| Dimension | Keller | Heritage |
|---|---|---|
| Vintage & feel | 1980s–2000s depth; genuinely mature trees, larger lots | 2000s master-planned; trees grown in, standard suburban lots |
| Price band | Established-suburb premium; estate pockets above | Wider band; the spine's most attainable established stock |
| Out the door | Old Town core, classic suburb retail | Heritage Trace retail, finished trail systems |
| Schools | Keller ISD home base | Mostly Keller ISD — edge streets verify |
| Jobs geometry | Best to Westlake via 377/170 | Best to Alliance engine; Westlake moderate via 170 |
The honest tiebreaker: if lot size and old-growth maturity are the point — and the budget reaches — Keller. If you want established living priced closer to the corridor's entry points, with the jobs engine minutes away, Heritage is the spine's best-kept non-secret. Sellers in both hold strong hands; see Keller and spine pocket playbooks. Compiled August 2026.
