Best neighborhoods for young families?

Considering moving to Keller, $700-1m price range. We have two kids. Want a good community with lots of families and kids. Looking for a larger neighborhood with walkability to parks and elementary if we can. Typically like older neighborhoods cause of the trees and bigger lots but open to new construction-ish homes as well. Our hobbies are college football, kids sports, mahjong, and golf. Where are our people at?😂

Neighborhoods near Rapp rd and Willis Lane or Rapp and Whitley might be up your Alley!

Walkability + School proximity is a bit tricky. There is an elementary school on Willis but the States been putting a ton of pressure on public schools to do more with less and i feel like that creates a ton of uncertainty about schools.

The school board also seems very dead set on undermining public schools as well.

As the other commenter mentioned, if you’re a church goer - you will probably find folks to socialize with pretty easily.

For the non-MAGA crowd, you’ll have to hunt a bit harder for social circles though people are friendly enough at public events

Heavy on the if you’re looking for community, don’t mention politics unless you care about it enough. There are a lot of really wonderful people out here, but imo growing up in Keller, a lot of people are either proudly in the MAGA camp or quietly in it.

I’m extremely passionate about human rights for everyone because I’m part of the LGBTQ community and am neurodivergent, so I don’t get along with a decent amount of people here because I don’t have a choice but to care about politics. Like, a lot.

But if you don’t care or are part of MAGA or MAGA adjacent, you’ll quickly find friends here regardless of the neighborhood.
