Best Neighborhoods in Hurst

The best neighborhood in Hurst depends on your budget and school district. South Hurst has most of the homes under $300,000; north Hurst runs higher and reaches into four school districts.

These are the 14 Hurst neighborhoods with nine or more home sales in the past 12 months, sorted by median price. The names are MLS subdivision names, and the figures cover single-family sales through Nov. 7, 2026.

• South Hurst (76053) is where most of the city's lower-priced homes are: a median of $305,000 over the past year, mostly ranch homes from the 1950s and '60s. Nine in ten Hurst sales under $300,000 were in 76053.
• North Hurst (76054) runs higher, with a median of $456,750 for homes built around 1985. It's also where Hurst crosses into Birdville, Keller, and Grapevine-Colleyville ISDs.
• Adkins Park is Hurst's new construction: 20 homes sold in the past year, built in 2025 and 2026, at $952,000 to $1.41 million, including homes by Toll Brothers.

Schools

Most of Hurst is in Hurst-Euless-Bedford ISD (HEB ISD), but about a third of the Hurst homes sold in the past year were in another district. Almost all of those were in north Hurst (76054).

Some neighborhoods split between two districts, including Hurst Hills, Mayfair North, Woodbridge, and Lonesome Dove Estates. A Hurst address doesn't guarantee a campus, and attendance boundaries change, so confirm the district and campus for the exact address before you commit. Campus ratings are on txschools.gov, the state's accountability site.

What to Expect Cost-Wise

Hurst single-family homes sold for a median of $380,000 in the 90 days ending Nov. 7, 2026, across 85 sales. The middle half sold for $300,000 to $495,000. Over the past 12 months, the median was $355,000 across 402 sales, and quarterly medians from November 2025 through October 2026 stayed between $325,000 and $390,000.

Other costs to plan for:

• Property taxes are a significant ongoing cost, so budget for them monthly. My Texas property tax guide explains how they work.
• HOA dues vary by block, and many older homes have no HOA.
• Texas has no state income tax, which matters if you're coming from a high-income-tax state.

Hurst Property Tax Rate

Hurst addresses fall in four school districts, and the district is the biggest piece of your tax rate. These are the 2026 adopted rates per $100 of taxable value, from the Tarrant County Tax Assessor-Collector.

On the $380,000 median sale price, an HEB ISD home works out to about $8,300 a year before exemptions. Homestead exemptions bring that down. Both the city and HEB ISD raised their rates for 2026: the city from $0.611882 to $0.668422, and HEB ISD from $1.0289 to $1.0526.

The Hurst Market Right Now

Hurst homes sold fast in early summer and more slowly as fall arrived.

September was the slowest month in the table, and October picked back up. Read any single month as a direction, not a forecast. On Nov. 9, 81 homes were for sale, about 2.9 months of supply at the recent sales pace, and 62% had already cut their price. In the 90 days ending Nov. 7, 29 listings were canceled or expired without selling — about one for every three that sold.

• For buyers: you have more room to negotiate than in spring. In those 90 days, 53% of sales included seller-paid costs, with a median of $7,500.
• For sellers: pricing right from day one matters more than it did in July. See what your home is worth, or read how pricing actually works.

Getting a Feel for the Community Before You Arrive

• Mature, tree-covered streets throughout most residential areas
• Older ranch-style homes on larger lots, many with renovations over the years, giving the housing stock real character and variety
• North East Mall and the surrounding retail corridor give the city a commercial hub, useful for day-to-day errands without a long drive
• Limited new construction — if you're specifically looking for a brand-new build, Hurst likely isn't the right fit, since the city is largely built out already

Practical Relocation Steps

1. Get pre-approved before house hunting, especially if your move is tied to a job start date.
2. Confirm the school district and campus for the exact address. Hurst addresses fall in four districts.
3. Expect to look at homes with some age on them. Since new construction is limited, budget time, and possibly money, for updates or renovations on an older home.
4. Compare commute times toward both Fort Worth and Dallas if your work could pull you either direction.
5. Ask about HOA status early, since it varies block to block in an older, established city like Hurst.
6. Visit in person if possible. Hurst's appeal is largely about feel: mature streets and established character.

Who Hurst Fits

• Buyers who want short commutes in both the Fort Worth and Dallas directions
• Buyers who value mature, established neighborhoods over new construction
• Buyers who prioritize proximity to DFW Airport
• Buyers who want more house and land for the price compared to some neighboring suburbs
• Buyers who want a one-story home: 85% of the Hurst homes sold in the past year were single-story

Bottom Line

Hurst offers a central Mid-Cities location between Fort Worth and Dallas, established neighborhoods, and mostly HEB ISD schools. The city is largely built out, so the housing stock skews older. Neighborhood medians run from $255,000 in Bellvue to $672,500 in Lonesome Dove Estates, with new construction in Adkins Park from $952,000 up.

Homes are taking longer to sell this fall, which gives buyers room to negotiate and makes pricing right from day one more important for sellers. Thinking of selling in Hurst? Find out what your home is worth or get a cash offer in 24 to 48 hours.
