Lake Worth has city amenities with an old hometown vibe

Situated on the shores of a scenic lake with all the entertainment options the water has to offer, Lake Worth is just a short 10-mile drive to Downtown Fort Worth and its abundant big city amenities. “I think it has a very old hometown feel,” says Renee Kolar, a Realtor at Keller Williams who has lived and sold homes in the area for nearly 40 years. “People who live in Lake Worth have lived here for generations. There are lots of people that still live here from the 50s and 60s. People like to do things like go fishing and hang out at the park, and we’ve got lots of shopping and restaurants.”

Fishing, kayaking and canoeing on Lake Worth

Boaters head to Arrow S. Park to get their day kayaking, canoeing or boating out on the water started. The park is one of 21 official launch sites for the Trinity River Paddling Trail, a 130-mile stretch between Fort Worth and Dallas. It also has playgrounds and picnic facilities so residents can fuel up before they head out. Marina Park offers a small stretch of beach where locals can go swimming and fishing in the lake. Lake Worth Dog Park provides a good stretch of open grass and an agility course for dogs, and a little further inland, Lake Worth Park is the sports hub of the city. It features two baseball fields, a softball field and a soccer field. This park hosts youth and adult sports leagues for residents. The Lake Worth Skate Park is also here, with several ramps and a halfpipe. Just over 2 miles away, the 264-acre Marion Sansom Park is the go-to destination for hikers and mountain bikers, with plenty of wildlife and a little waterfall at the end of one of its trails. It is another of the official launch sites for the Trinity River Paddling Trail.

Homes for nearly any budget

Most of Lake Worth’s homes are older, traditional houses. Ranch-style houses are particularly common, often set on tree-covered lots laid out in a grid formation in the city’s center. The homes on these wide streets are closer together but still maintain a suburban feel. A two-bedroom fixer-upper in this part of town starts at around $175,000 and a brand-new three-bedroom home can go for $350,000, but most homes will fall in the $200,000 range. There are larger, more expensive homes close to the lakeshore. There are still some ranch-style houses here, but there are also log cabins and Victorian homes. Usually on larger lots of around a half-acre, these homes can cost anywhere from $450,000 to $1.5 million for an updated home right on the water. “It’s not quite the multiple offers situation we were seeing a couple years ago, but we’ve got steady sales going on, buyers still looking and a pretty balanced market,” Kolar says.

Yearly fun at Bullfrog West Fest

Every fall, Lake Worth residents gather for the biggest local event of the year, the Bullfrog West Fest Rodeo. “It has vendors and food trucks and a full day of activities in the arena as far as kids doing calf scrambles and riding sheep, doing mutton busting — just a fun day of all kinds of kids’ events as well food,” Kolar says. “And bull riding at the end of the night, which is the most exciting event. It’s a fundraiser for the Northwest Tarrant Lion’s Club and helps them support other entities within our community.”

Ginger Brown’s Old Tyme Restaurant & Bakery

Residents head to Lake Worth Boulevard to run errands or stock up on groceries at Target, Walmart or Albertsons. Other big-box stores in the area sell everything from electronics and home décor to camping goods and The Mary Lou Reddick Public Library offers paper books, e-books and online tutorials. Known throughout the Fort Worth area, Ginger Brown’s Old Tyme Restaurant & Bakery is a staple in Lake Worth for its huge cinnamon rolls and chicken fried steak. Bullfrog Grill is a smaller local restaurant that offers brisket, ribs and other barbeque essentials. Chain restaurants like the regional Texas chain, Rosa’s Café and Tortilla Factory, are also located in Lake Worth. And when they want it, the added excitement of Downtown Fort Worth is always just a short drive away.
