            <title>Burleson TX Homes For Sale</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Burleson TX is one of north Johnson County’s most desirable places to live. With 100 years of established history, this little city just south of Fort Worth is now attracting some big attention.  Since the year 2000 Burleson has experienced an impressive +74% population growth rate according to citydata.com; and a recent estimate puts the growing city’s population at around 38,130 as of January 1, 2012. Because of this growth, and many other factors, Burleson has been ranked as one of the top ten cities by the North Central Texas Council of Governments in 2012. Burleson offers its residents many desirable amenities including quick and easy access to Interstate 35, low taxes, top schools, and for fun and entertainment, a wide selection of restaurants, movie theaters, and parks with constant community organized activities that all residents can happily enjoy.


And Burleson is a young city at just 100 years old; the average age for residents is 31.9 years, younger by three years of Johnson County’s average age of 34. Since the year 2000, local home builders have added 28% of Burleson’s homes, accounting for more than 14,000 new home built, but there is still plenty more room for future growth.


The city’s top 5 major employers include Alcon Laboratories, an eyeglasses manufacturer, Burleson Independent School District, which has 17 schools and over 10,000 students, Huguley Hospital, Ben E Keith, and Sabre Tabular Structure, which manufactures wind turbines.


Of the 17 schools in Burleson six have an “Exemplary” ranking, with four earning the “Recognized” achievement by the Texas Education Agency. In 2010, Centennial High School, a $120 million state-of-the-art building was completed to educate more than 2,500 students.


If  you want to live in an area with thriving community, plenty of activity, that has a small town feel but quick access to big city features, look no farther than Burleson, Texas.

            <title>5116 LeeRay Fort Worth Texas 76244 </title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
This upgrade-rich Plantation home sits in a relaxed neighborhood where Fort Worth and Keller, TX meet.


Turning into the single entrance/exit of the Rays Pointe Estates neighborhood, you’ll feel like you’ve just entered a secret island of a community. Children ride down the sidewalks on their bikes and neighbors wave as you drive down the street. Because the neighborhood doesn’t have traffic passing through, vehicles entering are either residents or friends or family of a resident—and the southern hospitality treats you accordingly.


Walking past the well-maintained landscaping up to the front door, you might miss the first of many details the current owners paid special attention to: the door is stained on the outside to match the house, and on the inside to match the wrought-iron staircase rails housed in a darkly painted wooden base.





 


The entire house was designed with practical luxury in mind. From the smaller examples such as the laundry room being wired for a refrigerator to the larger considerations such as the formal dining and living rooms’ hardwood, hand-scraped flooring that meets the ceramic tile in decorative breaks. Don’t want your children (or spouse!) coming in from the saltwater pool dripping on the floor? Just use the outside shower in the half-bathroom before coming in.


But then again, it’s hard to come inside while still wet when there’s a built-in outdoor grill and smoker, patio, pergola, and outside speakers. For the kids, a high-quality tree house provides extra entertainment. All this backyard fun comes with privacy, too. Instead of rear neighbors, behind the house is a church parking lot that is used only on Sundays.


Every room has a ceiling fan for extra comfort in the Texas heat, although you’ll find this house has more significant upgrades to fight the high temperatures: a radiant barrier, R40 insulation (sprayed twice), and two AC control panels on a damper switch with separate thermometers upstairs and downstairs. Welcome to lower electricity bills!


 Other features that set this house apart include the gas stove (just one important feature in the spacious kitchen with granite countertops); door upgrades (you won’t find the basic flat-panel doors inside this house); an extra master bedroom upstairs (also known as a mother-in-law suite); an enlarged stone shower in the master bathroom; custom paint jobs throughout the house that add to the feeling of comfort and family; premium travertine stone around the saltwater pool, featuring a tanning ledge and waterfall; a nearby running trail; and a storage area attached to the house for lawn equipment so you can use the oversized three-car garage with built-in cabinets for whatever you really want to use it for.


Get all this and pay no city taxes in Fort Worth until 2015, when the community is annexed into Fort Worth instead of Keller. Paying only county and school taxes saves a sizable sum on a monthly basis.

North Richland Texas Homes For Sale


This charming Tudor-style house @ 6401 King Arthur Court sits on a spacious corner lot in North Richland Hills, Texas ’ illustrious Diamond Loch neighborhood, renowned for its Christmas light display. With its proximity to the NRH Linda Spurlock park and major highways, the location is ideal whether you’re looking for a quiet neighborhood or quick access to big-city life.





 


Upon entering into the hardwood-floored entryway, the personality of the house is immediately evident. Inset chandeliers and modern light fixtures illuminate the front rooms. The stained glass in the front door and the vaulted interior entryways are the first sign of careful detail attended to throughout the home.


To the left you’ll see a formal room with white marble floors that glow because of elegant floor-to-ceiling windows allowing natural light to spill inside.


The living room features imported Brazilian hardwood flooring and a large brick fireplace enveloped by built-in wood cabinetry. The inset light fixture in this room is the most marvelous of all.


French doors lead from the living room to the large wraparound backyard, designed for entertaining on the patio beneath the arbor or lounging under the large oak trees. Stone walkways meander through well-manicured bushes in relaxing and cultured display of greenery.


Multiple updates in the kitchen — such as granite countertops, stone backsplash and built-in wine refrigerators — create an atmosphere of quality and friendliness. The detail here is especially pronounced, and is consistent with the elegant personality of the house. 


On the right side of the house are three of the four bedrooms; one of the bedrooms is currently used as a study with textured walls, dark marble floors, a frosted-glass closet and stained-glass windows.


The master bedroom contains wood flooring up to a carpeted platform. From here you can travel into the master bath that has a luxurious ambience all to itself due to the marble-walled, glass shower with a rainforest showerhead. Lighting can be set to low and comfortable or bright and functional. The second bath also boasts a seamless-glass shower and rainforest showerhead.


Enough cannot be said about the charming nature and attention to detail of this spacious house in the North Richland Hills Diamond Loch neighborhood. This house is an incredible value for residents looking for a comfortable, elegant home.
