Rivercrest Bluffs

View Over Trinity River

My favorite neighborhoods have always been niche neighborhoods. The ones that best combine nature and vibrancy. My favorite Fort Worth neighborhood is the niche neighborhood of Rivercrest Bluffs.

Rivercrest Bluffs Neighborhood

Trinity River District

The Trinity River and the Trinity River Water District Meadow and Bike Paths along the Trinity are the Centerpiece of this District

Many favored neighborhoods of Fort Worth are found in the River District, close to restaurants, the medical district, and museums that make the neighborhood fun and convenient.

Trinity River Water District Meadow

In the Trinity River District, the gated Rivercrest Bluffs neighborhood was created along the Trinity River and adjacent to the meadows and bike trails of the public lands that wrap around the neighborhood. Rivercrest Bluffs is the perfect name for this appealing small, secluded, gated development in the River District. The river embraces a peninsula of land that crests at the bluffs along the Trinity River. Wide sweeping views of the river and meadows provide pleasing vistas and immediate access through the private gate to the meadows and bike paths along the Trinity.

Trinity River Neighborhood Reminiscent of Turtle Creek Neighborhood in Dallas

Turtle Creek Frames Turtle Creek Park in Dallas

My favorite neighborhood in Fort Worth, Rivercrest Bluffs, reminds me of my favorite neighborhood in Dallas, Turtle Creek Park. They are both small and secluded with approximately 37 homes and lots surrounded by water and trails. Rivercrest Bluffs, like Turtle Creek, feels totally removed from the city with its panoramic views of meadows, waters and trees, and yet they are both only four minutes from the arts and cultural districts and within walking distance to the most fashionable restaurants.

Fort Worth Neighborhood—Nature and Vibrancy

Architect Louis Kahn designed the Kimbell Art Museum

The joy of living in Fort Worth is that it is a major city with some of the most important museums in the country. The Kimbell Art Museum, the Fort Worth Modern Museum, the Amon Carter Museum and others are designed by international architects and the acquisition committees’ funds allow them to compete with any museum in the world for art acquisitions.

Rivercrest Bluffs Neighborhood Restaurants Add Vibrancy

After you enjoy nature walking or biking along the trail by the Trinity River, you will be able to walk a block to one of many Fort Worth favorite restaurants. These include Salsa Limon, Lettuce Cook, Heim Barbecue, and many others.

These restaurants are drawing people from around the region and across the country to come visit. Here you will only have to walk down the street.

Fort Worth Still Has Feel and Space of Texas

Many in Dallas feel like Fort Worth is the cosmopolitan center of the North Texas region because when their friends visit, the first thing they want to do is to go to the museums in Fort Worth. But what distinguishes Fort Worth is its sense of space and Texas culture as a backdrop to all the avant garde recreational opportunities.

Rivercrest Bluff Neighbors

Rivercrest Bluffs Home

One can often judge a neighborhood by its neighbors. Rivercrest Bluffs has fabulous neighbors from nationally renowned surgeons to young families with children and the prominent Fort Worth homebuilder Michael Dike of Village Homes and his family. You know this is a great neighborhood when a homebuilder has built homes in prestigious developments across Fort Worth and this is the first neighborhood they wanted to leave their previous home of 16 years so they could build a home here themselves. They can also work with your architect and build a home for you.

Whether you buy a lot and build a home or move into a home already built, you will enjoy the neighborhood porch parties and the friendly Fort Worth atmosphere of Rivercrest Bluffs.

