Tarrant County anchors the Fort Worth side of the Metroplex, stretching from downtown Fort Worth and the Stockyards east through the Mid-Cities to the edge of DFW International Airport. Browse current Tarrant County listings below, from historic city homes to lakeside properties and newer construction on the county's outer edges.
Created in 1849 and named for militia leader Edward H. Tarrant, the county has Fort Worth as its seat. The pink granite Tarrant County Courthouse, completed in 1895, stands at the north end of downtown Fort Worth's Main Street and is often compared to the Texas State Capitol. The Clear Fork and West Fork of the Trinity River meet near downtown, and the landscape shifts from open prairie to the oak-covered Cross Timbers as you head west.
Many cities share the county. Fort Worth brings the Stockyards, the Cultural District and Sundance Square, while Arlington is home to the region's major-league stadiums and theme parks. Part of Grand Prairie also lies in Tarrant County. The northeast corner includes Grapevine, Southlake, Keller, Colleyville, North Richland Hills and the Hurst-Euless-Bedford area, and Mansfield sits along the southeast edge.
Lake Worth, Eagle Mountain Lake, Benbrook Lake, Lake Arlington and Grapevine Lake offer boating, fishing and shoreline parks. In Grapevine, the historic Main Street district is lined with shops, restaurants and winery tasting rooms, and the Grapevine Vintage Railroad carries passengers between downtown Grapevine and the Fort Worth Stockyards. Southlake Town Square, along State Highway 114, is a popular spot for shopping and dining. Colleges in the county include Texas Christian University, the University of Texas at Arlington, Texas Wesleyan University and Tarrant County College.
Interstates 20, 30 and 35W cross the county, and Loop 820 circles Fort Worth. State highways 114, 121, 183 and 360 tie the Mid-Cities together. DFW International Airport sits partly within Grapevine and Euless, and the TEXRail commuter line connects downtown Fort Worth with the airport, stopping in North Richland Hills and Grapevine along the way.
Tarrant County offers a wide range of housing: early 20th-century homes in Fort Worth's historic districts, established neighborhoods throughout the Mid-Cities, golf course and lakefront properties, and newer master-planned communities on the northern and southern edges. Buyers who want more space can find acreage toward the county's western and northwestern edges. Many independent school districts serve the county, including Fort Worth, Arlington, Keller, Birdville, Carroll, Grapevine-Colleyville, Hurst-Euless-Bedford and Mansfield ISDs, so confirm the district for any home you're considering and research schools directly.
