Melody Hills: A mix of suburban and big-cotyl ife
Sandwiched between Lake Worth and downtown Fort Worth is the suburb of Melody Hills. With a large, prestigious golf club at its core, proximity to major thoroughfares and surrounded by recreational outlets and other amenities, residents experience suburban living with access to the city. “It’s a nice little community,” says Teena Alders, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Southlake, who has worked the Fort Worth market for over eight years and lived in the area for over 20. “You are pretty centrally located with the highway right there, and it feels like you’re 10 minutes from everywhere you need to be. The area is very built up, so there are plenty of nearby shops and restaurants.”
Melody Hills boasts picturesque landscapes and tranquil ponds, perfect for relaxation.

The Golf Course at Fossil Creek is the crown jewel
The Golf Club at Fossil Creek is the crown jewel of the neighborhood. Arnold Palmer designed the public, 18-hole championship course, which stretches across the community's northern edge and features a 24-station driving range, clubhouse and indoor teaching facility. After a round or two, beginner and experienced golfers can dine at The Ivy Bar & Patio, The Boat House or Arnie’s Retreat, a lounge that pays homage to Palmer and offers a big screen, cocktails and beer. The neighboring community of Haltom City also has several recreational options. Spanning 95 acres, Buffalo Ridge Park is Haltom City’s largest park, with 3 miles of trails, ballfields and several picnic areas. The 20-acre White Branch Park is connected to Buffalo Ridge, and its towering canopy of trees provides a respite from the Texas heat. The park also has two playgrounds, a splash park and a trail connecting north to Arcadia Trail Park all the way to the city of Watauga. Residents can easily reach Lake Worth and Marion Samson Park along its shore, which sits 10 miles west of the neighborhood.

Starter homes for under $200,000 up to $1 million golf course estates
Streets are filled with a mix of brick bungalows, ranch-style homes, two-story traditional brick homes, modern farmhouses and contemporaries. Most houses were built in the early 2000s and range from $160,000 for a 1,500-square-foot, three-bedroom home, to over $1 million for a six-bedroom, 7,900-square-foot estate in a gated community. “The area doesn’t have a ton of turnover, and the houses play a trick on you,” says Alders. “On the outside, they look so much smaller, but when you walk inside, they are actually spacious.” Houses along the Golf Club at Fossil Creek and in the gated subdivision Stoneglen at Fossil Creek are some of the higher-priced ones, with homeowners’ association fees up to $125 a month. Some of the more affordable homes in the neighborhood are in the Melody Hills Addition subdivision in the southern portion of the community. Most homes have multi-car garages and spacious driveways for boats or other aquatic toys. Residents also enjoy large lots stretching over 9,000 square feet, up to nearly a half-acre. Fenced-in backyards allow owners to create their own oasis, sometimes including pools. All residents have access to the Blue Line Walking Trail, which connects the neighborhood and the golf course.
Melody Hills features a variety of charming homes with inviting yards and friendly surroundings.
