Rivercrest

Rivercrest is a historic country club neighborhood in west Fort Worth, built around River Crest Country Club, the oldest country club in the city. Its official name is Crestline, but nearly everyone calls it Rivercrest. The Agency Dallas represents buyers and sellers in Rivercrest and markets homes here to qualified buyers across all of North Texas, not only Fort Worth.

What is Rivercrest?

Rivercrest sits in the 76107 ZIP code, about five miles west of downtown Fort Worth and less than a mile from the Cultural District. River Crest Country Club opened in the spring of 1911, and it was the first club in Texas to include a residential development on its own acreage. The River Crest Company was formed that year to buy 625 acres east of the West Fork of the Trinity River, and the neighborhood grew up around the course.

Today Rivercrest is known for mature trees, quiet streets, large lots and well-preserved historic homes alongside newer custom builds, many with views of the golf course. The Kimbell Art Museum, the Modern Art Museum, the Fort Worth Botanic Garden and the Fort Worth Zoo are all minutes away. Fort Worth Magazine reports that 76107 carries the highest average household income in the Fort Worth area, and much of that comes from Rivercrest.

What do homes cost in Rivercrest?

Rivercrest covers a wide price range, from smaller homes on interior streets to multi-million-dollar estates on the course. Recent public data points:

• Homes.com shows a median sale price of $795,500 for Crestline over the trailing 12 months, down 13% from the prior 12 months, with homes selling in about 61 days on average.
• Redfin has listed a median asking price above $4 million for Rivercrest, reflecting the estates that come to market.
• Homes rarely come to market, and homes at $1 million and above are common.

Because the neighborhood mixes modest homes and major estates, a neighborhood median says little about any single house. We price Rivercrest homes from closed sales on matching streets, lot sizes and course frontage.
