Today, it is mostly rural, though within commuting distance of Fort Worth (about 60 miles southeast). Housing stock includes older frame houses, mid-century ranchers, barndominiums, and custom rural builds. Jacksboro offers schools, a courthouse square, and nearby Lake Jacksboro for recreation. Prices for existing homes typically fall $160,000–$280,000, while land sells $8,000–$15,000 per acre depending on road access and utilities. Buyers include ranchers, commuters, and families wanting small-town life near DFW.
