Park Hill

Park Hill draws the southern edge of the neighborhood and the circular street of Winton Terrace encases the rest.

Where to live
Feeling like Park Hill is the place for you + yours? Here are some housing options currently on the market via Williams Trew.

The early days
Thanks to a six-acre contribution by the Fairmount Land Company, the Fort Worth Free Baby hospital was built and opened in 1918 (near today’s Texas Christian University), and eventually renamed Fort Worth Children’s Hospital.

Berkeley Place

Need to know
Overlooking the Trinity River, the neighborhood of Berkeley Place is perched atop a scenic bluff and dotted with peaceful sidewalks on both sides of Forest Park Blvd.

You’ll primarily see one and two-story brick + stucco houses, many of which have detached garages, mother-in-law suites, and guest cottages.

Where to live
If you’re sold + looking to become Berkeley Place’s latest resident, here are some housing options currently on the market via Williams Trew. Bonus: Did you know Berkeley Place won the title of FTW’s Neighborhood of the Year in 2018?
