Potentially moving to this general area. Anyone have any feedback on areas to seek/avoid, school districts, or any other general feedback?
Add tolls into your calculus. It's like $8 or something each way from Cleburne to town, Godley is probably 2/3 of that. Doing it 2x/day in 2 cars you may be able to add $100k or more to your mortgage for the same monthly amount and be closer.Aggie1205 said:
Interesting feedback so far. How is driving from Godley to South Fort Worth? Understand it's not a long distance but sometimes smaller roads can be bad on commutes.
Gentrys- Your wife VERY likely had my dad as a teacher at some point, maybe. When did she graduate?GentrysMillTX10 said:
We are building in Godley now...Timber Creek to be exact. My wife is from Godley and her mom retired as elementary principal a few years ago. My wife is a teacher and is hoping to start with Godley this fall.
LOTS of growth recently. If you want a half acre, prices start around $340k at the moment. That's up about $25k since the first of the year!!

While we love where we are, we do sometimes wonder "what if...."
Funny story: when we were looking at a house in Godley, we wanted to show my parents. So they hopped in the car with us and as we were driving out that way and getting closer, my dad started talking about the land he used to own in Godley, pointing out landmarks, saying "Yeah, and we would turn here...wow, we are getting close. And then this turn, wow...how ironic." And then as we pulled up to the house, he said, "This was our land...." He got real quiet, and almost whispered...."we sold this land........." and then he basically turned green, looking like he was going to throw up. There was a natural gas well on what used to be his land. He sold it in the mid/late '80s to pay for looming college tuition for my brothers. :/

Hm....he may have transitioned out of the classroom by early 2000s and into full time administration by then. I'll ask.

So your dad is named Jimmy? My mother in law, Melinda Reynolds, is sitting here telling me all about your family.
