Sure, choosing Fort Worth’s top 10 neighborhoods is a subjective task and, let’s face it, there are a plethora of fantastic Fort Worth neighborhoods that could have made the list. Fort Worth is known for many things, including its pro-business climate, its comfortable, year-round weather, and its affordable real estate. But it also has plenty of great neighborhoods that feature everything from historical bungalows to exclusive estate homes.

With that said, here is our list of Fort Worth’s Top 10 Neighborhoods (in no particular order):

  1. Tanglewood – Located about five miles from Fort Worth’s Central Business District, Tanglewood is a popular neighborhood for city professionals. It runs along the Trinity River and most of the homes here are of the ranch variety. We like this neighborhood for the affordable real estate found here, as well as the unique topography, as the streets often curve to fit the contours of the river. This community is also family friendly, as it features a well-traveled trail on which residents often bike and walk.
  2. Mira Vista – Located about seven miles from the Fort Worth Central Business District, the exclusive, gated community of Mira Vista features a gated, guarded entrance and a picturesque golf course that winds through the community. From the sparkling lakes and nature trail to the towering trees, Mira Vista is beautifully landscaped. Mira Vista also boasts a country club, complete with a swimming pool. We like Mira Vista because it offers a wide variety of real estate, from modest, two-story homes to exclusive estates.
  3. Monticello – Monticello, which is located just two miles from downtown Fort Worth, features winding streets over which towering trees hang. Monticello real estate ranges from modest, one-story homes to larger, Spanish and Colonial Revival homes. Monticello also boasts an active neighborhood association, which hosts many family activities and events throughout the year.
  4. Westover Hills – Westover Hills is an exclusive neighborhood that is completely surrounded by Fort Worth, thereby making it extremely popular among city professionals. Westover Hills, although it is located near the city, is quite secluded. It is common to see large homes on even larger lots, and many of the homes are architecturally significant. In fact, about 30 homes in this neighborhood are listed in the Tarrant County Historic Resources Survey that is published by the Historic Preservation Council.
  5. River Crest – Located just three miles from Fort Worth’s Central Business District, River Crest is an historic neighborhood built around a country club and golf course. Many of the homes feature Mediterranean and Tudor Revival architectural styles and 31 of the homes in this community are listed in Tarrant County Historic Resources Survey that is published by the Historic Preservation Council for Tarrant County. We like that this neighborhood features both newer and older homes and a number of large lots and interesting architecture.
  6. Arlington Heights – Arlington Heights made our list because it is located just four miles from downtown Fort Worth, thereby making it ideal for city commuters. We also like that it boasts some of the best architecture from the 1920s and 1930s, including cottages and bungalows. Although most homes in this neighborhood date back to the 1950s, the homes are very well maintained and many people enjoy walking the quiet streets. Arlington Heights also has one of the lowest crime rates in Fort Worth, making it a very family friendly community.
  7. Mont Del – We love Mont Del because it is situated up in the hills, thereby offering fantastic views. This established neighborhood features a lake, homes of many sizes and price points and a strong neighborhood feel. Although most of the homes in this neighborhood are older, the community of Country Day Estates offers new homes, townhomes and apartments.
  8. Crestwood – Crestwood is located in a bend of the West Fork of the Trinity River and is less than two miles from Fort Worth’s Central Business District. It is also located next to the Monticello neighborhood. Smaller bungalows are found throughout Crestwood, thereby making this neighborhood ideal for first-time home buyers; and the quiet, winding streets and towering trees make this neighborhood quite picturesque.
  9. Ryan Place – Ryan Place is located just three miles from Fort Worth’s Central Business District and boasts many historic homes. We love this historic neighborhood because of its wide, tree-lined streets, ornamental streetlights and elaborate historic homes that range from Mediterranean to Period Revival.
  10. Park Hill – Park Hills is located just three miles from Fort Worth’s Central Business District. This neighborhood features majestic homes that boast Spanish and Tudor Revival architecture. This neighborhood is a nice mix of new and home, and the ornamental streetlights and mature trees provide the perfect backdrop to these homes.
