Bedford, Euless, and Hurst All at Once—No Fuss Required

About ZIP 76022

76022 sits at the crossroads of three Mid-Cities communities that share more than just borders—they share a rhythm. This is the part of Bedford where you can grab breakfast at The Buttermilk Cafe, run errands at Albertsons or Kroger, and still make it to a meeting in Fort Worth or Dallas without the kind of commute that requires a podcast queue. The ZIP pulls in pieces of Euless and Hurst too, giving residents access to Stormie Jones Park, Midway Park, and Valentine Park without needing to drive across town. It's a practical setup for people who want suburban ease but not suburban isolation.

The neighborhoods here don't announce themselves with grand entries or themed streetscapes. Instead, they're defined by proximity—who's closest to Central Drive Park, who's a five-minute walk from Corner Bakery, who backs up to the trails near Brook Hollow Park. Bedford's section of the ZIP leans residential with pockets of retail convenience: Walmart Neighborhood Market for the quick trips, Starbucks for the morning routine, and Pennington Field when the kids need to burn energy. Euless brings a bit more park density and a slightly younger vibe, while Hurst adds access to Target and a network of quiet streets that feel removed from the highway noise even when they're not.

Dining and socializing in 76022 means choosing your own intensity. Boomer Jack's Bar & Grill handles the casual weeknight crowd, while Fazenda Gaucha offers the kind of meal that requires advance notice and an empty stomach. MK's Sushi of Bedford, Pollo Regio, and Mexican Inn Cafe cover the regular rotation, and Firehouse Bar and Grill keeps things unpretentious. The fitness scene is equally straightforward—Texas Health Fitness Center HEB serves the gym regulars, while the parks handle everyone else. Bedford Snoball makes an appearance in summer, but this isn't a ZIP code built around novelty. It's built around repetition that works.

School assignments here split between Birdville ISD and Arlington ISD, with a handful of charter options like Harmony Science Academy and Treetops School International adding choice. Smithfield Middle and W A Porter Elementary pull strong ratings in Birdville, while Butler Elementary and Shackelford Junior High do the same for Arlington families. High schoolers might head to Richland, Birdville, or Lamar depending on their address, and the variety means families often compare boundary maps before they compare houses. The HOA presence is moderate—four associations with resale cert fees averaging $289—so some streets have them, some don't, and buyers can choose accordingly.

76022 works best for people who want to live near the action without being in it. It's not trying to be Southlake or downtown Fort Worth. It's the place you pick when you want a yard, a short drive to work, and the ability to hit three different grocery stores in ten minutes if one's out of what you need. The median home value hovers around $277,100, and the homeownership rate sits just below half, which means a solid mix of renters and owners sharing the same blocks. It's a ZIP code that rewards people who value function over flash and proximity over prestige.

Frequently Asked Questions About ZIP 76022

What is 76022 known for?

76022 is known as the practical heart of the Mid-Cities, where Bedford, Euless, and Hurst converge without much fanfare. It's the ZIP code people choose when they want suburban convenience, park access, and a commute that doesn't eat up their day. The identity here is less about prestige and more about function—residents know where to find the best taco spot, which park has the cleanest trails, and which grocery store has the shortest checkout line. It's not trying to compete with Southlake's polish or downtown Fort Worth's energy. Instead, 76022 offers a steady, middle-ground lifestyle where you can get to DFW Airport in fifteen minutes, grab dinner at Fazenda Gaucha or Pollo Regio, and still have time to walk the dog at Central Drive Park before dark. The ZIP doesn't lean heavily on any one amenity or landmark; it's the sum of small, reliable parts that make it work.

What neighborhoods are in 76022?

The neighborhoods in 76022 span three cities, but they share a similar suburban texture. Bedford's section includes quiet residential streets near Walmart Neighborhood Market and Starbucks, with easy access to Pennington Field and Brook Hollow Park. These blocks tend to attract families and professionals who want a low-key setup with solid proximity to retail and schools. Euless brings a slightly younger energy, with streets that back up to Stormie Jones Park and Midway Park—both popular for morning runs and weekend sports. The Euless portion also includes pockets near La Super Meat Market and quick highway access for commuters. Hurst rounds out the ZIP with neighborhoods close to Target, Valentine Park, and Corner Bakery, offering a mix of renters and owners who appreciate being near North Richland Hills without the higher price tags. There are no grand master-planned communities here, but the variety means you can choose your proximity—whether that's to parks, schools, or shopping—and find a street that fits.

