As a REALTOR® I’m often asked, “What are the best neighborhoods in Fort Worth?” The answer to that question varies depending on what you are looking for.

The Neighborhood Spotlight series highlights many different Fort Worth neighborhoods through the lens of people who live there, and sometimes, people who are selling homes there. Feel free to reach out if you have questions about any of the neighborhoods in this series, and let me know if you’d like to see your own Fort Worth neighborhood or real estate listing featured on the blog.

I’m so excited to share about my latest listing: 5753 Cedar Creek Drive in Benbrook, Texas. It’s a lovely little lock and leave condo in the gated community Cedar Creek Townhome Condominiums — less than a mile’s walk from Waterside shopping center and less than two miles from Clearfork Fort Worth restaurants and shopping.

The seller recently installed luxury vinyl plank (LVP) floors and picked what I believe is the perfect shade. You know how so many manufactured wooden floors look more manufactured than wooden? Not these! Whoever buys this condo will get the look of real wood with the low maintenance of LVP (which I envy as the parent of a curious cat and 90 lb dog!)

The layout features two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, separated by levels (a great setup for TCU students or UNTHSC students for anyone looking for an investment property). There’s also an open concept living/dining and kitchen area on the main floor, which overlooks a private patio perfect for grilling out or sipping on your morning coffee. The seller recently took the time to share a few of her favorite things about living there:

What do you enjoy about living in Benbrook?

I love how Benbrook is a community of its own offering a sense of getting away from the hustle and bustle but yet is so well-connected. The convenient roads and highways make it a breeze to get to Downtown Fort Worth and the Fort Worth Cultural District. And on a beautiful day, you can even bike the extensive bike paths along the Trinity River Trails that will also take you to Downtown.

What is your favorite spot in the condo? Why?

My favorite spot in the condo is the dining area. I love sitting at the dining table drinking coffee in the morning while enjoying the sunshine and listening to the birds chirping outside.

Describe what a typical weekend might look like for someone living in Benbrook.

There's such a great variety of things to do that a typical weekend could be spent enjoying the beautiful parks, walking the Trinity River Trails, or going bowling and shopping at Clearfork. The Fort Worth Botanic Garden and Fort Worth Zoo can be enjoyed year round, and let's not forget about the museums, stockyards, or even driving out to Dallas for the day! You won't run out of things to do!

How would you describe the Cedar Creek Townhome Condominium community?

It’s a cozy little community with friendly neighbors who take the time to say hello. There's a wonderful peaceful feeling within this diverse community that makes you look forward to coming home. Having a clubhouse and a pool on the property is a wonderful amenity to have, especially during the hot Texas summers.

What are your favorite local restaurants?

I love tacos, and Velvet Taco and Torchy's are a frequent haunt. And of course, for a nice dinner, Bonnell's Fine Texas Cuisine is just down the road!
