River Oaks, North West of downtown Fort Worth

[Travis Fairbairn]

Hi all! While driving through River Oaks a few times, I'm noticing some new custom construction in the old run down neighborhoods. However I'm not seeing any changes in the commercial side around the neighborhoods, but its relatively close to all the nice areas of Fort Worth anyways. Has anyone analyzed this area for potential investing?

I like the area myself and have for years.  The prices often seem better than other areas.  The location is awesome, and the schools are good.   The problem is I think no one knows about the area.   For example when people search for properties or rentals they'll probably put in Ft. Worth, not River Oaks, and I think that can keep prices down for both sales and rentals.

Just seems ripe for gentrification or good solid rentals....but I think you have to have good resources in the area or some way to draw people in...

Drive down Inspiration Lane for example.  Awesome views....maybe some of the best in the Metroplex.
