Best Neighborhoods in Crowley, TX

by 10 Federal Storage

Published on July 22, 2026

Crowley is one of those southern Tarrant County towns that most people drive past on their way somewhere else — and then, a few years later, move to. Sitting about fifteen miles south of downtown Fort Worth, wedged between I-35W to the east and the Chisholm Trail Parkway to the west, Crowley has spent the last decade quietly turning from a railroad-era farm town into one of the fastest-growing communities in the southern Metroplex. Its population jumped more than 40% between 2010 and 2020, and the growth hasn't slowed since. Whether you're relocating into the Fort Worth area, moving out of the city for more square footage, or simply trying to figure out which part of town fits your life, this guide breaks down the neighborhoods that define Crowley in 2026 and beyond.

Crowley is not one uniform suburb. The blocks north of Main Street are the original town — mature trees, wide sidewalks, ranch homes from the 1950s through the 1970s, and price-per-square-foot numbers that still make sense for first-time buyers. Karis and the newer master-planned communities on the north and east sides are almost the opposite: brand-new construction, HOA amenities, and buyers who want a house nobody has lived in before. The Chisholm Trail Ranch corridor has become the area's retail and trail hub. And out west, past the last subdivision, Crowley still has genuine acreage where people keep horses and workshops. Each of these serves a different buyer, and knowing which is which is the point of this guide.

Below you'll find profiles of the six best neighborhoods and areas in Crowley, with honest information on what homes and rentals cost, what safety data actually says, what you'll have access to day-to-day, and who each area tends to suit. We've also included a dedicated section on self storage, because Crowley is a town where garages fill up fast — between new-build lots that trend small, HOA rules that don't love a boat in the driveway, and a steady stream of families moving in from Fort Worth.

CROWLEY HOUSING & RENTAL MARKET OVERVIEW

Crowley's housing market has done something unusual over the past two years: it has held roughly flat while adding significant new inventory. The median home sale price sat around $309,830 as of April 2026, essentially unchanged year over year at +0.4%, according to Redfin. Zillow's home value index tells a similar story, hovering near $304,000 with a slight one-year decline. Median price per square foot runs about $166. For a Fort Worth–adjacent suburb with a well-regarded parks system and direct tollway access to downtown, that's meaningfully below what comparable Metroplex suburbs command — and it's the single biggest reason Crowley keeps drawing buyers priced out of Mansfield, Aledo, and southwest Fort Worth.

The market is best described as balanced to modestly competitive. Homes generally sell within 60 to 85 days depending on the season and price band, and sale-to-list ratios have hovered close to asking. The most important dynamic for buyers to understand is the split between old and new stock. Established neighborhoods north of Main Street offer 1950s–1980s ranch homes on larger lots at a lower price per square foot — these are where the value plays live, though many need updating. Newer subdivisions along FM 1187, McCart Avenue, and the Chisholm Trail Parkway corridor offer modern floor plans, HOA amenities, and builder incentives, but usually on tighter lots and at a higher price per square foot. Neither is objectively better; they simply solve different problems.

The rental market is smaller and quirkier than the sale market. Crowley is about 74% owner-occupied, and there are relatively few large apartment communities inside city limits. That means a substantial portion of what's listed for rent is single-family homes and duplexes, which pushes the reported averages higher than they'd be in a market with more conventional multifamily inventory. Apartment averages run roughly $1,338 for a one-bedroom and $1,815 for a two-bedroom, with overall averages near $1,575 and rising modestly year over year. Renters looking for traditional apartment complexes with amenity packages often end up looking just across the line into Burleson or south Fort Worth, where inventory is deeper.

