Crandall Living
Overall a great family town
On Mar 28, 2008
Best reasons to live here: It is a very close community. You will most likely know almost everyone, and the people of Crandall are very willing to help out a neighbor in need. There are not many things to do. The closest movie theater is in Forney and the closest mall is Terrell. There are not many parks, but there are many fields that are great for taking pictures in the bluebonnets. The history of Crandall is very rich. All and all it is a great place to raise a family. The diversity when it comes to race is almost none, which could be improved greatly.
