I’ve lived in the Lakes of River Trails neighborhood since 2018, after spending a year in apartments down the road. Before that, I was commuting from Fort Worth to Hurst every day — an hour on a good day. I moved here to be closer to work, my son and daughter.

All the houses here have access to our neighborhood’s lakes, but I think our lake is probably the nicest. When people celebrate things like the Fourth of July, they usually use our lake as the base. It’s two blocks from where I live, making for nice walks…