One practical note for anyone new to the area: Crowley is car-dependent, full stop. Roughly 99% of residents commute by car, and the average commute runs about 30 minutes. The Chisholm Trail Parkway is the game-changer here — since opening in 2014, it has given Crowley a straight shot into Fort Worth's Medical District, TCU, and downtown without fighting I-35W. FM 731 connects east to I-35W, and FM 1187 runs east toward Mansfield and US-287. TxDOT has planned widening of FM 1187 between the Chisholm Trail Parkway and McCart Avenue, which should ease one of the town's real congestion points. Factor your specific commute route into your neighborhood decision, because in Crowley the difference between the west side and the east side can be fifteen minutes of your morning.


1. HISTORIC DOWNTOWN CROWLEY / OLD TOWN — MOST CHARACTER, MOST WALKABLE

This is the original Crowley. The town moved to its present downtown site in the 1880s when the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway laid track and built a depot here, and the community took its name from S. H. Crowley, the railroad's master of transportation. Settlers had been farming the Deer Creek area since 1848, but the railroad is what made the town. That history is still legible in the street grid: the blocks north and immediately around Main Street are laid out tighter and more walkably than anything built since, with mature shade trees, real sidewalks, and ranch-style homes built mostly between 1950 and 1980.

For buyers, this is where Crowley's value lives. Price per square foot north of Main Street generally runs below what the FM 1187 subdivisions command, and lots tend to be larger — enough backyard for a workshop, a garden, or a genuinely useful garage. The tradeoff is age. These homes were built before open-concept floor plans and modern insulation standards, and many will need HVAC, roof, plumbing, or kitchen work at some point. Buyers willing to do that work get more land and more character per dollar than anywhere else in town. Buyers who want move-in-ready should look north or east.

Day-to-day, the anchor is Bicentennial Park — walking trails, sports fields, picnic areas, a playground, and a splash pad that becomes the center of civic life once the Texas heat sets in. The park hosts Crowley's biggest community events, including the Celebration of Freedom around Independence Day and Christmas in Crowley in December, plus live music during the warmer months. Market on Main brings food, crafts, and music downtown on Sundays. It's a genuinely small-town rhythm, and it's the main thing longtime residents cite when asked why they stayed.

Median Home Price: Generally $230,000–$320,000, varying widely by lot size and condition | Average Rent: 1BR: $1,000–$1,300/mo | 2BR: $1,300–$1,700/mo (much of it single-family and duplex inventory rather than apartments)

Safety: Crowley as a whole posts a total crime rate that runs below the national average, with violent crime notably lower — though CrimeGrade grades the city near the middle of the national pack overall, at roughly the 49th percentile. Central Crowley records more total incidents than the outlying areas simply because that's where the businesses, traffic, and density are. Most of what's recorded is property crime rather than violent crime, which is consistent with national patterns for small-town commercial cores.

Walkability / Transit: The most walkable part of Crowley, which in practice means you can walk to the park, to Main Street, and to a handful of local restaurants. There is no meaningful public transit in Crowley; you will need a car for groceries, work, and almost everything else.

Top Amenities:

  • Bicentennial Park — Crowley's signature green space; trails, sports fields, playground, splash pad, and the venue for the city's largest annual events
  • Market on Main — Weekly Sunday market with food, crafts, and live music in the historic downtown
  • Crowley Recreation Center & aquatic facilities — Community programming, fitness, and summer swim options
  • Local dining on Main — Family-owned cafes and long-standing local restaurants rather than chain rows
  • Crowley ISD campuses — S. H. Crowley Elementary, Richard Allie Middle, and Crowley High School are all clustered on this side of town
  • Downtown Fort Worth — Roughly 15 miles north, about 20–25 minutes via the Chisholm Trail Parkway outside rush hour

Best For: First-time buyers, buyers who want land and are willing to renovate, longtime residents and multi-generational families, anyone who values a real downtown and community events over HOA amenities

Nearest 10 Federal Storage Location:

  • 2121 S Burleson Blvd, Burleson, TX 76028 — A short drive east of Crowley via FM 1187 and FM 731; a practical option for Old Town homeowners staging a renovation, clearing out a 1960s garage, or holding furniture between houses

