Denton County, Texas
Denton County is just north of Dallas-Fort Worth. The county seat, Denton, is home to two universities, University of North Texas and Texas Woman’s University.
But drive a few miles out and you’re in horse country. You can still find ranches everywhere on the landscape. The county’s grown like crazy in recent years. New subdivisions keep popping up.
Still, there’s charm in the old town squares. Music is a big deal here. Grab a beer and catch a show any night of the week. Lake Lewisville is a hot spot in summer. Boats, beaches, and barbecues. It’s Texas living at its finest.
