Morningside, long-established community in Fort Worth
Developed in the early 20th century, the tiny neighborhood of Morningside is one of Fort Worth's longest-established areas and has carefully kept to its roots. Found just 4 miles south of downtown Fort Worth, Morningside is close enough to be considered part of the urban fray, bordered by significant thoroughfares and historic Southside. Its residents know the residential streets and local business owners in a way that only comes from a tight-knit, well-established community. From music events and donation drives at The Warehouse to the after-school programs at Atatiana Carr-Jefferson Community Center, Morningside is – at its core – about supporting its residents.
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.