2. KARIS — BEST MASTER-PLANNED LIVING IN CROWLEY

Karis is what most buyers picture when they imagine "new Crowley." Built out along the northern side of town off the McCart Avenue corridor, it's one of the largest planned communities in the city and represents the clearest break from Crowley's older housing stock. Homes here are post-2000 new-traditional construction — brick and stone elevations, open floor plans, two-car garages, energy-efficient builds — laid out along curving streets with pocket parks, trails, and HOA-maintained common areas. It is a deliberate, designed neighborhood rather than an organic one, and that's exactly the appeal for a lot of buyers.

The buyer profile here skews toward families relocating from Fort Worth proper who want more house for the money without giving up modern construction, plus move-up buyers already living in Crowley who want to upgrade without leaving Crowley ISD. Prices generally sit above the town median, reflecting newer construction and larger square footage, though they remain well under what equivalent homes cost in the northern and western Fort Worth suburbs. Resale inventory in Karis and similar additions turns over steadily, and builder activity continues in adjacent phases.

The practical tradeoff is lot size. Like most master-planned communities built in the last twenty years, Karis maximizes house on lot, which means smaller yards and less room for a boat, trailer, or project car than you'd get on an older street north of Main. HOA covenants also typically restrict what can be parked in driveways and visible from the street. That's not a knock — it's what keeps the community looking consistent — but it's the single most common practical friction new residents run into, and it's worth planning for before you close.

Median Home Price: Generally $330,000–$450,000+ depending on plan, phase, and square footage | Average Rent: Limited rental inventory; single-family rentals in newer Crowley subdivisions typically run $1,900–$2,400/mo

Safety: The newer subdivisions on Crowley's north and east sides consistently earn strong neighborhood-level safety grades, with property crime running near or below the city average. Low through-traffic, HOA-maintained lighting, and high owner-occupancy rates all contribute.

Walkability / Transit: Internally walkable — sidewalks, trails, and pocket parks are part of the design — but car-dependent for everything outside the community. No public transit.

Top Amenities:

  • Community trails and pocket parks — Built-in walking and biking infrastructure within the neighborhood
  • HOA common areas and amenity spaces — Maintained green space and gathering areas depending on phase
  • Crowley ISD schools — The north-side campuses, including the North Crowley feeder pattern, serve much of this area
  • McCart Avenue retail corridor — Grocery, dining, and everyday services a short drive north
  • Chisholm Trail Parkway access — Quick connection north into Fort Worth's Medical District, TCU, and downtown
  • New construction warranties — A meaningful practical amenity for buyers who don't want a renovation project

Best For: Families who want new construction, buyers relocating from Fort Worth or out of state, move-up buyers staying in Crowley ISD, anyone who prefers HOA consistency to older-neighborhood variability

Nearest 10 Federal Storage Location:

  • 2121 S Burleson Blvd, Burleson, TX 76028 — The closest 10 Federal facility to Crowley, with drive-up units, climate-controlled units, and vehicle, RV, and boat parking — a direct answer to the small-lot and HOA-driveway problem that comes with new-construction living

3. NORTH CROWLEY & CHISHOLM TRAIL RANCH — BEST AMENITIES & RETAIL ACCESS

Worth clarifying up front: Chisholm Trail Ranch carries a Fort Worth address, not a Crowley one. But it sits directly on Crowley's northern edge, it's zoned to Crowley ISD, and functionally it operates as north Crowley — which is why it belongs in any honest guide to the area. It's the largest master-planned development in this part of southern Tarrant County, and it has done more to change the daily experience of living in north Crowley than anything since the Chisholm Trail Parkway opened.

The development was designed around amenities rather than just lots. An extensive trail system runs through the community and connects to parks and schools, a community pool and park serve residents, and the Chisholm Community Center provides a multi-purpose fitness and activity facility. Just as importantly, the Shops at Chisholm Trail Ranch brought a real retail node to a part of town that previously required a drive into Fort Worth for basic shopping. For residents of north Crowley, Karis, and the surrounding subdivisions, that retail corridor is now the default for groceries, dining, and errands.

