Peaceful lake life near Downtown Fort Worth

Home to four recreational lakes, community trails and a surrounding greenbelt for ultimate tranquility, River Trails feels like a peaceful, remote village away from the hustle and bustle. And while residents are treated to a quiet slice of lake life, the East Fort Worth neighborhood is only a short drive from downtown. “People there say they like that it’s centrally located and easy to get to downtown Fort Worth, downtown Dallas and all over the Metroplex,” says Lisa Koren, a Realtor with Phelps Realty Group, serving the Fort Worth area for over 25 years. “You’re also close to places like Hurst and Arlington, so it’s in a really good location as far as accessibility to nearby cities.” Beyond its central location and outdoor recreation, River Trails is home to a top-notch school system, active community associations and spacious homes overlooking the lakes.

Living up to its name

Outdoor enthusiasts will love the opportunities available to explore in River Trails. With four lakes exclusive to the community, residents can drop fish for bass and perch, bike or jog along the trails around them. The neighborhood is also home to River Trails Park, which offers a playground, a fishing pond and a heavily wooded trail that runs roughly parallel to the West Fork of the Trinity River. The 103-acre Mallard Cove Park is just over the southern edge of River Trails and offers more paved trails, river access and expansive green space for a picnic or a pickup soccer game. Beyond its community trails, River Trails residents will love the neighborhood’s proximity to the area’s Trinity Trails System, offering over 100 miles of hiking and biking trails throughout Fort Worth. Hikers and cyclists can hop on the trailhead at Quanah Parker Park, about 2 miles west, to reach the rest of the trail network.

SPacious homes with lake views

The neighborhood offers a variety of housing, from brick, ranch-style homes to custom, spacious, modern homes on the lake. “You have homes from the late ‘80s and early ‘90s all the way to new construction still going on,” Koren says. “It’s pretty well built up, but everyone seems to like their neighbors, and you’re surrounded by a melting pot of residents.” Most homes range from $320,000 to $700,000, and newcomers can expect 1,300-square-foot three-bedroom homes at the lower price point and 3,400-square-foot five-bedroom homes on the lake at the highest price point. Most homes have multi-car garages, and residents can easily walk to the trails, lakes, neighborhood park and the elementary school. The Lakes of River Trails is a newer subdivision with a collection of contemporary-style homes built by David Weekley Homes. Properties start at $670,000 and range from 1,800-square-foot three-bedroom homes to 3,600-square-foot five-bedroom homes with multi-car garages and well-manicured lawns. These homes come with homeowners’ association fees that average around $400 a year.
