Located about 15 miles north of Fort Worth, the Watersbend neighborhood is a master-planned community in the flatlands of Tarrant County. The northern part of the county was once mostly rural and is now turning into a hotbed for real estate in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. "It used to be on the outskirts of town with lots of ranchers and farmers, and developers eventually made their way out there," says local Realtor Joe McCalip of The Property Shop, who has sold over 100 homes in the Fort Worth region. "It wasn't as rural as 30 years ago, but the town was inching closer and closer 10, 15 years ago." The neighborhood attracts homebuyers with proximity to highly rated schools and newer homes, with many built as recently as 2023.
Homes in Watersbend are mostly newly built with newly planted landscaping.