School access is a genuine draw here. Dallas Park Elementary, Summer Creek Middle School, North Crowley Ninth Grade Campus, and North Crowley High School all sit within roughly a mile of the community, with additional elementary capacity planned inside the development boundaries. Crowley ISD serves more than 17,000 students across 28 campuses, with a district-wide STEM focus, career pathway programs in middle school, and dual-credit and CTE certification offerings at the high school level. As with any large district, campus quality varies meaningfully — buyers should look at the specific feeder pattern for a specific address rather than relying on a district-wide average.

Median Home Price: Generally $320,000–$475,000 depending on builder, phase, and plan | Average Rent: Single-family rentals typically $2,000–$2,600/mo; some newer multifamily inventory in the surrounding corridor

Safety: Newer master-planned communities in this corridor generally record lower property crime than the city average, supported by high owner-occupancy, internal street design that discourages through-traffic, and consistent lighting and maintenance standards.

Walkability / Transit: Among the most genuinely walkable environments in the Crowley area for recreation purposes, thanks to the connected trail network linking homes to parks and schools. Retail is close enough to walk or bike from parts of the community. Still car-dependent for commuting; no transit service.

Top Amenities:

  • Community trail network — Hiking and biking trails running throughout the development and connecting to parks and schools
  • Chisholm Community Center — Multi-purpose fitness and activity facility for residents
  • Community pool and park — Central amenity anchor for families
  • Shops at Chisholm Trail Ranch — The area's primary retail node; grocery, dining, and everyday services
  • North Crowley ISD campuses — Dallas Park Elementary, Summer Creek Middle, North Crowley Ninth Grade, and North Crowley High all within about a mile
  • Chisholm Trail Parkway — Direct tollway access north to the Fort Worth Medical District, TCU, and downtown

Best For: Families who want infrastructure and amenities built in, buyers who prioritize school proximity, commuters into Fort Worth via the parkway, anyone who wants retail and services within a few minutes rather than fifteen

Nearest 10 Federal Storage Location:

  • 2121 S Burleson Blvd, Burleson, TX 76028 — A straightforward run east via FM 1187 or south on the parkway; convenient for households in this corridor storing seasonal gear, sports equipment, or overflow that won't fit in a newer-build garage

4. DEER CREEK ESTATES & CREEKSIDE — BEST ESTABLISHED FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS

If Old Town is too old and Karis is too new, this is the middle ground. Deer Creek Estates, Creekside, and the cluster of established subdivisions around them represent Crowley's mature suburban core — homes built largely from the 1980s through the 2000s, on lots that are meaningfully larger than current new construction but without the deferred-maintenance burden of mid-century stock. Trees have filled in. Fences are up. The neighborhoods have settled into themselves.

The Deer Creek name traces back to the original 1848 settlement area, and the creek and its greenbelts still shape the geography of this part of town. Deer Creek Park is one of several neighborhood parks that give this area its walkable, get-outside character — alongside Bolden Park, Fox Run Park, Bluebonnet Park, and West Bend Park. Crowley's approach to parks is worth noting generally: rather than one signature destination, the city spreads recreation across a dozen smaller spaces, most of them within a few minutes of any given neighborhood.

For buyers, this band of neighborhoods often represents the best total-value proposition in Crowley. Prices sit near or modestly above the city median, homes are typically updated enough to move into without immediate work, lots accommodate a real backyard, and HOA involvement is generally lighter than in the newest developments. Neighborhood-level safety data for established Crowley subdivisions in this area tends to grade well — Creekview Estates, for example, carries an A+ crime grade with an overall index roughly 41% below the national average and modestly below the Crowley city average. As always, crime varies block by block, and checking a specific address is worth the ten minutes.

