Fort Worth feels smaller, more neighborly, and rents run slightly lower than equivalent Dallas neighborhoods. Downtown Fort Worth is more walkable in a compact way than Downtown Dallas.
Where do young professionals rent in Fort Worth?+
West 7th, Near Southside, and Downtown are the top spots. West 7th especially - it's the clear hub for 22-30 year olds with tons of bars, gyms, and new apartments in walking distance.
Are there good Fort Worth apartments near TCU?+
Yes. Several complexes within 5-10 minutes of TCU cater to both students and young pros. Supply tightens before fall semester, so we recommend looking in May or June.

The city overall is as safe as any major Texas city. We stick to neighborhoods we know well and can flag any specific property with recent incident history.
