Listed at an affordable $155,000, the traditional-style home, built in 1952, has new paint and flooring, new HVAC, and a new bathroom, including cabinetry, lights, and granite.

Location, Location, Location

This Del Rio Avenue location is convenient to plenty of nearby shopping and entertainment venues.

The new homeowner is a quick hop from Interstate 20 and has easy access to Fort Worth’s Ridglea Country Club and Defender Outdoors Clay Sports Ranch.

In addition to the usual suspects such as Starbuck’s and Chick-fil-A, this home is just a few miles from some unique eateries like Tricky Fish, Parrots Taco, and Fuego Burger. A hookah bar, Italian pizza kitchen, and Hoffbrau Steak & Grill House are less than a mile away.

Benbrook is in the southwestern corner of Tarrant County and is considered a Fort Worth suburb, but it’s in that “sweet spot” where homeowners get city life amenities with minimal traffic and crime.

Making The Grade

Benbrook public schools, in Fort Worth ISD, include a pre-K-through-fifth-grade elementary school and middle/high school for grades six through 12.

The elementary school got C’s across the board from txschools.gov. That means the district got a grade below 80 for its overall performance, student achievement, school progress, and closing the gaps.

Benbrook Middle/High School also picked up C ratings in each category.

If public school is not your jam, the home is a quick driving distance to Fort Worth Country Day School and Southwest Christian School.