Median Home Price: Generally $280,000–$380,000 | Average Rent: 3BR single-family: $1,800–$2,300/mo; limited apartment inventory in the immediate area

Safety: Established residential subdivisions in this part of Crowley generally grade at or above the city average, with several neighborhoods earning A-range safety grades and overall crime indices well below national norms. Burglary tends to be the most elevated category, and vehicle theft among the lowest — a typical suburban pattern.

Walkability / Transit: Sidewalks and neighborhood parks make these areas pleasant to walk within. Errands require a car. No public transit.

Top Amenities:

  • Deer Creek Park — Neighborhood green space along the creek corridor
  • Bolden Park, Fox Run Park & Bluebonnet Park — Additional neighborhood parks spread throughout the area for quick weekday outings
  • West Bend Park — Larger park option for longer outings and organized recreation
  • Claudia's Playground & Crowley Splash Pad — Family staples, particularly during the long Texas summer
  • Crowley ISD athletics — Friday night football at the Crowley ISD multi-purpose stadium is a genuine community anchor
  • Central location — Roughly equidistant from downtown Crowley, the parkway, and I-35W

Best For: Families who want a settled neighborhood rather than a construction zone, buyers who want a usable backyard, second-time buyers moving up from a starter home, households that value light HOA involvement

Nearest 10 Federal Storage Location:

  • 2121 S Burleson Blvd, Burleson, TX 76028 — Just east along the I-35W corridor; well-suited for the lawn equipment, camping gear, sports equipment, and holiday storage that accumulate in established family neighborhoods

5. THE FM 1187 CORRIDOR — BEST NEW CONSTRUCTION VALUE

FM 1187 is Crowley's main east–west artery, running from the Chisholm Trail Parkway east toward McCart Avenue, I-35W, and eventually Mansfield. It's also where a large share of the town's recent residential growth has landed. Subdivisions like Crescent Springs Ranch, Lasater Ranch, Tarrytown, Miraverde, and the various Creekside phases have filled in along and around this corridor over the past two decades, replacing farmland with HOA-managed communities of new-traditional homes.

The pitch here is straightforward: newer construction at a lower entry point than Karis or Chisholm Trail Ranch. Buyers get modern floor plans, current building standards, and warranty coverage, typically on compact HOA-managed lots with pocket parks or short trail segments. Price per square foot along FM 1187 runs higher than north of Main Street — you're paying a premium for newness and tollway convenience — but total prices frequently land at or near the city median, which makes this the sweet spot for buyers who want new but aren't stretching to the top of their budget.

The honest downside is traffic. FM 1187 carries a lot of the town's daily volume, and growth has outpaced the road. TxDOT has planned widening between the Chisholm Trail Parkway and McCart Avenue, which should meaningfully improve the corridor, but until that work is complete, buyers should drive their actual commute at their actual commute time before committing. The other consideration is that rapid subdivision buildout along this corridor has replaced open farmland with impervious surface, which concentrates stormwater runoff — worth a look at drainage and grading on any specific lot, particularly on newer phases.

Median Home Price: Generally $290,000–$400,000 depending on subdivision, builder, and phase | Average Rent: Single-family rentals typically $1,900–$2,400/mo; most of Crowley's apartment and duplex inventory sits along or near this corridor

Safety: Subdivisions along the corridor generally record crime levels near the Crowley city average, which itself runs below national norms for total crime. Property crime is the dominant category. Newer, HOA-managed additions tend to grade somewhat better than the corridor's commercial frontage.

Walkability / Transit: Walkable within individual subdivisions, thanks to sidewalks and pocket parks. FM 1187 itself is a busy arterial and not a pleasant walking or biking route. No public transit.

