A Neighborhood City
Bartlett is a city primarily of detached single-family homes, served by extensive retail, office, and industrial centers along Stage Road/Highway 64 (an east-west arterial crossing the city).
In addition, smaller, neighborhood-serving commercial centers are springing up near the newer residential areas well to the north of Stage Road, toward the Loosahatchie River. (More information on Bartlett Neighborhoods)
