Over the two years ending October 30, 2026, Westover Hills Addition homes sold for a median of $2,700,500 and about $486 per square foot, while homes on Rivercrest's established streets sold for a median of $2,220,000 and about $441 per square foot, according to NTREIS. Neither enclave had enough sales to prove one appreciates faster, but the data does show where value holds for different kinds of homes, and that is what a seller needs to know.
The Agency Dallas, an independently owned and operated brokerage serving North Texas, compared every closed sale in both enclaves over 24 months. Here is what we found and what it means if you are deciding when and how to sell.
How did we compare Rivercrest and Westover Hills?
Both neighborhoods sit side by side in west Fort Worth, and buyers often shop them together. To keep the comparison fair we used:
- Westover Hills: all 11 NTREIS closed residential sales in the Westover Hills Addition, October 30, 2024 to October 30, 2026.
- Rivercrest: 9 NTREIS closed residential sales of $1 million or more on Rivercrest's established streets in the same period: Rivercrest Drive, Pineland Place, Hidden Road and West Hazelwood Drive.
- What we left out: lower priced sales on newer infill streets that share the Rivercrest Addition legal name but do not compete with the core of the neighborhood for the same buyers.
Small samples like these move with every sale, so we read them as a guide to how each market behaves, not as a precise growth rate.
What do homes sell for in each neighborhood?
Side by side, the 24 month NTREIS figures look like this:
- Median sale price: $2,700,500 in Westover Hills, $2,220,000 in Rivercrest.
- Range: $925,000 to $4,475,000 in Westover Hills, $1,085,000 to $6,400,000 in Rivercrest.
- Median price per square foot: about $486 in Westover Hills, about $441 in Rivercrest.
- Median home size: about 4,844 square feet in Westover Hills, about 4,681 in Rivercrest.
- Median lot: about two thirds of an acre in Westover Hills, about a third of an acre in Rivercrest.
The headline is that Westover Hills trades at a modest premium per square foot, with larger typical lots. Rivercrest has a wider spread, with the top of the market set by a small number of very large estates.
Is Rivercrest really one market or two?
For a seller, Rivercrest behaves like two markets under one name:
- Rivercrest Drive estates: four sales from $2,435,000 to $6,400,000, a median of $4,337,500 and about $600 per square foot, on lots of roughly three to four acres.
- Rivercrest interior streets: five sales on Pineland Place, Hidden Road and West Hazelwood Drive from $1,085,000 to $2,220,000, a median of $1,350,000 and about $401 per square foot, on lots near a quarter acre.
An estate on Rivercrest Drive competes with the top of Westover Hills, and in this period it outpriced it per square foot. An interior Rivercrest home competes with a different buyer, often someone who wants the location and the club without an estate budget. Read more in our Rivercrest neighborhood guide.
Which neighborhood held value better over the last two years?
Splitting each data set at October 30, 2025 shows how prices behaved across the two years:
- Westover Hills: seven sales in the earlier year at a median of $2,800,000 and about $540 per square foot, then four sales in the recent year at a median of $2,250,000 and about $463 per square foot.
- Rivercrest core: three sales in the earlier year at a median of $2,220,000 and about $474 per square foot, then six sales in the recent year at a median of $2,017,500 and about $421 per square foot.
Both medians eased in the recent year, and in both cases the mix of homes that sold explains most of it. Fewer large, updated homes traded in the recent year. What the numbers do show clearly:
- Rivercrest had more activity in the recent year, six sales against four, which points to steady buyer demand at the $1 million to $2 million level.
- Westover Hills held a higher price per square foot in both years.
- Land drove the strongest results in both enclaves. The two highest prices per square foot in Rivercrest came on Rivercrest Drive lots near four acres, and the highest in Westover Hills came on a 1.7 acre lot.
What should a seller in either neighborhood do with this?
The useful question is not which neighborhood wins but which buyers your home competes for. Our guidance at The Agency Dallas:
- Price against the right tier. An interior Rivercrest home should not be priced off a Rivercrest Drive estate, and a Westover Hills teardown should not be priced off a renovated sale.
- Use both enclaves as comparables when your own street has too few sales. Buyers cross between them freely.
- Lead with land when you have it. Lot size explained the top results in both data sets.
- Plan for a small buyer pool. With roughly a handful of sales a year in each enclave, timing and presentation matter.

Frequently asked questions
Are Westover Hills homes more expensive than Rivercrest homes?
On median price and price per square foot, yes, slightly. NTREIS shows a median of $2,700,500 and about $486 per square foot in the Westover Hills Addition over the two years ending October 30, 2026, against $2,220,000 and about $441 for Rivercrest's established streets. The largest Rivercrest Drive estates sold above anything in Westover Hills.
Which neighborhood appreciates faster, Rivercrest or Westover Hills?
The sales data cannot answer that reliably. Each enclave had about a dozen or fewer qualifying sales in two years, so medians move with the mix of homes that happen to sell. What the data does show is that Westover Hills held a higher price per square foot in both years and Rivercrest had more recent sales activity.
Why does Rivercrest have such a wide price range?
Rivercrest includes multi-acre estates on Rivercrest Drive and smaller homes on interior streets. Over the two years ending October 30, 2026, Rivercrest Drive sales had a median of $4,337,500 while interior street sales had a median of $1,350,000. Pricing a Rivercrest home starts with knowing which of those two markets it belongs to.
Should I compare my Westover Hills home to Rivercrest sales?
Often, yes. Westover Hills sees only a handful of sales a year, so nearby Rivercrest sales of similar size, age and lot can fill gaps in the comparable set. Buyers shop both enclaves, and an appraiser will often look across the line as well, so ignoring Rivercrest can leave a price unsupported.