25 Clementine Court, Rivercrest Bluffs, The Best Site in the Neighborhood

While every homesite in Rivercrest Bluffs is good, this site at 25 Clementine is what I consider far and away the best lot in this development. For the same reasons Rivercrest Bluff is my favorite Fort Worth neighborhood, 25 Clementine is my favorite site. Located at the end of the cul-de-sac next to the private gate that opens to the meadow, the trail, and the Trinity River, this land is high on the bluff with extensive views of the river and surrounding nature that cannot be built on. The Trinity River is behind the lot and running the length of the lot is the Trinity Water District land that descends to the river and cannot be built on. I have always said it’s not how big one’s lot is, it’s what you are next to—a meadow, water, trails, forest. This site for an architect-designed home has it all. You will be gazing down the Trinity River from two sides of your home and from another side of your home, you will be looking across a meadow where no homes can be built, that descends to the Trinity River. Visually, you will feel like you own over 100 acres and still have the intimacy of a great neighborhood.

Jim Young, 40th employee of EDS, is presented firs Jim Young, 40th employee of EDS, is presented first ever Texas Business Hall of Fame Distinguished Service Award and given tribute by Morton Meyerson. In fact, Dallas icon Morton Meyerson, the 57th employee that became the EDS President and CEO, gave the finest and most important personal and historical tribute I have heard. Morton Meyerson said he had never told Jim Young this before, but when he arrived at EDS, which was only about two years old, it was a cold, stiff organization still trying to get established, where he felt out of place. Jim, with his elegant, warm, inclusive and supportive sense of humor, allowed him to survive and thrive at EDS. He credited Jim Young with creating a company-wide atmosphere of humanity and opportunity for the thousands of employees around the world. Pictured here are his wife, Carole Young, who has also made an incredible impact on Dallas and Texas, with even a Texas prison named after her; and Dale Petroskey, the President and CEO of the Dallas Regional Chamber of Commerce, who wrote a definitive LinkedIn post on Jim receiving this award. Dale is a good example of the incredibly successful people in Jim Young’s orbit that include Jim as a mentor, friend and inspiration, as I do. Jim Young has always placed his family (who have all been incredibly successful, including his daughter Kelly Stoetzel, who headed the TED conferences for several years and selected the TED speakers for 15 years, and his son Jim Young who received a Master’s Degree at University of Cambridge and started his own successful business) first, and treated those young and old around the world as if they were family – Jim was always incredibly interested, and generous with his thoughts, guidance and encouragement. The world is a better place because of Jim Young and everyone that knows Jim Young has benefitted. Thank you Jim! *Orbit of Jim Young

Crosstown Expressway connecting Interstate Highway Crosstown Expressway connecting Interstate Highway 30 to Central Expressway was imminent. Its dedicated path included Munger Boulevard as it was supposed to cut through a dozen Old East Dallas historic neighborhoods. Before the Trinity Toll Road proposal, before the Klyde Warren deck park, and before any movement to reduce or eliminate roads, the homeowners in Old East Dallas did what seemed impossible – they stopped Crosstown Expressway. Crosstown Expressway was eliminated and Munger Boulevard actually had two lanes of traffic removed to enable a landscaped median to be installed reflecting the Munger Brothers original development. Further, Collett and Fitzhugh, that had been one-way couplets, were returned to two-way residential streets interspersed with stop signs. In a neighborhood where a highway had been planned, high speed through-traffic streets were returned to residential streets. The transportation travesty of Crosstown was transformed to a corridor of nature. Please note the 20 miles per hour school zone sign allowing children to walk to school. *History of a Highway