Top Amenities:

  • Chisholm Trail Parkway access — The corridor's western end connects directly to the tollway for a fast run into Fort Worth
  • Retail and services along FM 1187 — Grocery, fuel, fast-casual dining, and everyday errands without leaving town
  • HOA pocket parks and trails — Built-in green space within most newer subdivisions
  • Crowley ISD campuses — Multiple elementary and secondary campuses serve the corridor
  • Builder incentives — Ongoing new-phase construction means rate buydowns and closing-cost incentives are frequently available
  • Proximity to Burleson — The I-35W retail corridor and its deeper restaurant and shopping options are a short drive east

Best For: Buyers who want new construction at the city median, first-time buyers using builder incentives, commuters who use the Chisholm Trail Parkway, renters looking for Crowley's largest concentration of apartment and duplex inventory

Nearest 10 Federal Storage Location:

  • 2121 S Burleson Blvd, Burleson, TX 76028 — A direct shot east along FM 1187 toward I-35W; the most convenient 10 Federal option for corridor residents, with drive-up access for easy loading and climate-controlled units for anything heat-sensitive

6. WEST CROWLEY & THE RURAL FRINGE — BEST FOR ACREAGE & BENBROOK LAKE ACCESS

Cross the Chisholm Trail Parkway heading west and Crowley changes character quickly. The subdivisions thin out, the county roads take over, and the landscape returns to the open prairie and ranchland that defined this area before the growth arrived. Communities like Mayfair Estates and Horse Creek Farms, along with scattered acreage properties along the County Road 1019, 1020, and 915 corridors, represent a different version of Crowley entirely — half-acre to multi-acre lots, room for horses and shops, and neighbors you can see but not hear.

This is the part of town that draws hobbyists, animal owners, tradespeople who need to store equipment on their own property, and anyone who moved to southern Tarrant County specifically to get away from a shared fence line. Lot sizes typically start around a half acre and go up substantially from there. Homes range from older farmhouses and manufactured homes to custom builds on large parcels, and price ranges are correspondingly wide — land value drives the number more than square footage does.

The other draw out here is Benbrook Lake to the northwest, which puts boating, fishing, paddling, and lakeside trails within a reasonable drive. Combined with the open country to the south and west, this area gives residents genuine outdoor access without leaving the Metroplex. The tradeoffs are real and should be understood before buying: septic systems rather than city sewer in many cases, well water in some, longer drives to groceries and schools, and utility and service considerations that don't come up inside city limits. For the right buyer, none of that is a dealbreaker. For the wrong one, it's a surprise at closing.

Median Home Price: Extremely wide range — typically $300,000–$600,000+, driven primarily by acreage rather than house size | Average Rent: Very limited rental inventory; acreage properties rarely rent

Safety: The western and outlying parts of Crowley record the fewest total crime incidents of any part of the city — a function of low density and minimal through-traffic. Response times from emergency services can be longer this far out, which is the practical tradeoff to weigh against the low incident count.

Walkability / Transit: Not walkable in any conventional sense — these are county roads without sidewalks. A car is mandatory. Many residents keep a second vehicle or truck as a practical necessity.

Top Amenities:

  • Benbrook Lake — Boating, fishing, paddling, camping, and lakeside trails a short drive northwest
  • Half-acre to multi-acre lots — Room for horses, workshops, gardens, RVs, and equipment
  • Deer Creek greenbelts and open country — Genuine rural landscape at the edge of a major metro
  • Crowley ISD access — Many properties remain in the Crowley ISD boundary despite the rural setting
  • Chisholm Trail Parkway — Still within reach for a fast commute into Fort Worth once you're back on pavement
  • Lower density — The quietest part of the Crowley area by a wide margin

Best For: Buyers who want land, horse and livestock owners, tradespeople and hobbyists who need on-site space, RV and boat owners, anyone whose primary requirement is distance from the neighbors

Nearest 10 Federal Storage Location:

  • 2121 S Burleson Blvd, Burleson, TX 76028 — A longer drive from the far west side, but the closest 10 Federal facility and the most practical option for secure vehicle, RV, and boat parking when a property is between structures or a build is underway

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR CROWLEY NEIGHBORHOOD

Crowley is small enough that you can drive the whole town in twenty minutes, but the differences between its neighborhoods are real. Here's a practical framework for narrowing it down.

