Life's a Celebration in Grapevine
"All aboard" the Grapevine Vintage Railroad in Historic Downtown Grapevine. If a round-trip ride from Grapevine's Cotton Belt Railroad Depot to Fort Worth's Historic Stockyards Station in an 1896 steam locomotive isn't your style, you could try a visit to one of the nine Texas wineries located in Grapevine.
Perhaps you want to take a stroll down Grapevine's Main Street to see the restored Palace Arts Theatre, home of the Grapevine Opry. Just be sure to check out Main Street's other historic buildings housing all types of stores and galleries offering antiques, arts, and handcrafted items. You'll even find the town Blacksmith there.
While Grapefest may be the best known festival Grapevine hosts, there is a celebration going on in town almost every month.
Grapevine seems to host festivals and events almost every month. The New Vintage Wine Trail in April shows off the new vintage release from Grapevine's wineries. In May, Main Street Days celebrates the start of summer. July 4th is the Annual Fireworks Extravaganza Over Lake Grapevine.
GrapeFest, probably the best known festival the city hosts, is held in September. In October, monarch butterflies migrate from Canada to Mexico right through Grapevine so the city invites guests to the annual Butterfly Flutterby.... I could go on, and on. And on. But you get the idea. There's always something happening in Grapevine!
Hometown Atmosphere: Grapevine's at the Center of it All
You can see why residents of Grapevine love this unique little town. Located just north of DFW International Airport, and sitting at the confluence of 7 major highways, commuters find they have easy access to employment centers. Those home buyers seeking real estate in Grapevine will find a variety of homes to choose from. Available Grapevine real estate includes all ages, styles, and price ranges.
When we moved to Grapevine we fell in love with the charm of Main Street. I guess that's kind of funny because the neighborhood in Grapevine we live in isn't even on that side of Highway 114. But there's still something about being a part of the activity in the city we love. And we do take advantage of being near the lake every weekend as part of a group that bikes the trails. The reason we looked at houses for sale in Grapevine to begin with is the schools. We still feel it's a great choice.
In 1991, the City of Grapevine created the Historic Preservation Commission and adopted a Historic Preservation Ordinance to protect the city's rich, unique architectural heritage.
Very few of the city's homes are affected by those ordinances, but Grapevine's residents enjoy the advantages of living around historic neighborhoods protected from inappropriate changes. Maintaining the city's visual architectural character ensures all can enjoy Grapevine's rich architectural heritage well into the future.
Added to the National Register in 2010, the 5.2 acre Thomas J. and Elizabeth Nash Farm is located on Grapevine's Ball Street. The farm is owned by the city and operated as a heritage farm museum by the City of Grapevine. By Renelibrary - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0

Perhaps the crowning jewel of the Grapevine Parks and Recreation Department is The REC. More than 7,000 square feet of weight machines, treadmills, stair climbers, bikes, elliptical machines, dumbbells await if you indulged too much at Main Street Fest. Personal trainers are available, too. If you're not quite ready to take on a new and improved exercise regime you could always float the lazy river at the center's indoor pool.
The REC offers classes for preschool through seniors. You can learn to ballroom dance, paint, or get your yoga on. Be sure and check it out: it's located east of Main Street on the south side of Nash.
Sports for Locals
Grapevine offers a host of sports clubs for both youth and adults. There are the typical softball, volleyball, and basketball leagues in addition to an adult kickball league. (To let you get back at those kids in high school, at least in your own mind. Note to self, check into it...). The city boasts four sports complexes for residents including:
Bear Creek Baseball & Softball Fields
Heritage Park: The first park in Grapevine. Playgrounds, tennis courts, basketball courts, and more.
Meadowmere Park Soccer Field

Getting Into Nature

Dove Loop Boat Ramp
Farris Branch Boat Ramp

Lakeview Boat Ramp
McPherson Slough Boat Ramp
Meadowmere Lane Boat Ramp
Sand Bass Point Boat Ramp
Are Splash Activities More Your Style?

So grab your tennis shoes and see some of the best sites in town including the city's Public Art Trail, a self-guided walking tour in the Historic District between the Cotton Belt Depot and Northwest Highway. The artwork along the trail showcases the people and places that make up Grapevine's history.
A Wilderness Welcome, Sunday Skating and BR Wall, just a few of the statues along the art trail.
Discovering Grapevine Real Estate: From Character Homes to New Construction
When it comes to the Grapevine housing market there's plenty to get excited about. From historic downtown bungalows to almost new homes with basements (yes, basements in Texas), Grapevine homes for sale offer a wide, eclectic variety of homes.
You'll find new builds in the heart of the Historic District that cater to modern tastes as well as historic character homes that are as distinctive as the neighborhood itself.

There are some affordable options, but there are also newer executive homes.