Is 76022 good for families?

76022 works well for families who want suburban space, school choice, and parks within walking or biking distance. The ZIP splits between Birdville ISD and Arlington ISD, giving families options depending on where they land. Smithfield Middle and W A Porter Elementary in Birdville both pull A ratings, while Butler Elementary and Shackelford Junior High do the same for Arlington families. High school assignments vary—Richland, Birdville, and Lamar all serve parts of the ZIP—so families often compare attendance zones before committing to a house. Charter schools like Harmony Science Academy and Treetops School International add more options for parents who want alternatives. Beyond schools, the park network is one of the ZIP's strongest family draws. Stormie Jones Park, Midway Park, Central Drive Park, and Valentine Park all offer playgrounds, trails, and open space without requiring a weekend road trip. Dining is family-friendly too, with spots like Chili's, Mexican Inn Cafe, and The Buttermilk Cafe handling the regular rotation. The homeownership rate sits just under half, so there's a healthy mix of long-term residents and newer arrivals, and the HOA presence is moderate enough that families can choose whether they want one or not.

What is the housing market like in 76022?

The housing market in 76022 sits in the practical middle of the Mid-Cities range. The median home value hovers around $277,100, which is lower than Southlake or Colleyville but competitive with other parts of Bedford, Euless, and Hurst. The homeownership rate is just under fifty percent, meaning the ZIP has a solid mix of renters and owners, and turnover tends to be steady rather than frantic. You'll find a range of housing types here—single-family homes on quiet streets, some townhomes near retail corridors, and a handful of older properties that attract investors or buyers willing to renovate. The HOA presence is moderate, with four associations in the ZIP and average resale cert fees around $289, so some neighborhoods have them and others don't. Buyers who want new construction or cookie-cutter subdivisions will need to look elsewhere; 76022 skews toward established homes built in the 1980s and 1990s, with mature trees and layouts that reflect that era. The market here tends to attract first-time buyers, growing families, and people relocating within the Metroplex who want to stay close to work without stretching their budget. It's not flashy, but it's stable, and that's the appeal.

What is the commute like from 76022?

Commuting from 76022 is one of its strongest practical advantages. The ZIP sits near the intersection of major highways—Highway 121, State Highway 183, and Interstate 820—making it easy to reach Fort Worth, Dallas, or Arlington without backtracking. DFW Airport is about fifteen minutes away, which is a major draw for frequent travelers or airport employees. Downtown Fort Worth is a twenty-to-twenty-five-minute drive depending on traffic, and downtown Dallas is reachable in thirty to thirty-five minutes during off-peak hours. The Centreport area and Alliance corridor are both accessible for logistics and warehouse workers, and the Las Colinas business district is a straight shot east. Public transit options are limited—this is a car-dependent ZIP—but the highway access compensates. Rush hour can slow things down on 183 and 121, but the congestion is manageable compared to deeper suburban areas. For people working hybrid schedules or commuting a few days a week, 76022 offers the kind of central location that keeps drive times predictable.

How does 76022 compare to nearby ZIP codes?

Compared to nearby ZIP codes, 76022 offers a middle-ground option with fewer trade-offs. 76118 in Fort Worth sits just under four miles away and skews slightly older and more affordable, with a similar suburban feel but fewer park amenities. 76180 in North Richland Hills, about five miles north, brings more retail density and a bit more polish, but home values tend to run higher. 76120 in east Fort Worth is about five miles south and leans more urban, with lower home values and a grittier character. 76092 in Southlake, roughly eight miles northwest, is the aspirational comparison—higher incomes, top-rated schools, and home values that can double what you'd pay in 76022. The advantage of 76022 is that it borrows convenience from all three Mid-Cities without committing fully to any one of them. You get Bedford's retail access, Euless's parks, and Hurst's quiet streets, all while staying close enough to Fort Worth and Dallas to make the commute work. It's not the cheapest option, but it's not trying to be.
