Embrace Texas culture in this rural town

Rural Accessible Restaurants Community Quaint

Cresson is a Fort Worth suburb with a rural feel. Renters adore renting quaint homes and cozy apartments separated by large, open pastures. Originally a hub for commerce and railroad trains, Cresson maintains a southern, relaxed modern-day charm. Like most small towns, Cresson has a tiny commercial center that features several auto shops, antique shops, and restaurants. Be sure to check out the town’s landmark restaurant, BBQ on the Brazos, a classic Texan barbecue spot known for its popular “Gobbler” sandwich. For fun, you’ll find residents watching a race at Motorsport Ranch or spending a day outdoors at Benbrooke Lake nearby. A great option for commuters and renters who enjoy seclusion, U.S. Route 77 allows for easy access to Fort Worth, which is only about 30 minutes away.