Whenever I go to London I try to stop by The Court Whenever I go to London I try to stop by The Courtauld Institute of Art. It was the first London museum I visited years ago on my initial visit to London. The Courtauld resonated with me for many reasons. I love the architecture. Sir William Chambers in 1775 designed the building that replaced the original 1552 home of the Duke of Somerset. The paintings were predominately lit by natural sunlight in a salon-like setting of dark wood floors, enormous ceilings and tall windows. In the first room on one wall was A Bar at the Folies-Bergere by Edouard Manet. I had first seen this Manet painting when it was on loan at the Chicago Art Institute for a blockbuster exhibition. Ropes were placed eight feet away from the painting enclosed in glass. People were standing three deep. On my first visit to The Courtauld, when I approached an almost empty room, I asked the guard how close could I get to the painting. The guard replied, “Oh, about six inches.” How can you not love a museum that has a fabulous ceremonial staircase, a living room/salon setting for a lovely Manet that one can view at an unhurried pace from any distance. On my last visit right before the pandemic, The Courtauld was shut down for renovation. This trip was my first return. The building and approach is still magical. It brought back memories of seeing then Prince Charles just a few feet away getting into his Jaguar as he departed the museum. The interior of the renovated museum is now opened up with art lighting and light wood floors. Paintings share spaces with several other paintings on the extended walls. The renovation was necessary. It now has a much better event space for fundraisers, private dinners, events and parties. The galleries are better lit and feel more up to date. However, it reminds me of why homeowners go back to their original home and wonder why it has been changed. On this visit, Chinese nationals for their London university art class, asked me to write my feelings on a photocopy of the painting. I wrote “highlighted and hidden.” *The Courtauld Update

Builders use staircases trying to reflect, in thei Builders use staircases trying to reflect, in their traditional spec homes, the grandeur of great European houses. Bill McKenzie, an editorial board member for the Dallas Morning News in the 1990s, asked me, for an editorial he was writing, for examples of the difference in “Big Hair Houses,” starting to dominate Dallas streets, with architect designed homes. As always, Bill asks thoughtful questions that had me reviewing homes with this question in mind. I provided examples including: architects used real bookshelves in the library off the front door, while builders might use bookshelf wallpaper. Where builders would often stack 16 inches of ceiling molding, architects might design 8-inch moldings - more expensive to create but more elegant. However, what I most remember were these Big Hair houses in University Park in Dallas on standard size lots often had two staircases just as one might find in a European estate home. The difference was that the two staircases in Big Hair builder homes, only a room or two away from each other, were almost identical in size, rise and treads. While in architect designed estate homes, the primary staircase was much grander and the servant stairs were steep and narrow indicating a hierarchy of stairs. The best example of this in Dallas is the Crespi Estate, designed by architect Maurice Fatio in 1939. In London, I was reminded of this in the Somerset House now housing The Courtauld Institute of Art. The primary staircase is elegant and inviting, making it enjoyable to walk to the third-floor galleries. As you slide through the images, you will see the secondary stairs, steep, narrow and forbidding. Generic builders often build spec homes just for show; architects design homes for show and purpose. *Hierarchy of Stairs

London light, uninterrupted by tall buildings, ill London light, uninterrupted by tall buildings, illuminates the architectural detail and relief of London’s significant historic buildings. Luminescence prevails even on damp days. A blue sky is a welcome change in the monotony of a grey London landscape. Bright lights and Christmas lights add ornamentation to architecturally significant buildings already heavily ornamented with stone carvings and architectural detail. I have decided London light is more profound because it is distributed in a judicial way, somehow only illuminating the best historically significant buildings, leaving the flat-faced generic ones cast in dull shadows. Even the glitz of New Bond Street has a patina of glimmer. *London Light

Trees announce a neighborhood. One immediately rec Trees announce a neighborhood. One immediately recognizes Highland Park as the most expensive neighborhood in Dallas because of the abundant trees that grace the architecturally significant homes. One cannot see the good police and fire departments or good teachers, but one can immediately enjoy the trees lit by landscape lighting in the summer or Christmas lights in December. When Munger Place was at its nadir, the few artists and urban pioneer homeowners in the neighborhood planted parkway trees – the first sign of revitalization.  New curbs, sidewalks, antique streetlights replacing telephone poles and lamps created additional confidence for new homeowners returning divided up renthouses back to single family homes. I grew up with tree-tunneled streets in Hinsdale and visualized the same for Munger Place. Now, every season I marvel when I ride my bike through this Munger Place tunnel of color – bright green buds in spring, deep dark greens in summer, and yellow, oranges and reds in the fall. *Tunnel of Color
