Just south of Fort Worth, Johnson County is one of North Texas’s fast-growing suburban counties. Its seat is Cleburne, but cities like Burleson, Joshua, and Alvarado are booming commuter hubs. Established in 1854, the county shifted from ranching and farming to modern suburban development. Today, it’s heavily suburban with rural edges, with easy access to Fort Worth via I-35W and Chisholm Trail Parkway. Housing includes historic homes in Cleburne, suburban subdivisions in Burleson, and rural estates on the county’s outskirts. Prices range widely: most homes fall $280,000–$450,000, while new suburban builds and luxury estates exceed $500,000. Land near commuter corridors sells $25,000–$50,000 per acre, while rural tracts farther south are cheaper.
