North Forth Worth

North Fort Worth is the area north of downtown on the west and east sides of Interstate 35W. A variety of homes can be found in this area, from the newly planned communities around the Alliance airport to the historic neighborhoods of Northside and Oakhurst. These neighborhoods offer easy access to downtown Fort Worth, the Alliance business community and DFW airport. Due to the number of businesses relocating to the city, this area has grown rapidly over the last decade.

Some of the neighborhoods in this area include:
