Homes For Sale in the Ridgmar Neighborhood of Fort Worth, Tx Why Do People Live here? Ridgmar is a beautiful mature neighborhood of custom built single family homes that is conveniently located just 10 minutes West of Downtown Fort Worth. It's not uncommon to see neighborhood kids playing in the park or people out walking their dogs along the wide tree lined streets of this quaint little oasis in West Fort Worth. During the Spring the landscapes come alive with beautiful color.   It's seems there is always someone in the neighborhood who has their smoker or grill going on the back patio.  Ridgmar is far enough from the main hustle and bustle of the city that residents don't feel like the urban center of Fort Worth is knocking on their door.  Also Ridgmar is close to everything.  Fine re...

MORNING WALKS IN RIDGMAR WITH SHORTY Ridgmar is a cozy, close-knit neighborhood just a stones-throw west of downtown Fort Worth, (5 miles to be exact), but it seems more like a neighborhood from Pleasantville, (the Hollywood version), to me.     The homes in Ridgmar are mostly 60’s era. Many of the original occupants in Ridgmar still live here, enjoying old-style happy hours, tending manicured lawns and walking their much loved, slightly overweight dogs around the block; although I love it that so many younger people are moving to Ridgmar now as we have such close access to downtown and all of the restaurants and cool places to go on Camp Bowie Blvd.   The newer Ridgmar homeowners are doing fantastic renovations with these interesting older homes, and it puts pep in your step when someo...

One of the things i enjoy most about home staging here in Fort Worth is having the opportunity to transform a home that had previously been un-loved and just about un-inhabitable into a gorgeous fresh new space for someone to love and come home to. It's really gratifying to see how a house can be made new again. These older neighborhoods on the west side of Fort Worth, this one is called Ridgmar, have great homes that are gradually being turned over from one generation to the next! So... here's the befores. This home needed everything. I mean everything. From top to bottom inside and out. Hampton Redesign works with an investor who buys these distressed properties to renovate and flip. I come up with a master plan, floorplan, kitchen, bathrooms, finishes, cabinets, granite, colors, floo...

I received an email from Larry Patterson our RNA NW Sector Vice President and I wanted to share his report on the MirAvanti construction project on the West side of our neighborhood. MirAvanti is a rather upscale cooperative. The 105 units rang in size from a 1007 sq ft one bedroom to a 1,970 three bedroom. Units will be owned by the residents. 30 or more have already been sold. Having a complex like this as a neighbor will be much better than having more apartments like those to the south of us built on the property. Furthermore, although the city zoning ordinance only requires the buildings to be at least 25 feet from the property line, when the Leonards sold the 10 acres they required buildings to be at least 100 feet from property on Trafalgar and Ems Court and 80 feet from Ridgmar ...

Today is our first year anniversary and what a year it's been.  After a wonderful wedding we settled into married life and both discovered we didn't know each other as well as we thought.  When both of you have been single for 10 years you develop unique living habits and it was like getting to know each other all over again.  Diana is so patient with me in my husband training...toilet seat down, picking up my clothes, don't drink from the milk carton, you know all the stuff us guys forget when we are single. My sweet Diana has redecorated our home into something from Better Homes and Gardens.  It's absolutely gorgeous!  She also has turned the outside into a showcase of beautiful flowers and plants.  So much so it stops traffic. I love my wife and I love her a little more each day.  Sh...

The Ridgmar neighborhood on the Westside of Fort Worth, Texas where I live is located about 6 miles West of Downtown on the Northside of I30. Ridgmar is a great place to live, literally 10 to 15 minutes from everything...great restaurants and businesses on Historic Camp Bowie, Museums in the Cultural District, the Will Rogers Coliseum and Botanical Gardens, four golf courses, Ridgmar Mall, Downtown Fort Worth and the Hospital District. Back in the mid 1930's Amon Carter amased about 1200 acres in the area and later the Amon Carter foundation sold land to Marvin Leonard to build the Shady Oaks Country Club on the North portion in 1957.  Westover Hills developed on the East and Ridgmar on the West.  In 1969 J.C. Penny purchased land and later Ridgmar Mall was built in 1974. The residentia...
