About Cresson

Sitting about 25 miles southwest of Fort Worth along Highway 377, Cresson is a small crossroads community surrounded by open Texas ranchland. With fewer than 1,500 residents, it offers a quiet rural setting while keeping you connected to the larger metro area. Commuters can easily head northeast into Fort Worth or take a quick 15-minute drive southwest to enjoy the historic square and lake in Granbury. Because the town borders three different counties, local students attend either Granbury, Aledo, or Godley school districts depending on where they live.

Church in Cresson

The area's most famous attraction is MotorSport Ranch, a private road-racing country club with multiple tracks and automotive shops that brings driving enthusiasts from all over the region. Outside of the track, life here is relaxed and unhurried, with plenty of room to spread out on larger lots or acreage. For anyone looking for country living within an easy drive of city conveniences, Cresson strikes a great balance.
