The neighborhoods in northern Tarrant County and south-central Denton County have enjoyed increased popularity in the last few years. This Far North Fort Worth area is a booming center of growth that attracts thousands of homebuyers year after year.
Where Is Far North Forth Worth?
The definition of Far North Fort Worth has somewhat changed in recent years. The term used to refer to the very northernmost portion of Tarrant County, which included towns like Haslet, Keller, Southlake, Saginaw, Melody Hills, Lake Worth, and Eagle Mountain, among others.
Since 2020, parts of southern and central Denton County are also considered to be part of this popular area. Cities like Roanoke, Justin, Northlake, and Argyle are Fort Worth suburbs that are now included in the Far North Fort Worth real estate region.

Why the Change?
This shift toward the suburbs shows that the priorities of homebuyers are changing. Since the pandemic, people are spending more time at home, so they are prioritizing more land, larger yards, better community amenities (like pools, parks, walking trails, etc.), and easier access to outdoor recreation. Commute times to the office have become less important since many individuals now work virtually. This means people are more comfortable living farther from urban areas, including Fort Worth and Dallas.
