Along North Locust Street sits McKamy Evers, a Denton suburb on the farthest tipping point of the booming Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Its residents are within reach of multiple shopping centers, like University Village, a water park and 300 acres spanning across its 30 parks. "There are so many parks that you have pretty good access to, like Evers Park and the one on Bonnie Brae Street, North Lakes Park," says local Realtor Kaki Lybbert with Century 21 Judge Fite Company. "Yet it's also a pretty established residential area with big cities nearby." Within a mile's drive is an expanding downtown, so well-known for its musical talent and big-city arts that the city of Denton has found itself on Paste Magazine's list of the nation's Best Music Scenes. It's a bragging right heavily influenced by the presence of three universities: University of North Texas, Texas Woman's University and North Central Texas College.

Homes
Near North Elm Street and North Locust Street are brick, ranch-style homes with built-in garages. Moving farther from these two main streets are newer subdivisions from the early 2000s, some with plans for future developer-led builds. Lybbert says McKamy Evers is a medium-priced neighborhood, and the older homes in the area are in line with the average home cost in Denton, which is $349,000; however, older three-bedroom homes exist, selling for roughly $290,000. The newer subdivisions – especially the ones in the King's Ridge community – will be at least $380,000 for three bedrooms, with five-bedroom houses selling for more than $480,000.

Downtown Denton has a host of local eateries, including Sleeping Lizzards and Rooster's Roadhouse on South Locust Street. Locals head to one of the many sports bars and cocktail lounges around West Oak and East Hickory Street for a quick sip after dinner. Neighbors often run into each other at the Denton Community Market, their four-legged friends in tow.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
