Downtown Denton, a neighborhood of liveliness and art
Decorated by vivid murals and ornate storefronts, Downtown Denton is an eclectic neighborhood centered around The Square, where the former Denton Courthouse serves as an anchor. This historic sector of century-old construction doesn’t just feature diverse restaurants and specialty shops; it’s the main gathering point for the community. "We have such a vibrant square, and it's so active. All the shops are owned by locals who have passion for their business," says local resident Marla Carrico, a real estate broker with Carrico and Associates. Found 40 miles from Dallas, Downtown Denton also sees fluctuation in its resident population throughout the year, as the University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University campuses reside in the area. "The schools bring in such diversity. Young people from all over the world come here for school and are a real part of our community," Carrico says.
Local food scenes and nighttime hang-outs
Downtown Denton is alive day and night with people heading to old record shops and restaurants, flooding into small bars for drinks and live music when out with friends. The Austin Street Truck Stop hosts outdoor seating with multiple local food trucks, while Jupiter House has a mellow vibe to serve alongside lattes and fresh pastries along the historic strip of Locust Street. Andy's Bar and Dan's Silverleaf are both known for having live music nearly every night, hosting genres from across the board. "Wild Cactus is so cute. It's got like 100 margaritas, so of course we always go there," Blad says. "Queenie's Steakhouse is right off the square, and the menu changes all the time. Tim Love, the owner, named it after his mom who's since passed. You'd always see her sitting at the same table in there."
The expansive North Lakes Park
North Lakes Park, at a massive 351 acres, features a sports complex, two running-walking trails, three playgrounds, a dog park, a basketball court and a recreation center with a gym. The park also contains an 18-hole disc golf course established in 2021 for leisurely competition around the lake. For those ready to cast a line, North Lakes also features a fishing pond on the campus with catfish, carp and bass in the water. "The Greenbelt walking trail is popular, and there are lots of lake activities since Denton is surrounded by them," Carrico says.
Finding community in Downtown's notable annual events
The Bayless-Selby House Museum offers visitors the history of Denton in a Victorian-style house museum on Mulberry Street, and it puts on events year-round, most notably the Community Market. The Denton Community Market is a producer-only art and farmer's market in Downtown Denton that draws heavy foot traffic to The Square from April to November. Meanwhile, the Denton Arts and Jazz Festival draws thousands each year in the fall. "The Arts and Jazz Fest is a can't miss; I mean, people come from all over, its hugely attended and amazing to see," Carrico says. "The Fourth of July Parade is so cute, you can sign up for free to walk in it. The city of Denton does a great job of always having fun stuff for the community – none of it excludes anyone."
From classic midcentury homes to modern condos
Home styles in Downtown Denton offer variety, as homes dating from the midcentury stand aside early 2000s construction. Ranch, cottage and cross-gable homes built between 1960 and 1980 stand, while new construction in the renovated corridors provides an updated take on earth-tone brick homes. Shared living options, from modern condos to duplexes, have become increasingly popular with the flux of population that comes from the local students. "Number one, I tell people that the college makes Denton a great place to invest in rental properties," Carrico says. "But everyone loves living around downtown, so it's not all renters. We've got a lot of young professionals and post-graduates buying here because Denton has a lot of employment opportunities." Condos typically sell for around $180,000, midcentury homes between $250,000 and $400,000, and large contemporary properties between $500,000 and $700,000.
On the pathway to Denton High
The Denton Independent School District serves public schools, and children can start their academic journey at Rivera Elementary, which receives a B on Niche and maintains a small student-teacher ratio of 12-1. Students move on to Calhoun Middle, also graded with a B, before heading to Denton High. With an overall A-minus, Denton High is one of the highest-rated public high schools in Denton County and is one of only 50 International Baccalaureate World Schools in Texas. "Because of UNT and TW, Denton is bigger than your average town. We have NCTC too, a junior college that helps many young people start their careers," says Lori Blad, Realtor for LB Luxury Homes Group with Keller Williams. She grew up in Denton and now lives only 10 minutes away. "The community gets a lot of doctoral students; a lot of music students, too."
Navigating the DFW
Downtown is bordered by Interstate 35, with Dallas found 40 miles to the southeast. The area has wide sidewalks and bike lanes for those who want to get around without an engine. The Denton County Transportation Authority has bus stops along main roads alongside the Downtown Denton Transit Center for rideshare options.
