West Mansfield is a walkable community ready to grow

West Mansfield is ready to grow. After years of watching other parts of Mansfield add amenities, the primarily residential neighborhood is getting its moment. The city is undertaking a “Western Promise” initiative to create mixed-use developments and improve the community’s connection to other parts of the area. It has also purchased 100 acres of undeveloped land to create a nature preserve with bike trails. “It’s a mix of the old and the new,” says Julie Short, a Realtor with Texas Real Estate HQ. “You can get to the historic downtown area, but you also will have all these developments, and they are adding walkability.” Until those projects are complete, the neighborhood still has top schools and several nearby green spaces.
