Highlands delivers an easygoing, residential feel with quick access to the energy of Fort Worth. Mature trees, sidewalks, and a mix of classic cottages and updated homes set the tone, while everyday needs—grocers, coffee spots, and services—are close at hand. Commuters appreciate straightforward routes into downtown and the Cultural District, and weekend plans come together effortlessly.
Outdoorsy residents gravitate to the Trinity River’s extensive Trinity Trails for cycling, jogging, and dog walks. A short drive opens up marquee green spaces and attractions, including the Fort Worth Botanic Garden and the nationally acclaimed Fort Worth Zoo. Sports and major events are within reach, too, with nearby Arlington offering big-league entertainment.
Families value educational options supported by Fort Worth ISD, with neighborhood schools, magnet offerings, and specialized programs across the district. Higher education and continuing-ed opportunities are readily accessible throughout Tarrant County, and the area’s employers—from healthcare to logistics—provide a solid base for career growth.
Life in Highlands balances quiet evenings on the porch with quick trips to theaters, museums, and beloved barbecue joints. It’s the kind of place where neighbors wave, kids ride bikes to the park, and you can still make it to a show across town without a hassle.
