Westover Hills, TX

Westover Hills is an exclusive, peaceful pocket community nestled on the west side of Fort Worth. Home to fewer than 700 residents, the neighborhood is known for its rolling hills, stately homes, and sprawling, wooded lots. Even though it is completely surrounded by Fort Worth, Westover Hills is an independent town that maintains its own local government and dedicated police department. The result is a quiet, secure neighborhood of scenic residential streets that feels tucked away from the surrounding bustle, yet sits only minutes from the shops along Camp Bowie Boulevard.

Originally planned in the late 1920s, the town has held onto its distinct character and spacious layout for nearly a century. Families are drawn to the area for its privacy and its proximity to several of the region's top private schools, such as Fort Worth Country Day, All Saints' Episcopal, and Trinity Valley. Between its serene estate properties, tight-knit local leadership, and quick commutes to downtown Fort Worth and the Cultural District, Westover Hills remains one of the most prestigious places to live in North Texas.
