There are parts of childhood that families still want to hold onto. Walking to elementary school. Riding bikes through the neighborhood. Friday night football. Spending summer afternoons at the pool and knowing other families when you get there.
Those experiences are part of the appeal of Silo Mills, an 840-acre master-planned community between Godley and Joshua in Johnson County. Here, families can enjoy the traditions and space that come with small-town living while staying connected to Fort Worth.
Walking to School
Walking to school has long been a childhood rite of passage. At first, it may mean walking hand-in-hand with a parent. A few years later, it might be making the trip with siblings or friends.
Pleasant View Elementary School is located within Silo Mills and serves students in Godley ISD, allowing families to make that tradition part of everyday life.
Having a school in the neighborhood also creates connections that extend beyond the school day. Classmates are neighbors. Parents see familiar faces around the community. School events become neighborhood events.
Growing Up in a Small Town
Godley still has many of the traditions people associate with growing up in a Texas town, from homecoming to Friday night football. For families at Silo Mills, that sense of community is paired with a neighborhood designed to give kids plenty to do close to home.
Hiking and biking trails wind through the community, along with parks, green spaces and playgrounds. There’s a fishing pond for an afternoon with a parent or grandparent and a resort-style pool for long Texas summers.
The places where families spend their free time are right in the neighborhood.
A Little More Room
Space is another reason families are looking beyond Fort Worth as they consider where to live.
Silo Mills offers a range of home sizes and floor plans from multiple builders. Current builders Bloomfield Homes, Risewell Homes and Chesmar Homes offer homes ranging from approximately 1,660 to 4,200 square feet, with prices starting in the $299s.
That range gives families options as their needs change, whether that means another bedroom, space to work from home or simply more room to spread out.
Fort Worth Is Still Close
Living in a smaller community doesn't put the city far away. Silo Mills is located west of the Chisholm Trail Parkway, with downtown Fort Worth and Sundance Square approximately 30 minutes away. The Shops at Clearfork and major medical centers are approximately 25 minutes from the community.
Families can head into Fort Worth for work, dinner or a Saturday outing and come home to a quieter setting.
The Everyday Things
Choosing where to raise a family often comes down to fairly ordinary moments: the walk to school, an evening bike ride, seeing friends at the pool or heading to a Friday night football game.
Silo Mills gives families a place where many of those experiences can still be part of growing up.
