Ridglea Hills Addition is a west Fort Worth mid-century pocket defined by ranch and traditional homes on mature, tree-canopied lots. The neighborhood sits on the elevated topography west of the Trinity River, with quiet residential streets and a strongly owner-occupied character.
Mid-century ranch and one-and-a-half-story traditional homes dominate, sited on generously-sized lots from the 1950s-60s plat. Many have been renovated or rebuilt while keeping the original lot footprint, giving the streetscape a mix of restored originals and tasteful contemporary updates. Mature post oaks and pecans shade most blocks.
Zoned to Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD). (City section covers the district's broader reputation.)
Ridglea Country Club and the Ridglea Theater are the immediate anchors, with Camp Bowie Boulevard's restaurant row a short drive east.
