The zodiac signs as Fort Worth neighborhoods

One of the most loveable things about Fort Worth is the distinct character found in each neighborhood, district, and corner of town. They all have their own personalities and purposes — some would say it was written in the stars. Let’s take a look at how our neighborhoods align with the zodiac signs.

Leo: Berkeley Place | July 23-Aug. 22

Berkeley Place is a perfect fit for the welcoming and proud nature that a Leo embodies. This sign makes its presence known — similar to this neighborhood’s popular community assets like the Fort Worth Zoo and the city’s oldest aquatic center, Forest Park Pool.

Libra: Fairmount | Sept. 23-Oct. 22

Fairmount’s active yet small-neighborhood charm is just as balanced as a Libra. Located within walking distance of Magnolia Avenue, residents have easy access to the thriving, eclectic mix of restaurants, pubs + music venues.

Scorpio: Crestwood | Oct. 23-Nov. 21

The aura of Crestwood’s picturesque boulevard perfectly encapsulates this water sign. Situated just two miles from downtown, Crestwood residents enjoy gently curving tree-lined streets and a mixture of old and new, with homes constructed from 1941 to today.

Sagittarius: Ridglea Hills | Nov. 22-Dec. 21

This sign’s need for constant change and adventure can be fed with easy access to the bustling Camp Bowie Boulevard and a quiet getaway to the 10-acre Luther Lake, located in the middle of Ridglea Hills.

Capricorn: Downtown | Dec. 22- Jan. 19

With how hardworking you are, you’ll be pleased to hear there are plenty of spots downtown to network and work remotely. The neighborhood is home to beautifully restored buildings + residences that stand alongside modern skyscrapers.

Plus, there are parks and landmarks galore including Sundance Square — a walkable 37-square-block area with restaurants, comedy clubs, hotels, and live entertainment.

City Guides are presented by Walsh.

From the editor

It’s good to be back, y’all. While I was in New York, the New York City Marathon was happening and it inspired me to pick up running.

While I won’t be running a marathon any time soon, the Turkey Trot will be the perfect place to practice long-distance running. Don’t forget, this year’s trot is moved to The Shops at Clearfork and will be held on Thanksgiving morning.
