From industrial hub to quiet residential region

Manufacturing plants producing everything from tools, flour, rubber and wood once dominated what is now known as Richland Hills in the 1990s. Today, locals can still find industrial supply stores in the southeast region of the city that are a nod to the area’s roots, while the rest of town is made up of residential streets. Richland Hills is about one-tenth the size of the more well-known North Richland Hills, but those who make their home in the southern part of the area can still enjoy a quiet suburban lifestyle just outside of the Fort Worth metro. Residents can find an accessibly priced home, send their kids to well-rated schools and still find well-loved restaurants and plenty of shopping just a short drive away.

Midcentury and brand-new homes alike

Midcentury western ranch houses are by far the most popular home type in Richland Hills, but updated developments like Baker Landing in the heart of town have introduced newer construction that focuses on multistory properties. In both the older and newer parts of town, homes are built in well-organized neighborhoods with large yards, plenty of oak tree shade, and the occasional sidewalk. “In North Richland Hills, home prices have gone up over 25% in the last year, and really shot up drastically in 2021. Overall, the cost of living in North Richland Hills is higher than the national average,” says Jaime Resendiz, a Realtor with eXp Realty in Dallas. Homes in Richland Hills range between $200,000 to $300,000 regardless of the property’s age, which is a lower price than some neighboring areas.

An afternoon of fun at Alley Cats

The Richland Hills community maintains a residential focus, and most recreational options are outside the immediate area. The 5-acre Creek Trail Park off Glenview Drive runs alongside the Calloway Branch and has picnic tables, a playground and half a mile of outdoor walking trails. Less than a mile away on Interstate 820 is Alley Cats Entertainment, a one-stop-shop for bowling, rock climbing and go-karts. Golfers can fit in tee time at Diamond Oaks Country Club, which is just north of town on Diamond Oaks Drive. The community is also not far from big city attractions in the metroplex. “It’s only 25 minutes from AT&T Stadium, home of dare I say your favorite team and definitely my favorite team, the Dallas Cowboys,” says Richard Kirby, a Realtor with INTM in Dallas.

Welcome to Rosebud Park. The park has a couple of playground areas and a picnic area.

Over 100 shops at North East Mall

The Walmart Neighborhood Market just off Boulevard 26 covers the daily essentials for most locals, and there is also a Kroger and Walgreens just north of town boundary at the intersection of Glenview Drive and Grapevine Highway. Just across I-820 to the east, the expansive North East Mall hosts over 100 stores and is anchored by chain department stores like Macy’s and Dillard’s.

Local favorite restaurants are plentiful near Glenview Drive, which separates Richland Hills and North Richland Hills. The Patriotic Pig on Rufe Snow Drive serves up house-smoked barbecue and specializes in brisket “smash” burgers. Down the street, Ocha FTW Thai Cuisine has an extensive menu of noodles, curry and rice dishes. Cuco’s Sandwich Shop is a block away on Glenview Drive, where locals can go to the counter and order fresh-made Cuban sandwiches.

Quick highway access for Fort Worth commuters

Major thoroughfares like Baker Boulevard and Grapevine Highway are built-in borders for Richland Hills, allowing commuters to be only a mile away from interstate connections and 8 miles from Fort Worth. Because Richland Hills is on the western side of the metroplex, Dallas is about 30 miles away. Most Richland Hills residents travel by car, but public transportation is still available for those who need it. Richland Hills Train Station lies about a mile south of Baker Boulevard and picks up for the Trinity Railway Express, which has two weekly routes into Fort Worth.
