Custard Farms, Where Cleburne Runs on Coffee Stops and Back-Home Errands

About Custard Farms

Custard Farms feels tied into the everyday Cleburne loop where quick errands and familiar food stops are part of the rhythm. On a typical morning, it’s the kind of area where a run to Albertsons is an easy habit, and meeting someone “by Scooter’s Coffee” makes sense because it’s only about a mile and a half away. When the day slows down, Carver Park sits close enough at around 2.9 miles to become the default spot for a casual walk or a quick change of scenery without making a big outing of it.

Housing here lines up with the broader 76031 pattern of settled, owner-occupied living, and you feel that stability in how neighbors treat the area. With a local homeownership rate around 78.2%, Custard Farms reads more like a place where people stay put, learn the shortcuts to their favorite restaurants, and recognize cars in driveways. The average home value of $200,200 keeps the neighborhood in a price band that attracts buyers who want a straightforward path to ownership in Cleburne rather than stretching for trend-driven pricing.

The neighborhood’s day-to-day identity is shaped by where residents actually spend time. Dinner plans often land on familiar choices like Taqueria Mexicano Estilo Jalisco or San Miguel Mexican Grill, both about 1.7 miles out, or something easy and consistent like IHOP near 1.1 miles. For a local nightcap, Chances is practically next door at about 0.2 miles, giving the area a lived-in, not-overproduced feel—more “regulars know your order” than destination nightlife.

Custard Farms also sits in a part of town where school conversations include more than one district. Cleburne ISD anchors local identity, with nearby campuses like Irving Elementary about 1.8 miles away and Cleburne High School around 4.4 miles out. At the same time, families comparing options often notice highly rated nearby schools in Joshua ISD and Keene ISD, including A-rated New Horizon High School and Keene High School within roughly four miles.

The people drawn to Custard Farms tend to like Cleburne for what it already is: a practical, drive-friendly Texas city where household routines—work, school pickups, and weekend meals—fit together without a lot of fuss. With a median household income of $69,155 and a median age of 39.9 in the surrounding ZIP area, it’s a place that reads as established, busy, and local-minded—more about steady comfort than constant change.

What we can spell out clearly is the property tax picture buyers budget for in 76031. The city property tax rate is $0.6125 per $100 of valuation, the county rate is $0.3893 per $100, and Cleburne ISD’s school district rate is $1.2119 per $100, bringing the combined estimated rate to about $2.2137 per $100 valuation.
