| Dimension | Justin | Haslet |
|---|---|---|
| Best-served badge | NISD families; 114-corridor workers accepting the 156 run | Alliance logistics spine and BNSF — single-digit-to-teens minutes |
| Commute artery | FM 156 south — growing volume | Direct spine adjacency |
| Schools | Northwest ISD home base | NISD / EMS ISD split — address check essential |
| Acreage side | Genuine land, small-town core intact | Genuine land, industrial neighbor at closest edges |
| New-phase side | Historically opened below southern-corridor pricing | Standard incentive playbook; infrastructure investment active |
The honest tiebreaker: if your badge is on the logistics spine, Haslet's proximity is the whole argument — shift math included. If your anchor is NISD's home base or you're pricing maximum house per dollar and can absorb the 156, Justin. Acreage seekers: both, and let the specific parcel decide. Compiled August 2026.
