Keller named #7 best place to live by Money Magazine
|
|
7. Keller, TX Looking for bang for your housing buck? Consider this Dallas/Fort Worth suburb. Home values rose nearly 6% in Keller last year. The economy is just as healthy. Energy has kept Texas going strong, and major offices of FedEx, Fidelity Investments, and travel company Sabre Holdings lie just outside Keller. No wonder this town, which boasts immaculate parks and a spanking-new town center, has seen its population triple since 1990. "We keep hearing about this recession," says Tracey Ramirez, 49, a teaching aide in Keller, "but we don't really feel it here." |

D Magazine rates Keller among Top 10 Best Suburbs
Full Description:
D Magazine placed Keller in its Top 10 of Best Suburbs, one of only three Tarrant County cities on the list. The full story is published in the magazine’s July 2008 issue and was released on the magazine’s Web site this week.
Cities were ranked based on four factors: safety, education, housing values and ambiance. The magazine citied Keller’s affordability compared to neighboring cities, its network of bike trails, the Arthouse at Keller Town Center development as well as new single-family home construction. The article also mentions the rural charm that remains amid the city’s many amenities, as a sign proclaimed that goats were for sale just down the street from an upscale housing development.
Keller’s low rate of violent crimes, TAKS and SAT scores of Keller ISD students and per-student expenditures, increases in home values, ambiance and air quality combined to put the city on the list.

Stability in the Local DFW Housing Market
The Dallas Market was recently named as the 4th most stable housing market in the US by AOL Real Estate. When you hear Dallas that generally includes the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex Area.
4. Dallas, Texas
Median home price: $156,500
Annual price change from 2006: 1.7%
Projected price change to 2008: 5.45%
Just a few years ago, a 5.45% price increase wasn't especially remarkable, but in today's climate that return looks pretty good. Dallas also benefits from strong job and population growth; an abundance of affordable housing stock makes the market very price-inelastic, helping to shield Dallas from the nationwide bust. |
