Krugerville in Denton County is a small city with a neighborly vibe
Krugerville, about 50 miles from Dallas and Fort Worth, has a cozy slogan: the "City of Neighborly Warmth." "It's that small-town feel where you look out for your neighbor, and you help your neighbor. There's a neighborhood where kids alternate between which house they all go to, like depending on who has a pool. They'll all be at one house, and the next week, they'll go to somebody else's house," says Erin VonPongracz, a Realtor with Inc Realty.

Founded by the Krugers and incorporated in 1973
Krugerville was founded by L.H. Kruger and his wife Willie May after they purchased and began to develop more than 300 acres in the area in the 1960s. The community was officially incorporated in 1973 and has expanded since then. Though fairly rural, it's part of the DFW Metroplex, the metropolitan area around Dallas and Fort Worth, which includes a dozen counties. Krugerville is in Denton County and has a population of about 2,000, according to U.S. Census estimates. "It's a relatively small community, kind of tucked in between Cross Roads, which nobody has heard of, and Aubrey, which is larger. You almost can't tell where Aubrey begins and Krugerville ends," VonPongracz says.
A wide range of home styles and prices in Krugerville
Krugerville has a variety of home types and prices. "You have some higher-end homes, you have lower-end, and you have middle," VonPongracz says, referring to pricing. Among the older homes are 1960s to '80s ranch-style homes, listing from about $320,000 to $580,000. More common are those built in the 21st century, like contemporary homes with multicar garages. They range from 1,500 square feet to 4,000 square feet and are about $280,000 to $1 million.
One neighborhood that stands out is The Woodlands, where streets have names like Live Oak, Texas Ash and Redbud drives, and homes built in the 2010s are considered old. "There are also new builds, and they're on large lots of half-an-acre or more, with trees. You know you don't find that a lot in North Texas. They are often crunched in on quarter-acre lots or less," VonPongrac says.

Woodland Park events, the Peanut Festival and lakeside activities
Within walking distance of homes in the Woodlands is Woodland Park, which has paved walking trails, picnic areas and a pond with a dock, often used for fishing. The Krugerville Farmer's Market is at the park twice a month on Sundays from March to November, a spooky edition of the market takes place in October and holiday markets and a tree lighting are in December. The park also hosts the Krugerville Park Fest and Car Show in June. Other area events include the Aubrey Peanut Festival in October, which features a parade and was first held in 1986.
There are plenty of places for outdoor recreation, including water sports, as Krugerville is between two lakes. Ray Roberts Lake State Park, which is spread out in nine areas, offers swimming, horseback riding, hiking and camping. To the south, Lewisville Lake has similar recreational opportunities, a nature preserve, and public golf courses. Frisco, about 20 miles southeast, is home to the Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) of America, with the Omni PGA Frisco Resort and the Fields Ranch at PGA Frisco, which hosts multiple major championships.

Agricultural businesses, places to eat and options for groceries
Some industrial or manufacturing companies, and agriculture, are all a big part of the local culture. Horse stables and ranches are among the businesses in the area. "North of Krugerville is primarily known as horse country. It's really beautiful. There are a lot of farms around that will offer horseback riding or lessons or boarding," VonPongracz says.
Ernesto's Mexican Restaurant, a regional Tex-Mex chain, is in Krugerville on U.S. Route. A bit farther up the highway, in Aubrey, are Luigi's Pizza & Pasta and Giulia's Café, which offers all-day breakfast. Aubrey also has boutiques, an equine-inspired art gallery and a small museum. "There's not really a downtown Krugerville, but Aubrey has a cute little downtown on Main Street with mom-and-pops," VonPongracz says. Spring Market in Aubrey is a brand of the Brookshire Grocery Company. For more extensive shopping, there's a Walmart Supercenter about 5 miles south of Krugerville in Cross Roads and an Aldi about 6 miles away in Providence Village.

Students may attend schools in the Aubrey Independent School District
Public schools are in the Aubrey Independent School District, which serves several communities in Denton County. A $385-million bond package passed in 2022 led to renovations and construction of new schools, and enrollment is expected to double by 2031. Students living in Krugerville may attend Brockett Elementary School, which earns an A-minus grade from Niche. Brocket has received a National Promising Practice Award and designation as a National School of Character. At the next levels, Aubrey Middle School and Aubrey High School both receive a B.

A car-dependent crossroads with easy access to highways
Though sidewalks aren't standard, there are walkable areas, as most residential streets are set apart from thoroughfares and relatively calm. Otherwise, the community is car dependent. U.S. 377 runs north-south, bisecting Krugerville, and to the south is U.S. Route 380, an east-west corridor. "Krugerville is basically kind of a crossroads. It's on the outskirts, yet it's still relatively easy to get anywhere," VonPongracz says. Baylor Scott & White Emergency Hospital and Guadalupe Medical Center are about 9 miles to the southeast. A trip southwest to the city of Denton, a hub for the region, is about 12 miles. The Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is about 35 miles south.
