Benbrook Texas lies about 15 miles Southwest of Fort Worth, Texas. It's about a
30 minute commute outside of rush hour times, depending on where you need to go
in Fort Worth. Benbrook is a middle class suburb with a very mild climate. It
gets only about 3 inches of snow a year, almost never enough to even stick to
the ground. Temperatures range from highs of about 95 F in August to around 33 F
in January. It's definitely where many Fort Worth commuters choose to live.
Tarrant County's school for the deaf is also located here, so many people with
deaf family members choose Benbrook for this reason. The largest employer within
the Benbrook city limits is Weatherford Industries. Benbrook's population is
currently around 23,000. The median income for a family is about $63,529.

Things to do in Benbrook
First off, one thing you can't do in Benbrook is buy a beer. Residents voted to
make any sales of alcohol illegal awhile back, and they're sticking with it. Now
that we've got that over with, the main attraction here is Benbrook Lake. It's
one of the nicer public spaces near Fort Worth, and one of the great things
about it is that all the land around it is public property. Which means that
apartment dwellers can have access, without having to worry about being run off
of someone's private land.
Benbrook Lake has just about all a lake can offer, including camping, fishing,
hunting, boating, birdwatching, hiking, horseback riding, picnicking,
playgrounds, sporting areas, marinas, golf courses, AND stables! What more could
you want or have in a lake area?
