A growing suburban community on the outskirts of downtown Denton
At the woodsy fringe of quirky Denton, North Denton residents enjoy quiet surroundings that are less built up than many nearby communities. The evolving region is well known for housing the University of North Texas campus and offers wide-ranging housing options. Within a mile's drive is an expanding downtown, so well-known for its musical talent and big-city arts that the city of Denton has found itself on Paste Magazine's list of the nation's Best Music Scenes. According to Alex Mauricio, a Realtor with Living Vogue LLC and UNT Graduate, Fry Street is the epicenter of the area's prominent music scene and the perfect place to catch live music.

New construction and large plots of land in Denton
Many North Denton homes were built after the 2010s, offering new buyers a turnkey move-in experience. Prices start around $350,000 and climb to $500,000 for a brand-new house with 3,000 square feet of living space and an attached garage. The recent construction boom speaks to the allure of this peripheral town, with more buyers prioritizing peace and quiet. Large pieces of land continue to hit the market and prove to be a hot commodity for buyers interested in building their dream residence in the rural southern half of Fort Worth. "There isn't as much open land in other areas in the DFW Metroplex," says Jeff Sekula, Realtor at Bian Realty. "Listings only last a couple of weeks on the market here." Properties range from 12 to 50 acres and often sell well over a million dollars, with some exceeding $7 million.

Denton ISD's Billy Ryan High School and surrounding universities
The Denton Independent School District is highly regarded and serves the county. Each top-rated public school is within a 15-minute drive away, even for those living in the far ends of town. Many North Denton kids begin learning at Ginnings Elementary, which shares a B rating from Niche with Strickland Middle School. Students continue on to Billy Ryan High. With several state championship titles, Billy Ryan is an athletic powerhouse and earns an A-minus from Niche. Every year, Billy Ryan High School and their rival, Guyer High School, compete in the Crosstown Showdown football game. It is considered one of the best and longest-standing high school rivalries in North Texas and has even been televised on ESPN 2 and Fox Sports Network. The community's support of its young athletes spans all Denton high schools. Each team plays its home football games under the bright lights of the 12,000-seat CH Collins Athletic Complex stadium. There are several schools to pick from when considering earning a degree, including the University of North Texas, Texas Woman's University and North Central Texas Challenge.

Within 15 miles of state parks and Lewisville Lake
Kids in the neighborhood can head to CH Collins Athletic Complex for football games or roll over to the skate park next door to tackle the ramps and rails. Water Works Park is next door, hosting visitors for fun at the pool. Residents can pay for an annual membership to access the park's amenities. The water park offers plenty of ways to cool off, from fast-moving water slides to undulating wave pools to a lazy river. Water Works Park also hosts 'Dive-In Movie' events, where visitors can float in the wave pool while they watch family-friendly films. North Denton is also immediately north of Lewisville Lake, a sprawling reservoir filled with bass and catfish. The Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center is a regular hiking spot for locals to explore the wetlands trail and bottomland forest or ride bikes through the winding Denton Mountain Bike Trail. Adventures on the water await at Ray Roberts Lake State Park Isle du Bois and Lake Ray Roberts, approximately 14 miles north.

An expanding food and music scene in Denton's downtown
North Denton residents travel 5 miles south to Kroger or Natural Grocers when they need to restock the pantry. The stores anchor dense clusters of restaurants and retail – a busy hub for errand runners and diners. Locals can also peruse the pre-owned items at the popular Denton Flea Market. North Denton is no exception to the area's expanding culinary scene. "I remember growing up, and it was all Southern food," Mauricio says. "It was all Tex Mex, and now the entire Metroplex is really attracting a ton of international cuisine." Gorditas Alama is a food truck next door serving pupusas that doubles as a community gathering space. Events often feature live music and tented stations purveying plants, wares and homemade goods. Residents are roughly 3 miles away from downtown for more retail and culture. Several local storefronts and restaurants encircle the towering Denton County Courthouse, a historical building with a spired roof and richly ornamented façade. Locals have happy hour at Oak St. Drafthouse and Cocktail Parlor's historic spot or dine out at Graffiti Pasta's quirky outpost. Neighbors often run into each other at the Denton Community Market with their four-legged friends. Neighboring Frisco also has a similar artsy small-town draw and a growing laundry list of amenities.
North Denton is close to the downtown square full of unique dinning, shopping, and night life.

Denton is a hub for social events and live music
Denton hosts a slew of annual events, often attracting over 300,000 visitors to the city each year. "I think the event that best embodies the entire vibe of Denton would be the Denton County Fair," Mauricio says. "There's great food like downtown has, great live music and the crowds are friendly and enthusiastic. It feels like the epitome of Texas, as a whole." Denton is known for its active music scene and festivals like the North Texas State Fair and Denton Arts and Jazz. According to Mauricio, Fry Street is the epicenter of the area's prominent music scene and the perfect place to catch live music. Other events include the annual City Block Party; National Night Out in October, which encourages neighbors to step outside and mingle with their neighbors; and Denton Revealed, a month-long initiative to promote the history of Denton and local tourism. For a fun family day out, Explorium Denton Children's Museum and the C.H. Collins Athletic Complex stadium are 4 and 2 miles away, respectively.

The Medical City Denton and Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Denton are 8 miles away for immediate healthcare needs. Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is roughly 30 miles away.
