Burleson is Booming!

What began as a sleepy agricultural center in the 1800s has become a leading hub of commercial activity in Johnson and Tarrant Counties today.

 

Now a city of more than 30,000, Burleson boasts outstanding schools, mature infrastructure, a wealth of city services and old fashioned neighborliness that make it one of the most livable communities in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

Tops for Education

 

Businesses find a thriving economy, and one of the fastest growing communities in the entire Dallas-Fort Worth area. The acclaimed Burleson Independent School District is recognized as one of the best in Texas. For higher education, many top echelon colleges and universities, such as Texas Christian and Southern Methodist, are within easy reach.

Transportation

 

DFW International Airport, the nation’s third largest, provides gateway service to cities throughout the United States, as well as international destinations. Alliance Airport, in Fort Worth, is a major cargo hub for the region, and Burleson’s Spinks Airport boasts a 6,000-foot concrete runway and a full range of aviation services for business and recreational flying.

Outstanding Recreational Opportunities

 

Abundant recreational facilities add to the high quality of life you will enjoy in Burleson. The city offers public and private golf courses, 200 acres of city parks and athletic fields, including the 117-acre Chisenhall Park, which adjoins the Hidden Vistas community. Chisenhall offers miles of hiking and biking trails, athletic fields and a huge outdoor pool.

 

Shopping

 

Nearly any major retailer you can name, from specialty shops to big-box stores, is located in Burleson or next door. Shopping malls and historic downtown areas abound throughout the Metroplex. You’ll want to visit the Burleson Old Town Historic District often for day-to-day and special needs alike.

 

Big League Sports

 

The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is home to the five-time NFL champion Dallas Cowboys football team, the National Basketball Association’s Dallas Mavericks, the Dallas Stars NHL hockey team and the American League’s Texas Rangers baseball team.

 

The original Six Flags amusement park with its ever-expanding array of rides and entertainment is only minutes away in nearby Arlington.

 

Lively Arts Community
