Dalworthington Gardens began as a rural community, but has modernized
Dalworthington Gardens has Eleanor Roosevelt to thank for its growth. The former first lady of the United States selected the rural area to take part in a National Industrial Recovery Act homestead project in 1934, increasing its standard of living through subsistence agriculture, where farmers produce enough food to feed their families. Higher standards of living led to renovation. Today, the city, known casually as DWG, consists mainly of modern homes. It has volunteer police and fire departments, a mayor and a city council. Arlington surrounds it on three sides, while the town of Pantego sits to the north. Access to those areas' amenities is a perk of the community. “It’s highly desired,” says Gail Burdine, a Realtor with Austin Realty Consultants LLC. “Homes have a higher price point, but you have quick access to Interstate 20, so you can get to Dallas or Fort Worth. There are also good schools.”
Dalworthington Gardens is a tight‑knit community 10 minutes from Fort Worth.

Ranch-style and traditional homes on streets lined with mature trees
Brick ranch-style houses from the 1970s and 1980s often range from $240,000 to $400,000. Traditional homes from that era can go from $415,000 to $800,000. Contemporary properties are larger and typically sell between $660,000 and $1 million, with select residences closer to $2 million. “My last listing had multiple offers on the first day,” Burdine says. “People are looking here.” The area’s older asphalt roads can show cracks and usually lack sidewalks. They generally have curves and are lined with medium-sized mature trees. Mailboxes can sit on wooden posts or inside brick holders.
