Yes, that IS a hefty statement, but Farmers Branch can back it up.
From the charming perspective of time at our Historical Park to the corporate corridors of Fortune 500 companies in our east and west side commercial districts, Farmers Branch is a 21st century is a community steeped in Texas heritage, but with one eye firmly fixed on the future.
And, while our business community provides the lifeblood of Farmers Branch, our neighborhoods in our residential core provide the heartbeat. Farmers Branch consists of many neighbors that have lived here for generations and other families that are just now discovering the awesomeness of living in “the Branch.” Our residents are treated to a historically low tax rate, world class services, amenities and facilities and special events where the community comes together in celebration throughout the year.
Residents can also choose from an increasingly diverse selection of housing options. From apartments and townhomes to brand new single-family rooftops and mature neighborhoods, Farmers Branch has it all. In fact, we offer attractive tax and cash incentives for residents to remove an older house and replace it with a newer one.
Transportation is also a plus. As we are strategically located in the near center of the Dallas County metro area, it is easy to get to anywhere from Farmers Branch. DFW International Airport and Dallas Love Field are both merely minutes away. We are bordered by two interstate highways and two tollways. And, Dallas Area Rapid Transit serves Farmers Branch with bus and light rail options.
Farmers Branch is also a wonderful place to learn. We have college campuses, kindergartens and everything in between. Brookhaven and Dallas Christian College are among the finest in the area. The selection of private schools in Farmers Branch is top quality. Likewise, the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District is progressively building on it’s always strong reputation as one of the most sought-after systems in DFW. And, although they cover more municipal territory than Farmers Branch, CFB’s partnership with Farmers Branch City leaders is entering a new era of progressive planning and campus enhancements that will directly benefit Farmers Branch students.
The Most Dynamic City in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex? We think so.
We think you will, too.
