A Caution About Farm To Market Roads
If relocating from a suburban environment, please be aware that FM Roads mean Farm To Market Road so remain alert.
Part of the charm of this area is it still has working farms and imagine this, farmers!.
It is not unusual to come over a hill or curve to find a slow moving vehicle like a tractor, hay wagon, farm trailer or even a local Realtor, Keith Laursen on horseback!
The sign reads Van Alstyne population 3,046 but it’s actually much more and will be updated with the 2020 Census.
