Is Springtown, TX Too Far From Fort Worth?

If you’re considering a move to Parker County, this is probably the first question on your mind- and it’s a fair one. Here’s my honest, straightforward answer.

Springtown is about 30 miles northwest of downtown Fort Worth. Depending on where in Fort Worth you’re headed and what time of day you’re driving, that typically translates to somewhere in the 35–45 minute range door to door.

I live in Springtown myself, so I make this drive regularly. It’s not a quick hop, but it’s a manageable one- and for a lot of my clients, that trade-off is exactly what they’re looking for.

What You Get for That Extra Drive Time

I’ve worked with enough relocating buyers to know the real question isn’t “how far is it,” it’s “is it worth it.” Here’s what people find once they get here:

• Real space. Larger lots, fewer HOA restrictions, and room to actually spread out – the kind of property that’s hard to find inside Fort Worth’s inner loop.
• A small-town feel that’s still close to everything. Highway 199 gets you into Fort Worth without a complicated route, so you’re not sacrificing access to work, sports, or city weekends.
• A community that’s genuinely growing. Springtown’s population grew from about 2,800 to 5,700 residents by 2024, making it the fastest-growing city in Parker County. Parker County itself is one of the ten fastest-growing counties in the entire country. This isn’t a sleepy town that’s staying that way- it’s a place with real momentum.
• Affordability. Springtown remains the most affordable city in Parker County, with an average home price around $352,500- a number that’s hard to find much closer to Fort Worth.

Is the Drive Worth It?

That depends on what you’re trying to solve for. If your priority is a short commute above everything else, Springtown may feel far. But if you’re weighing that drive against acreage, no HOA, new construction, and a lower price point than you’ll find closer in, most of the people I work with find the trade genuinely worth it, especially once they’ve made the drive themselves.

My honest advice: don’t rule it out based on a number on a map. Come see it. The distance question tends to answer itself once you’re standing in the driveway.
