East side Fort Wayne suburb with community and commercial convenience
Carter Riverside is a friendly Fort Worth community with a mix of slow suburban streets and lively commercial avenues. This narrow neighborhood has a little bit of everything, keeping its residents busy with an active neighborhood association that brings neighbors together for regular events. Shopping and dining destinations stretch across the south side of town, keeping weekly errands hassle-free. Roughly 3 miles from Downtown Fort Worth, Carter Riverside is convenient for commuters but quieter than more city-centric locations. “It's one of those great little secrets – it was underappreciated and undervalued for so long. Now it’s booming,” says Javier Puentes, Realtor at Stonebridge Real Estate, who has worked in the neighborhood for 19 years. The CAP Index crime score is seven in Carter Riverside, which is higher than the national average and some surrounding neighborhoods.

Celebrate Halloween at Boo on the Brae
The Crater Riverside Neighborhood Association (CRNA) was organized in 1995 to improve the quality of life for its residents. The neighborhood gathers regularly for beloved events like “Boo on the Brae,” a Halloween event hosted on its namesake boulevard, a Christmas social and a July 4th celebration at the local park. The CRNA also attends civic meetings like zoning hearings and actively lobbies for improvements to shared amenities like Sylvania Park and traffic intersections. Community members can stay on top of goings on via the Riverside Pride Newsletter, a seasonal newsletter complete with news and updates.
Ranch styles and cozy cottages on tree-lined streets
Though retail destinations are close by, the residential areas remain quiet. “The only thing that has affected the residents is the property value,” Puente says. “The high school used to be a pecan orchard – the trees are still there.” Ranch styles and cottages command the cozy architectural landscape in Carter Riverside, where the oaks and maples are as old as the homes, forming canopies over the quiet sidewalk-lined streets. Properties start around $175,000 for a modest three-bedroom and top off just over $600,000 for a spacious new build on a larger lot. Most listings sell for $250,000, which is significantly lower than the average Fort Worth residence, which lands around $350,000. “It used to be affordable – 20 years ago, you could buy a home for $60,000 or $70,000,” Puente says. Most find new owners within a month in this accessibly priced, well-positioned suburb.
