Central Meadowbrook
Older renovated homes
Most homes in Central Meadowbrook were built in the 1950s and 1960s. Moore says the area’s popularity has ebbed and flowed, but it’s currently on the upswing. “As time goes on, those areas kind of become less popular, but then the people discover the cool history of the area, and then it starts coming back. So, it’s going through a revitalization area right now, and it is very popular,” says Moore.Drive along the neighborhood’s tree-lined streets to find the neighborhood’s ranch-style homes from the middle of the 20th century. These homes come with brick and stone exteriors, triangular roofs and large windows. Some homes have built-in garages, but the ones without garages usually have a driveway. The wide streets of the neighborhood also offer plenty of room for parking. Because the area is seeing so much revitalization, finding an older home completely remodeled with updated floors, appliances and bathrooms is common. Moore adds that the neighborhood is an affordable one for Fort Worth. Three-bedroom houses are listed anywhere from $230,000 to $397,000. Overall, homes in the area cost between $172,000 to $464,000.
Additionally, there are not many Home Owners Associations in the area. The CAP Index crime score is 5 out of 10, above the national average of 4 out of 10. Most of the violent crime scores in Central Meadowbrook are 5 out of 10. Four environmental issues affect Fort Worth and most of Texas: heatwaves, droughts, wildfires/extreme weather events (like hurricanes), and rising sea levels. There are 250 places of worship in the area — many are located in Fort Worth.

All three schools have a C grade from Niche.Golf and water fun
