As a community in Tarrant County, Westover Hills is among the wealthiest in Fort Worth, hosting 277 homes just 5 miles west of Downtown. Despite its proximity, the allure of Westover Hills lies in its luxury residences. The neighborhood, adorned with mature trees and hilly, winding roads, exudes a well-maintained charm, with Westover Hill's homes reaching the millions. With Fort Worth's cultural district in Westover Hill's backyard, and its proximity to some of the best dining and shopping in the city, it's no wonder it's considered one of Fort Worth's most desirable places to live, with Stephanie Davenport, a real estate consultant at Allie Beth Allman and Associates, describing it as "a very prestigious Fort Worth address."
Large Homes Surrounded by Trees
Meandering through the winding, hilly streets of Westover Hills, hidden behind mature trees, Spanish-style residences with red tile roofs and stucco siding coexist with contemporary houses. Traditional architecture, like Tudor houses with stone exteriors, pointed roofs and colonial brick homes, contribute to the neighborhood's classic character. Most homes feature meticulous landscaping with oaks, shrubs and flowering plants. The absence of sidewalks fosters privacy, free from traffic. Large lots ranging from half-acre to an acre provide ample space between residences. Given Westover Hills' status as one of the more luxurious neighborhoods in Fort Worth, houses are pricier than in other nearby neighborhoods. The average cost of a home here is $2.35 million, with listings reaching as high as $4.15 million. “It has a bit of everything, usually bigger and luxurious. It has modern houses; it has traditional. It just depends on how old it is,” Davenport says.
