Neighbors walking dogs, friends chatting on the sidewalk and bikes zipping by—these are the sights and sounds of Timberland. This North Fort Worth community is a suburban superstar, surrounded by easy-to-access highways and major thoroughfares, located minutes from retail and entertainment hubs and packed with housing options.
Whether you're a Fort Worth commuter who wants green space close to I-35 or you're looking for a great place to raise a family, Timberland’s planned communities, including McPherson Ranch, Steadman Farms, Timberland Estates and Saratoga, hit the mark. Across small but tidy front lawns, you'll find stately brick colonials, contemporary prairie styles with gracious arches, rambling ranch homes and Tudor-revival homes that elegantly combine wood, plaster and stone to create a one-of-a-kind façade. With many of these homes built in the last two decades, you'll commonly see open floor plans and modern finishes like granite and stainless steel in the kitchen. You can match the size of your home to your budget—from $335,000 for three bedrooms and 1,500 square feet up to the high-$600,000s for five bedrooms and a roomy 4,000-plus square feet. You'll also find sporadic outcroppings of standalone residences, often with an acre or more of land along wide, shady roads that lend a rural feel to the community. Many of these homes were built in the 1970s and '80s and offer mature trees and secluded driveways. They average around $500,000 for three bedrooms and up to 3,000 square feet, but you could pay close to $1 million for a 2,500 square foot home on 4 or 5 acres.
To keep your students sharp, you can send them to Northwest Independent School District schools like Kay Granger Elementary. Granger not only earns an A from Niche but it's located in Saratoga, making it walkable for many. At Tidwell Middle School, which earns an A-minus from Niche, students can find their voice in the school newspaper or as part of the district's only school-sponsored, student-managed radio station. To finish the academic journey, A-rated Byron Nelson High School offers students the opportunity to jump-start their future in one of Northwest ISD's specialized academies, the Academy of Biomedical Sciences or the Academy of Culinary Arts and Hospitality.
At the Alliance Town Center, only 5 miles away, you'll find a bustling commercial hotspot with retail, restaurants and a Cinemark movie theater. And in the center of the neighborhood, Saratoga Marketplace, Woodland Springs Center and Kroger shopping and fuel center meet your daily needs with groceries, spa and beauty services, dental and medical resources and retail. You'll also enjoy dining out with local fast food like McDonald's and Salad and Go, casual carryout like Taste of Asia and Pizza Hut and more upscale options like Oliva Italian Eatery—a family-owned favorite specializing in authentic Italian fare, along with vegetarian and gluten-free menu items.
While many homes offset the Texas heat with private pools, communities like McPherson Ranch, Steadman Farms and Saratoga provide community pools and clubhouses where you can get to know your neighbors sunning in the summer months or throughout the year at community events like Easter egg hunts, community garage sales and holiday hoedowns. You're also likely to find friends walking the neighborhood trails or, if you live in McPherson Ranch, casting a line at the large fishing pond that offers many homeowners a waterfront view. The City of Fort Worth also maintains neighborhood parks like the 7.4-acre McPherson Ranch Park. In addition to a shaded pavilion, the park features swings, slides and climbing structures alongside wide-open grassy fields that make the perfect place to practice soccer kicks, football passes or softball swings.
Cars are the primary transportation mode in Timberland, but you won't have to drive far to enjoy all the area offers. Just 20 miles south, downtown Fort Worth offers a thriving arts, culture and entertainment scene and serves as a significant employment hub.
