After many years of decline, the indicators are now pointing to a brighter future for the street. Some may wonder about East Lancaster Avenue, which forms Central Meadowbrook’s southern border and is a major commercial corridor in the city. The Trinity River is just to our north, where the Trinity Trails can take you all over the city. Great recreational opportunities like Tandy Hills Nature Area, Gateway Park, Oakland Lake Park, Quanah Parker Park and Meadowbrook Park Golf Course are nearby. We have seven - yes, seven - public libraries within a five-mile radius. (Cristian ArguetaSoto | Fort Worth Report)Īmenities are important to us, just like anywhere. The Central Meadowbrook neighborhood is located in east Fort Worth. About 70 new homes have been added so far in the 21st century. By the end of the 1950s, over half of all homes to be built in Central Meadowbrook were completed. Streets gained curves, homes gained many modern conveniences like air conditioning and one- or two-car attached garages, and whole blocks of homes were under construction virtually simultaneously. The concept of suburban living coincided with Central Meadowbrook’s most dramatic growth period - the 1950s. A dozen homes built prior to 1920 still exist and include a mix of craftsman style bungalows and large, stately homes, some of historic significance.
When Central Meadowbrook’s first residents arrived early in the 20th century, the area was outside the Fort Worth city limits - for years after, it was dairy farms and open country. Especially popular are mid-century modern homes, some reflecting influences of architects like Frank Lloyd Wright and Richard Neutra. Many homes are being renovated and given a fresh appearance, bringing new families to discover what the area has to offer. You literally could own a house built in 1920 or 2020 - or any year in between. It is heavily wooded with gentle hills, large lots and leafy streets.įew neighborhoods in Fort Worth have such diverse housing stock as Central Meadowbrook.

My wife and I have been here ever since.Ĭentral Meadowbrook is a mature and increasingly desirable neighborhood full of diversity, charm and friendly people. When I was discharged from the service, I didn’t have a job lined up, and when looking at a map of the metroplex, east Fort Worth made a lot of sense for wherever my job took me. I fell in love with Fort Worth from the moment I saw the skyline in 1975, arriving as a young airman at Carswell Air Force Base, now the Joint Reserve Base, next to Lockheed. I have lived in Central Meadowbrook for 30 years, and in West Meadowbrook for 10 years before that.
