Living in Fort Worth

Big-city culture with a friendlier pace — Fort Worth pairs the Stockyards and a world-class Cultural District with revitalizing near-east neighborhoods.

Why renters choose Fort Worth

Fort Worth offers a genuinely distinct alternative to Dallas: the historic Stockyards, a renowned Cultural District of museums, and the walkable energy of Sundance Square downtown — all with a more relaxed feel. The near-east River East district has become one of the city's most interesting revitalizing pockets for dining and the arts.

Getting around

Fort Worth is served by I-30, I-35W and the Chisholm Trail Parkway, with TEXRail and TRE commuter rail connecting downtown to the airport and Dallas.

Living in Fort Worth

Two communities serve Fort Worth: Luxia River East and the newly leasing The Cooper, both Class A. Live pricing and availability are on each community's own website.

The Cooper in the Near Southside

The Cooper sits in Fort Worth's Near Southside Medical District, a walkable stretch of hospitals and teaching institutions just south of downtown. The district is also home to the University of North Texas Health Science Center's College of Nursing — opened as UNTHSC's newest college to help address Tarrant County's projected nursing shortage — and the TCU and UNTHSC School of Medicine (Anne Burnett Marion School of Medicine), putting The Cooper close to both the district's medical employers and its students.
