Fort Worth’s lower-cost alternative

Located 5 miles northwest of Downtown Fort Worth and 7 miles northeast of the Joint Reserve Base and Lockheed Martin, the small city of Sansom Park is home to many working families that support companies in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. “In Sansom Park, you’ll find affordable housing and a close-knit community of people who know each other and take pride in their homes and yards,” says Carmen Williams, a Realtor and future broke with RJ Williams and Company Real Estate LLC. With lower-cost housing, convenient access to work, and more homes being constructed, it is no wonder why Sansom Park is a community many city workers are keeping their eye on.

Investment, renovated or new

Most homes in Sansom Park are quaint ranch-style houses built in the ’50s or ’60s. Listings for under $175,000 tend to be small investment properties needing work. Renovated homes with new kitchens, flooring, roofs and HVAC units can sell for between $200,000 and $300,000, sometimes with lots as large as a third of an acre. New homes, too, are being built in Sansom Park through Habitat for Humanity. As the exclusive brokerage for this nonprofit, Williams’ firm is tasked with ensuring applicants meet the home loan’s income requirements. “We don’t sell to investors but to families in need,” Williams says. “I grew up in a Habitat for Humanity home, and as an ambassador, I believe homeownership changes lives.” Williams and her husband have been doing this work for 17 years.

Hospitals and the crime rate

Most hospitals and major medical centers in the Fort Worth area are located south of Interstate 30, about 7 miles from Sansom Park. They include Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital, Baylor Scott and White All Saints Medical Center and Medical City. Samson Park also scored much higher than the national average on crime, receiving a 7 out of 10 from the CAP Index. (The national average is 4.) This may be why Williams says safety is a concern for Sansom Park residents.
