Fort Worth, in Tarrant County, is the western anchor of the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex and proudly wears the nickname “Where the West Begins.” Founded in 1849 as an Army outpost overlooking the Trinity River, it grew from cattle trails and stockyards into a modern metropolis of nearly a million residents. Its roots are cowboy, but its future is aviation, logistics, finance, and technology—anchored by American Airlines’ headquarters, the Joint Reserve Base, and Texas Christian University (TCU). The downtown area blends heritage and progress, with the Sundance Square district offering theaters, restaurants, and live music. The Stockyards remain an international tourist draw, while newer growth sprawls west toward Weatherford and north toward Keller and Alliance Airport. Housing runs the spectrum: early-1900s bungalows, postwar ranchers, luxury high-rises, and suburban new builds in master-planned communities. Average resale homes hover $300,000–$450,000, while upscale neighborhoods like Tanglewood, Westover Hills, and Clearfork top $1 million. Land on the city’s fringes averages $40,000–$80,000 per acre depending on utilities. Fort Worth connects seamlessly to Dallas via I-30 and the Trinity Railway Express, yet feels distinct—less glossy, more grounded, and still proud of its longhorn-and-cowtown soul.
