Doug Shanahan Real Estate Man services several cities in Tarrant County, including Grapevine, Keller, Southlake and surrounding. About two million people reside in Tarrant County, accounting for over seven percent of the entire population that calls the state of Texas home. Around sixty percent of the residents of Tarrant County, which has an estimate of approximately seven hundred and forty thousand housing units. These residents’ home values average about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Living in their homes for over one year, more than eighty percent of Tarrant County’s home owners have an annual income of greater than fifty thousand dollars.

The county, which was established in 1849, is abundant in old west history such as cattle drives and stage coaches. Fort Worth, one of Tarrant County’s major cities, is rich with the history and owns the bragging rights of being the largest stage coach station in the South West. This occurred once the Texas and Pacific Railroad reached the county and Fort Worth in 1876.

Similar to Fort Worth, Grapevine, one of the cities we service, is also full of historical hotspots. One being the Grapevine Vintage Railroad, which gives a peek into the 1920's Victorian style coaches. Two of the other cities we service, Keller and Southlake, neighbor each other and have a lot to offer. Southlake has a major and upscale shopping center called the Southlake Town Square. In 2009, Keller took seventh place in the CNN/Money Magazine’s ranking of “Top 100 Places to Live — America’s Best Small Towns”, which is listed every two years.
