About
Life in Crowley
Living in Crowley means joining a city that's genuinely booming—the population has grown over 40% in the last decade, and you'll feel that energy in the expanding neighborhoods like Astoria Crossing, Sendero Oaks, and Crystal Creek spreading across the area. The cost of living is reasonable for the DFW region, with a median home price around $269,100 and median household income sitting at $95,030, so you're not stretching yourself thin to own here, though the job market is solid with unemployment under 4%. You're essentially living in a residential sweet spot between Fort Worth to the north and Burleson to the south—close enough to tap into Fort Worth's job opportunities (most commutes average about 31 minutes) but far enough out that you get more space and newer construction without the urban density.
