We’ve lived here sine 1995. Hoping to move out of Denton. Used to love it. Not anymore.
It’s diverse, different mind sets, access to groceries, restaurants doctors, haircuts, theater, places to worship, etc… We’ve lived here sine 1995.
apartments going up everywhere and green space is being built on by some sort of low cost housing (or track homes in massive treeless neighborhoods) or yet another big box store. Construction, pollution and crowding is everywhere in this town.
Homelessness is everywhere. In fact, Denton loves them so much that they’re building a huge facility for many of them to live here. In addition, the crime is bad. Also, It is loud, polluted here now and it just feels like everywhere you turn it’s so crowded and noisy and sirens and airplanes. Etc... Sadly, based on the estimates from our local leaders, this “small town“ will keep going in this direction and keep getting larger. Did I mention the property taxes!..yikes!

Denton is a pretty nice city! It's got some cute perks that draw people to it, like the square and certain events we have going on during the year. There are a ton of residents who feel that the community here is close-knit and very involved and I'd say that's true, especially when you look at community events, local politics, etc. The colleges here make the city pretty diverse in demographics, so you'll meet all sorts of people. There's nice parks in the city to spend time in and you're also not too far from Dallas or lake Lewisville. The construction in Denton seems constant, but the population keeps growing so, I think that's just something we'll have to deal with, but Denton has some nice and quiet neighborhoods, especially to the north.
Funny things happen when a large influx of out of state residents (California) move to a sleep suburb of Dallas, Texas filled with senior citizens and college students. In the last 20 years, the city of Denton has grown from a sleepy college town to a truly international area. Tons of new home developments and apartments are springing up, chain stores are dominating the local market and the University of North Texas (my Alma Mater - go Eagles!) is growing internationally. It's a fine area, just got a little too "big city" (Dallas) along with all the growing pains and challenges that come with it. One last thing about the City of Denton - please for the love of god stop with the 3:00 A.M. train horns waking up early risers / commuters and families with small children! #MingoLine
