Morningside
Preserving Morningside's original homes
Originally planned by John C. Ryan, a famous developer of the early 1900s, Morningside works to preserve its small, planned community of 20th-century homes. Although homeowners have updated aspects of their properties, residents are encouraged to keep their renovations on brand with the neighborhood's traditional roots. "This neighborhood definitely has better prices than surrounding areas," says Claudia Cruz, a local Realtor with Monument Realty and born-and-raised Texan. "There's a lot of opportunities for homebuyers and builders since the lots there are decently priced." Construction styles see themes of minimal traditional and arts and crafts homes, some even dating back to the 1920s. A small section of newly developed tract housing is in the southeastern corridor. Midcentury bungalows start at $150,000, while two- to three-bedroom renovated or contemporary houses sell around $250,000.

How Morningside residents get around town
Interstate 35 West marks the area's western side, connecting residents to a major thoroughfare right in the neighborhood. For commuting east or west, 377 is to the north and Loop 20 lies south. Trinity Metro maintains bus stops around the neighborhood that directly connect to Fort Worth Central Station for travel around the metroplex. Morningside itself, as it's a small neighborhood with businesses right next to residential streets and local parks, is walkable for most day-to-day situations.Learning under the FWISD
Public schools in Morningside belong to the Fort Worth Independent School District. Kids can start at Morningside Elementary, which receives an overall C-plus on Niche and an A-minus for diversity. Students move on to Morningside Middle before finishing basic at Polytechnic High School; both schools receive a C on Niche. Polytechnic offers a high school curriculum that enables students to earn their high school diploma and an associate degree from Tarrant County College with dual credit.

Day-to-day essentials and eats in Morningside
Errands in Morningside can be accomplished in the southwestern section of the neighborhood at El Rio Grande Latin Market, Family Dollar or Dollar General. There are multiple fast-casual restaurants and convenience stops along Berry Street, but for larger stores like Walmart and Ross, residents need to head to nearby Mitchell Boulevard. The locally owned Michoacana Pedir de Boca has fresh fruit ice cream bars for hot Texas days, while Taqueria Don Tomas is recommended for some of the best breakfast burritos and al pastor tacos in the area.

Hillside Park, one of the best views of Fort Worth
Along nearby Maddox Avenue, Hillside Park provides residents with an expansive green space for outdoor recreation, and locals say its location is one of the best spots to see the Fort Worth skyline. Paved walking trails loop around the hilly fields, and there's a large playground alongside tennis and basketball courts. Hillside Park is also the site of Atatiana Carr-Jefferson Community Center, which has both a fitness center and gymnasium alongside all-ages activity programming and community events.

Gathering locals at The Warehouse
The Warehouse is an event venue that hosts live music and weekly events for locals. From jazz nights to themed parties, The Warehouse always has something going on and focuses on putting in its community service hours. The venue often has community health fairs, non-profit vending and open donation drop-offs.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
