Where it is
Rivercrest in Fort Worth is the area around River Crest Country Club, and a recorded plat that crosses the Trinity River.
In everyday use, Rivercrest means the houses around River Crest Country Club on Fort Worth’s west side. Fort Worth Magazine put it this way in 2017: “commonly referred to as Rivercrest (the neighborhood is technically named Crestline).” The city registers most of that area as Crestline; the only registration with Rivercrest in its name is Rivercrest Bluffs, a homeowners association across the river.
The name also belongs to a recorded subdivision plat, the River Crest Addition: about 565 acres, with the club on its south side and the West Fork of the Trinity River running through it. A plat is the official map a subdivision’s lots are recorded on. This one holds 259 houses. 114 are on the club’s side of the river and have 76107 addresses. The other 145 are across the river and have 76114 addresses. All 259 are inside the City of Fort Worth. So a listing marked Rivercrest can sit on either bank.
Each dot is a house, by its recorded build year:
- River Crest Country Club
- West Fork, Trinity River
- Crestline’s line
By River Crest Country Club’s own history, the River Crest Company was formed on May 23, 1910, to buy the River Crest tract, and the club opened on May 6, 1911. It was the state’s eighth country club, and the first “to include a residential housing development on its acreage.”
The club writes its name River Crest, two words. The city’s records and most searches write Rivercrest, one word. Both name the same place.

Two sides
The two sides of Rivercrest differ in ZIP code, school district, age and lot size.
The river splits the plat into two very different places, and a listing that only says Rivercrest won’t say which one you’re looking at. On the club side, most houses date from the 1910s to the 1950s and sit on large lots. Across the river, most were built from 2016 on, on lots about a third the size.
| The club side | Across the river | |
|---|---|---|
| Houses | Houses 114 | Houses 145 |
| ZIP code | ZIP code 76107 | ZIP code 76114 |
| School district | School district Fort Worth ISD | School district Castleberry ISD |
| Median build year | Median build year 1952 | Median build year 2017 |
| Built 1940 or earlier | Built 1940 or earlier 48 | Built 1940 or earlier 3 |

| Median lot width | Median lot width about127ft | Median lot width about62ft |

| Neighborhood groups the city registers | Neighborhood groups the city registers Crestline Area, Monticello, Northcrest | Neighborhood groups the city registers River District, River Heights, Rivercrest Bluffs |
The plat’s 259 houses sit in the areas of six groups the city registers. On the club side, 68 are in the Crestline Area Neighborhood Association’s area, 44 in Monticello’s and 2 in Northcrest’s. Across the river, 60 are in the River District neighborhood association’s area alone. The other 85 sit in two newer subdivisions inside the River District’s area that have their own homeowners associations: River Heights, with 58 houses, and Rivercrest Bluffs, with 27. The city’s registry lists them as FW River Heights and FW Rivercrest Bluffs, both as homeowners associations.
Of the 68 houses in the Crestline Area association’s area, Crestline’s line takes in 53 whole and crosses the lots of the other 15. The Crestline guide covers that part in detail, from its south edge to the club.
The houses
Most of Rivercrest’s oldest houses are by the club, and nearly all its newest are across the river.
Of the plat’s 51 houses built in 1940 or earlier, 48 are on the club side. Of its 110 built in 2016 or later, 103 are across the river. Historic Fort Worth writes that the River Crest Addition “saw much of its development in the 1920s,” and by the club that holds. Across the whole plat, though, the 2010s added more houses: 92, against 23 from the 1920s.

1920s: 23
2010s: 92
Across the river, the houses fall into three groups. The River District’s 60 are mostly from the 1950s, 34 of them from that one decade. All 58 in River Heights were built from 2016 to 2019, on lots about 50 feet wide. The 27 in Rivercrest Bluffs went up from 2016 on, on lots about 89 feet wide.
The largest lots on the plat are on the club side, inside Crestline’s line: about 33,000 square feet at the median. If you own an older house there, you may be choosing between remodeling it and building new. Our designers and builders can give you a price range for either one. Ask our real estate agents what each would do to the house’s value.
No part of the plat lies in any of the city’s fourteen designated historic districts. Seven houses on the club side are designated one by one: two as city landmarks, where exterior changes go through the city’s historic review first, and five with a demolition delay, which matters only if someone wants to tear the house down or move it. The city’s zoning map shows a designation for any parcel.

