Forney wears a pretty distinctive badge: it’s the only city in Texas officially named the Antique Capital of the state by the Texas Legislature. Sitting about 30 minutes east of downtown Dallas along Highway 80, this Kaufman County city strikes a balance between small-town charm and big-city access. The historic downtown draws weekend explorers with its specialty shops and local eateries tucked into well-preserved older buildings, while parks and open green spaces give everyday life a relaxed, unhurried pace.
Renters in Forney will find a solid mix of options, from spacious townhomes and single-story rentals to newer apartment communities that have followed the city’s steady growth. The rental landscape tends to skew toward more room for the money compared to what you’d find closer to Dallas, making it an appealing alternative for those who want square footage without sacrificing proximity to the metro. With quick access to I-20 and Highway 80, commuting into the greater DFW area is straightforward, and everyday conveniences like grocery stores, dining, and retail are close at hand.
