On the city’s neighborhood map, Ridglea is really a family of associations on Fort Worth’s west side: Ridglea itself, Ridglea North along Camp Bowie Boulevard, and Ridglea Hills and the Ridglea Hills Addition to the south. They share a name, but the Census shows two different housing stories.
Ridglea Hills is a 1950s neighborhood. In tract 1024.02, which covers three quarters of the Ridglea Hills association and nearly all of the Ridglea Hills Addition, the median home was built in 1959, and 55% of homes went up in that one decade. Ridglea and most of Ridglea North fall in tract 1024.01, where the median is 1968 and about a quarter of homes were built in 2000 or later.
We answer calls across 76116 and the west end of 76107 with same-day service and a 24/7 line for emergencies. Call 817-290-3373.
The 1950s houses of Ridglea Hills are mostly single-family homes on their own lots: 83% of the homes in tract 1024.02 are detached houses, and their median of six rooms sits a little above the Fort Worth figure of 5.3. Gas heat is the norm there, at 64% of occupied homes. We diagnose each house before we quote, because two neighbors on the same street rarely have the same equipment.
Tract 1024.01 looks different. Only 43% of its homes are detached houses; about a quarter sit in buildings of 10 to 19 units, and 63% of occupied homes heat with electricity. In that tract, a heating problem is more likely to involve a heat pump or an electric furnace.
The streets are changing too. The city’s Ridglea Area Infrastructure Improvements project, listed as under construction, replaces water or sewer mains (or both) and rebuilds affected streets on parts of Locke Avenue, Curzon Avenue, Ridglea Avenue, Malvey Avenue, Halloran Street and Olive Place, among others. A second Fort Worth Water project, west of Alta Mere Drive, replaces cast iron water mains and sewer mains next to the Ridglea Area Neighborhood Alliance and the Ridglea Hills association, with completion dates of September 2027 and May 2028 for its two parts. Those projects replace public mains. Fort Worth Water’s service line inventory puts the water line from the meter to the house on the property owner, so the pipe on your side is still yours to keep up.
For owners who would rather not wait for a breakdown, our Gold Star Membership covers seasonal HVAC tune-ups, safety inspections, priority scheduling and 15% off repairs.
About two miles east, Tanglewood’s larger houses run to a median of eight rooms in the block group that covers the biggest share of that neighborhood. Roughly four miles south lies Wedgwood, where the city plans to replace cast iron and asbestos cement water mains along with sewer mains, with the project in design and completion set for July 2027. To the west, the city of Benbrook borders the Alta Mere project area.
Weekday hours are 7 to 6, Saturday 8 to 3, and the 24/7 line covers emergencies. Call 817-290-3373 or book online.
In Census tract 1024.02, which covers most of Ridglea Hills, the median home was built in 1959 and 55% were built between 1950 and 1959 (American Community Survey, 2020 to 2024).
The Ridglea Area Infrastructure Improvements project lists parts of Locke Avenue, Curzon Avenue, Ridglea Avenue, Malvey Avenue, Halloran Street, Olive Place, Tex Boulevard, Calmont Avenue, Garland Avenue, Mary’s Lane and Elizabeth Lane West, with street rehabilitation after the main work.
No. Its project area lies west of Alta Mere Drive, and the city lists the Ridglea Area Neighborhood Alliance and the Ridglea Hills association as neighbors to the east. Part 1 is set to finish in September 2027 and Part 2 in May 2028.