Ranges for a custom home in Fort Worth, not a quote. Before there are drawings, a range is the only honest number anyone can give you — the spread between a high and a low bid on the same job is routinely 20% or more. We bill Cost Plus, so when there is a plan you see the actual materials, labor and subcontractor costs, plus our overhead and profit, rather than a single figure with the unknowns padded into it.
What changes the price
- The houses on either side. The size, roofline and front of a new house have to fit the street, and finishes cannot fix that later.
- Your lot or a teardown. A teardown carries demolition, disposal and often a utility disconnect the empty lot never sees.
- Site conditions. Slope, trees, how far the utilities have to come and whether a truck can reach the back of the lot are all real line items before anything is framed.
- Finish level, which on a ground-up build is the widest lever there is — it is most of the distance between the two ends of this range.
- Engineering, which is inside the range, not on top of it. On our last two ground-up builds, the outside engineers’ fees ran about $10,000–$15,000 each.
- Per square foot
- $260–$450
- How long it takes
- 11–18 months
- Fort Worth permit fees
- $3,000–$5,000
- Set aside a contingency
- 10–15% of budget
The schools
Rivercrest has two school districts: Fort Worth ISD on the club side and Castleberry ISD across the river.
The river is the line. The appraisal district puts all 114 houses on the club side in Fort Worth ISD and all 145 across the river in Castleberry ISD, and each district’s own school finder agrees. Both districts assign schools by address, so it’s the parcel that decides, not the name on the listing.
Fort Worth ISD’s School Finder, using its 2026–27 boundaries, zones 112 of its 114 houses here to North Hi Mount Elementary and Stripling Middle, and the other 2 to Mary Louise Phillips Elementary and Monnig Middle. All 114 go to Arlington Heights High. Castleberry ISD’s SchoolSearch zones all 145 of its houses to A.V. Cato Elementary, Irma Marsh Middle and Castleberry High.
Before you sign a contract, enter the address in that district’s own finder. The school district also sets part of the property tax bill, so it belongs in your budget too.

Questions
Rivercrest, Fort Worth, in ten questions.
Is Rivercrest the same as Crestline?
In everyday use, mostly. The area around the club that many people call Rivercrest is largely registered with the city as Crestline, and no neighborhood association is registered as Rivercrest. On paper, only in part: the River Crest Addition, a plat recorded under the name, crosses the Trinity River, and Crestline’s line takes in most of the club’s main parcel. Of the plat’s 259 houses, 53 lie entirely within Crestline’s line and 15 straddle it. The rest are in Monticello’s or Northcrest’s association area on the club side, or across the river in the River District.
Is it River Crest or Rivercrest?
Both are right. The country club writes River Crest, two words. The city’s plat records, the appraisal district and most searches write Rivercrest, one word. They name the same place.
What ZIP code is Rivercrest in?
Two. The 114 houses on the club’s side of the river have 76107 addresses, and the 145 across the river have 76114 addresses. A 76107 address alone doesn’t place a house here: Crestline, Arlington Heights and the separate town of Westover Hills use it too.
Which school district is Rivercrest in?
Two. Houses on the club’s side of the river are in Fort Worth ISD, and houses across it are in Castleberry ISD, by the appraisal district’s records and both districts’ own school finders. To be sure about one house, enter its address in that district’s finder.
Is Rivercrest part of Westover Hills?
No. Westover Hills is a separate town, incorporated in 1939. Every house on the River Crest Addition plat is inside Fort Worth’s city limits, and Fort Worth is the city that permits work on them.
Is there an HOA in Rivercrest?
Across the river, yes, in two subdivisions: the city lists River Heights and Rivercrest Bluffs as homeowners associations. Every other house sits inside a neighborhood association’s area, and Crestline’s registration lists its membership as voluntary. For any one lot, the title commitment shows its deed restrictions, and an HOA’s resale certificate shows that association’s rules and dues.
Is Rivercrest a historic district?
No. None of the city’s fourteen designated historic districts touches the plat. Seven houses on the club side carry their own designation: two are city landmarks and five have a demolition delay. Check the parcel’s designation before planning changes to the outside or a teardown.
Does a house in Rivercrest come with a River Crest Country Club membership?
No. The club is a members’ club and handles membership itself, so owning a house on the plat, even one beside the course, is a separate matter. On the plat, 15 house lots touch the club’s main parcel.
Is Rivercrest in a flood zone?
Few of its houses sit in a mapped flood zone, even with the river running through the plat. FEMA’s mapped flood zone covers about a fifth of the plat’s land and touches 5 of its 259 house lots, and one lot sits in a flood risk area the city draws on its own map. Before you buy, find the lot on FEMA’s map of flood zones and read what the seller discloses about flooding.
How far is Rivercrest from downtown Fort Worth?
From the club, Sundance Square downtown is about 3.5 miles by road, as is The Shops at Clearfork; Dickies Arena and the Kimbell are about 1.5 each. The houses across the river are about a mile from the club in a straight line, and about 3.5 miles by road.
