Change is on the horizon for this historic Fort Worth neighborhood
It was the early 1900s when the electric-powered streetcar gained popularity in Cowanville, an area now known as Historic Stop Six. The name stems from its location as the sixth stop on the Northern Texas Traction Company rail line connecting Fort Worth to Dallas. The community was well-known for its thriving black-owned businesses, spanning barber shops to local butcheries. However, present-day Historic Stop Six looks a little different, with abandoned buildings, churches and schools reflecting its decline and population loss. Recent, multimillion-dollar revitalization efforts are under way, such as The Stop Six Choice Neighborhood Transformation Plan, which is funded by grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the City of Fort Worth Housing Solutions, the State of Texas and other private and nonprofit organizations. The plans involve transforming the former Caville Place with mixed-income rental housing options, a hub for recreation and an area for new commercial businesses. While change is on the horizon for Historic Stop Six, the area will remain steeped in historic significance, a fact that has kept many neighbors around for decades. “There are many families that span multiple generations who have their roots planted here,” says Ivana Flex, a Realtor with The Ashton Agency. “It is very common to find multiple family members living on the same street or within blocks of each other.” The neighborhood boasts notable figures in sports history, such as Dunbar High Schools’ Robert Hughes and boxer Elmo Henderson, who famously claimed to have beaten Muhammad Ali in a match held in San Antonio. Locals also enjoy proximity to Downtown Fort Worth, specifically the central business district and the nationally recognized Near Southside Medical District, both within a 6-mile radius.

20th-century Southern architecture spans both old and new builds
Both older homes – those built in the early 1900s – and newer residences incorporate elements of 20th-century Southern architecture, such as brick or wood-siding, often painted white, and dark roofs with shutters to match. Almost all homes here are compact, especially those belonging to Sunrise Edition, and provide three to-four bedrooms. Those built in the 1920s were built as small as 500 square feet and up to 1,000 square feet. New builds are larger in comparison, offering between 1,000 and 2,000 square feet of living space. Streets lack sidewalks and lawns are instead framed by iron fencing and stout driveways. In general, prices range from $120,000 to $350,000, depending on the size of the property. On occasion, vacant lots just under a quarter acre hit the market, often priced between $80,000 and $100,000.

Historic Stop Six Park was formerly known as Rosedale Plaza Park
The land that became Rosedale Plaza Park was obtained in 1969 to provide an open green space for underserved African American communities in East Fort Worth. In 2024, the city council approved renaming the park Historic Stop Six Park in honor of both its history and the overall significance of Historic Stop Six throughout Fort Worth’s history. The now-6.25-acre park includes playground equipment, a basketball court and a small softball field. The active Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center is 1 and a half miles away. “It’s a pillar of the community, offering fitness programs, educational camps, and sports,” Flex says, adding that many residents will take advantage of the early evening activities. Lake Arlington is just 5 miles away for water sports, fishing and camping.

Fort Worth offers lively annual events and tourist attractions
The Stop Six Neighborhood Association organizes community gatherings and fundraisers throughout the year, including a Back-to-School Drive-Thru. During election season, the association also provides residents with free resources regarding political events and candidates. Fort Worth offers a plethora of annual events and live entertainment. In the summer, Fort Worth Fourth, the largest fireworks show in North Texas, is held, as are evenings on Panther Island. Locals and visitors can enjoy auto races at the Texas Motor Speedway throughout the year, but nothing compares to a thrilling rodeo throwdown in Fort Worth’s Stockyards. “A lot of people come into Fort Worth for the Stockyards. It’s a famous part of town for its saloons and music. You’ve got Billy Bobs, which is real honky-tonk,” says Brandi Wright, Realtor and owner of Wright Real Estate Brokerage, who has sold homes around the Dallas-Fort Worth area since 2005. Billy Bobs showcases the Texas Country Music Awards every November and the renowned Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo at Will Rogers Memorial Center in January. The city hosts festivals for all cultures and art forms, including the MAIN Street Fort Worth Arts Festival, Fort Worth Music Festival in the spring and summer and an international film festival in November. “You’ve got the super artsy Cultural District with everything you’d want art-wise, like the Main Street Arts Festival,” Wright says. Off Main Street, Sundance Square fills with live jazz music every Thursday through Sunday and the Bass Performance Hall echoes with the sounds of the Fort Worth Opera, Symphony Orchestra and national touring Broadway performances.
