.

 

Keller is home to a number of excellent schools. Top educational opportunities include:
