Slaughter is an eclectic Texas suburb known for its schools

Centered around a reputable elementary school, Slaughter has a family oriented atmosphere with green spaces and eclectic homes on the city's west side. "It has master-planned communities, and there is quite a variety of properties, from small homes to large estates," says Leigh Calvert, an area local and broker associate at Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty.
