Bedford Reviews

I like it better here than the northern dfw suburbs. There is more character, mature trees, larger yards, and diverse architecture as far as houses go. It’s more walkable here, you’ll actually see people out and about walking to places or exercising. The schools are good and there is a lot of stuff for kids to do. We are a bit lacking in the nature dept, like all of north texas, which is why I am giving 4 stars. The central location in the metroplex provides access to a multitude of employers. There are several colleges within commuting distance as well. We are very close to DFW airport and right in between Dallas and Fort Worth, which gives us a lot of entertainment options. The population ranges from working class to upper middle class. The community is diverse and pretty down to earth. Overall I enjoy living here. A small town feel in the middle of a huge metroplex.
Bedford is definitely a good place to live; having grown up here, I can say that even while in the middle of the busy DFW metroplex, the suburb town is a great place to settle. Neighbors are kind and connected, there is lots of places to go, with or without kids, and crime is low. The schools are great and diversity is high within the district. In all, living in Bedford is perfect whether you're looking to raise a family or enjoy a laid-back lifestyle within proximity of the big cities.
I've moved around a lot in my adult life but by far Bedford, Texas is our favorite place. We're equidistant to Fort Worth, Dallas, Denton, and Arlington which allows for a huge variety of entertainment. The housing market is a little stressed in the area so we're currently renting an apartment. We'd love to start a family here!
