A lakefront community at the northeast edge of Tarrant County
Compared to the populated Lake Worth community across the bridge, Lakeside's 2,260 residents embrace a quieter lifestyle. Close to a vast countryside, it's not uncommon to spot groups of donkeys, horses and cattle on the way west. This lakefront community feels so secluded that it's almost hard to believe how close it is to Fort Worth. To the north and east, Lake Worth and Eagle Mountain Lake offer sailing clubs, beaches and waterfront sunsets. "The convenience of all the big-city amenities close by is Lakeside’s main appeal," says Robbie Renfro, broker/owner at RE/MAX Achievers. "At the same time, being out there where it's quiet and peaceful by the water – it's just a really nice, slow lifestyle, especially for retirees."

Homes sit snuggly and forested by Lake Worth
The expansive yards of neo-traditional homes give it a semi-rural feel, with houses becoming more spread out the farther west residents drive. Renfro says that homes typically have one-plus acres, three-car garages and many with swimming pools. Scattered about these luxury homes are plenty of ranch-style houses sitting snuggly, side-by-side; however, it’s almost guaranteed to be situated on a shady lot enveloped by mature trees. The range of housing costs is wide in Lakeside; a three-bedroom home on one acre can sell between $450,000 and $650,000, but additional acreage often lists between $800,000 and nearly $2 million.