If you want the most house and land per dollar: Look north of Main Street in Historic Downtown Crowley. Price per square foot is lower and lots are larger than anywhere else in town, and the walkable proximity to Bicentennial Park and Main Street is something no subdivision can replicate. Budget for updates — most of these homes are 45 to 70 years old.

If you want brand-new construction and don't want to think about maintenance: Karis is the clearest answer, with the north Crowley subdivisions close behind. You'll pay above the city median and accept a smaller yard, but you'll get modern floor plans, warranty coverage, and HOA-maintained consistency.

If schools and amenities are the deciding factor: The Chisholm Trail Ranch corridor delivers more built-in infrastructure than anywhere else in the area — trails, a community center, a pool, retail at the Shops at Chisholm Trail Ranch, and four Crowley ISD campuses within about a mile. Confirm the specific feeder pattern for the specific address you're considering.

If you want a settled family neighborhood without the extremes: Deer Creek Estates, Creekside, and the surrounding established subdivisions are the middle path — mature trees, real backyards, updated homes, neighborhood parks, and lighter HOA involvement than the newest developments.

If you want new construction at the city median: The FM 1187 corridor is where the value is. Crescent Springs Ranch, Lasater Ranch, Tarrytown, and the newer Creekside phases offer modern homes at more accessible price points. Drive your commute at rush hour before you decide, and check drainage on the specific lot.

If you need land, a shop, or room for animals: West Crowley and the rural fringe are the only real option in the area. Mayfair Estates, Horse Creek Farms, and the county road corridors offer half-acre-plus lots with Benbrook Lake nearby. Understand the septic, well, and service-distance realities before you commit.


SELF STORAGE IN CROWLEY — 10 FEDERAL STORAGE

Crowley is a town in motion. Families are moving in from Fort Worth, new subdivisions are delivering homes on lots that trend smaller than the ones they replaced, HOA covenants restrict what can sit in a driveway, and long-time residents in older neighborhoods are renovating houses that were built during the Eisenhower administration. Every one of those situations produces a storage need — and in a town where the garage is often the only overflow space a house has, that need shows up fast.

10 Federal Storage doesn't operate a facility inside Crowley city limits, but our Burleson location sits just east of town along the I-35W corridor, an easy drive from almost anywhere in Crowley via FM 1187 or FM 731. It's the closest 10 Federal option for Crowley residents, and it's set up for the way people here actually store: drive-up units for quick loading, climate-controlled units for anything the North Texas summer would ruin, and parking for vehicles, RVs, and boats that won't fit — or aren't allowed — in the driveway.

Everything is fully online. Reserve your unit, sign your lease, and receive your gate access code without visiting an office or filling out paperwork, with an on-site kiosk available if you'd rather handle move-in there. All leases are month-to-month, so you can stay a month, a season, or as long as you need. New customers qualify for our current move-in special with no hidden fees and no long-term commitment.

WELCOME TO CROWLEY

Crowley is a town that rewards people who look at it closely. From the highway it reads as another southern Metroplex bedroom community, but spend a Sunday morning at Market on Main, a July evening at the Celebration of Freedom in Bicentennial Park, or a Friday night under the lights at the Crowley ISD stadium, and a different picture emerges — a place that grew 40% in a decade and somehow held onto the thing that made people want to move there. Whether you're drawn to the shaded streets and larger lots of Old Town, the new construction of Karis, the amenities of the Chisholm Trail Ranch corridor, the settled feel of the Deer Creek neighborhoods, the value along FM 1187, or the open ground west of the parkway, Crowley has a version of itself that fits most lifestyles and most budgets.

