River Oaks offers lower price points
The aptly named River Oaks is a leafy city that’s home to 7,000 people and the Trinity River. Its convenient location and low cost of housing combine to make it an up-and-coming place to live in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. "It's close to downtown Fort Worth,” says Rose Weaver, a Realtor with Marie Pigg Real Estate, who’s been selling homes in the area for 16 years. “There is still some affordable housing there. Depending on the home and the land you get with it, you can easily find a house for under $300,000.”

River Oaks features vintage and new construction
Driving along the quiet residential streets, home seekers will find a mix of architectural styles. There are vintage bungalows and ranch houses, as well as contemporary homes with two-car garages. "It's an older community, so there are areas that are older homes," Weaver says. "But right on the edge there's some brand-new homes being built." Many of the older homes have vinyl siding, while new builds typically feature brick exteriors.
The average sale price of a home in River Oaks is around $250,000, which is up over the past year, but still lower than the rest of Fort Worth. Costs range from $200,000 to $700,000, depending on size and condition.

River Oaks Café is a local favorite for dining
River Oaks Boulevard serves as a hub for dining and entertainment. There are plenty of restaurants along this road and fun places to spend time with friends and family. Many locals start their day off with plate-sized pancakes at the mom-and-pop River Oaks Café and Grumps is known as the go-to spot for burgers and margaritas.
After a meal out, residents can burn off the calories at Cowtown Bowling Palace, which has been voted the best bowling alley in Fort Worth. “It’s been there for years,” Weaver says. “That’s kind of cool it’s right there in River Oaks.” Open seven days a week, Cowtown is a popular spot to go for a game, host a party or join a league.
To stock up on groceries or pick up household items, there's a Walmart Supercenter on Jacksboro Highway.
