Roanoke Built a Reputation on Restaurants. What Does $545K Buy There?

So, you’re a foodie. Certainly, there are plenty of great dining spots in both Fort Worth and Dallas, but you want something less crowded, in the suburbs. Let me introduce you to Roanoke, the Unique Dining Capital of Texas? The state legislature has bestowed this title twice on this suburb of about 11,000.

Roanoke has earned its bragging rights with more than 60 restaurants packed into a walkable, charming downtown that’s become a true dining destination. Oak Street is the celebrated street, lined with vintage buildings. This Central Roanoke Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places, with an eclectic mix of cuisines there and surrounding the area, too.

Modern Lifestyle Options

Roanoke sits along the southern border, bumping against the Tarrant County line. As its popularity has grown, the housing options here include both vintage and more contemporary abodes.

For example, there’s 344 Falstaff Dr., built in 2010 and on the market now at $545,000. Located in Roanoke’s Briarwyck neighborhood, this four‑bedroom, two-full-bath, and one-half-bath house offers a modern layout so popular right now. The open‑concept floor plan connects the kitchen, living areas, and dining spaces in this 3,035-square-foot house. There’s a dedicated home office for that work-from-home option, and the upstairs game room adds a casual living space. The two-story comes with all the amenities expected today. From stone countertops to a gas fireplace to walk-in closets, the house stands ready for its next owner wanting the modern conveniences. The design also includes gentle archways, repeated throughout the house, vaulted ceilings, and decorative hardware.

The modern Texas lifestyle extends to the backyard, too. An expansive covered outdoor living area stretches across the full length of the house. An attractive wooden pergola and a cozy fire pit accentuate the backyard, making it a spot built for family hangouts and weekend barbecues.

Popular Perks

Pair the housing options, charming downtown, and the dining choice with Northwest Independent School District, one of the fastest‑growing school districts in North Texas. The district supports three high schools, Byron Nelson, Eaton, and Northwest, along with James M. Steele Early College High School.

Roanoke’s location gives it an edge. It’s sitting just minutes from major highways linking the town to Fort Worth in Tarrant County and the University of North Texas in Denton. With quick access to U.S. 377, SH 114, and I‑35W, residents can commute to downtown Fort Worth, reach UNT’s campus, or connect to the wider North Texas for jobs, entertainment, and, of course, dining options…in this town with many unique dining options.