And wherever you land, 10 Federal Storage has a location just east of town in Burleson to make your move, seasonal storage, or ongoing overflow as straightforward as possible — with fully online rental, 24/7 access, month-to-month leases, and a new customer special available now.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CROWLEY NEIGHBORHOODS

The established blocks north of Main Street in Historic Downtown Crowley consistently offer the lowest price per square foot in the city, with 1950s–1980s ranch homes on larger lots. Buyers willing to take on updates will find the most value here. For renters, the apartment and duplex inventory clustered along FM 1187 and near the Burleson and south Fort Worth borders offers the most accessible entry points, with one-bedroom apartments averaging around $1,338 per month citywide.

Crowley's crime data is worth reading carefully, because different sources tell somewhat different stories. AreaVibes puts Crowley's total crime rate about 27% below the national average, and BestPlaces shows violent crime well below national norms. CrimeGrade, meanwhile, grades the city at roughly the 49th percentile nationally — essentially average. What the sources agree on is the internal distribution: the outlying western and southern parts of the city record the fewest incidents, central Crowley records the most in raw counts because that's where the commercial activity is, and property crime substantially outweighs violent crime everywhere. Established subdivisions like Creekview Estates grade in the A range, with overall crime indices running roughly 40% below the national average. Because crime varies block by block, checking a specific address is worthwhile.

For many buyers in the southern Metroplex, yes. The median home price of roughly $310,000 sits well below what comparable Fort Worth suburbs command, and prices have held essentially flat over the past year rather than spiking — which has kept affordability intact. The Chisholm Trail Parkway gives Crowley a genuine commuting advantage into Fort Worth that it didn't have before 2014, and the town's continued population growth suggests sustained demand. The considerations to weigh are Crowley ISD's variable campus performance across a large district, the traffic pressure on FM 1187 pending TxDOT's planned widening, and drainage on newer subdivision lots where farmland was recently converted.

The Chisholm Trail Ranch corridor is the strongest choice for families who want amenities and school proximity built in — trails, a community center, a pool, retail, and four Crowley ISD campuses within about a mile. Karis is the top pick for families who want new construction with HOA consistency. Deer Creek Estates, Creekside, and the surrounding established subdivisions suit families who'd rather have a mature neighborhood with a real backyard and a neighborhood park than a master-planned amenity package. All fall within Crowley ISD, which serves more than 17,000 students across 28 campuses with a district-wide STEM emphasis and career pathway programming.

Roughly 15 miles to downtown Fort Worth, typically 20–30 minutes via the Chisholm Trail Parkway outside of peak hours, longer during rush. The parkway, which opened in 2014, connects directly into the Fort Worth Medical District, TCU, and downtown, and it's the single biggest reason Crowley's growth accelerated over the past decade. FM 731 connects east to I-35W for commuters heading toward Burleson, Alvarado, or south Dallas County. Crowley residents average about a 30-minute commute overall, and roughly 99% drive — there is no meaningful public transit in the city.

Crowley sits in a humid subtropical zone with long, hot summers that regularly push well into the 90s and beyond, mild winters punctuated by occasional hard freezes, and an active spring severe-weather season with hail and high winds. Practically, this means three things for homeowners: HVAC capacity and condition matter more than in most markets, roof condition and hail history are worth checking on any home you're considering, and anything heat- or humidity-sensitive stored in an uninsulated garage or shed is at real risk. Climate-controlled storage is genuinely useful here rather than an upsell — wooden furniture, electronics, photographs, documents, instruments, and leather all degrade quickly in a Texas garage.

Most subdivisions built after 2000 — Karis, the Chisholm Trail Ranch communities, and the newer FM 1187 additions — are HOA-managed, and covenants commonly restrict visible driveway parking of boats, RVs, trailers, and project vehicles. Older neighborhoods north of Main Street and the rural properties west of the parkway generally have no HOA or a much lighter one. This is one of the most common practical surprises for buyers moving from an older home into a new build, and it's worth reading the covenants before closing. Off-site vehicle, RV, and boat storage is the standard workaround.
