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.

Most of SMU’s opponents are schools which I neve Most of SMU’s opponents are schools which I never can remember, properly identify or that invoke the sense of a collegiate powerhouse. Ed Ruscha has a series of paintings at his MoMA Retrospective that looks like he had taken a campus tour of SMU opponents. If you scroll through, you will see the schools as I imagine them – Tech-Chem Tigers, Trade School Exterminators, Urban Tech Guardians and the Fargo Fat Boys.
 
I am pleased that SMU will begin playing collegiate powerhouses that will make it feel like a real football season – Stanford, Pitt, Florida State, Duke and other iconic universities. The exhibition also included magnificent paintings of Standard Oil gas stations reminiscent of Edward Hopper, other paintings that explore onomatopoeic words that add another layer with his expression of lettering and paintings using many unimaginable materials. But his greatest contribution for me was memorializing what I will always remember as the former opponents of SMU. *SMU Departs Conference

Swiss Avenue is the cradle of Dallas architecture Swiss Avenue is the cradle of Dallas architecture and architecturally significant homes. Hal Thomson is the godfather of Dallas architects. Henry B. Thomson (Hal Thomson), a society architect, after he took a grand tour of Europe, made his mark on Swiss Avenue. The Aldredge house and this Georgian style home at 5323 Swiss Avenue that I just sold, quickly comes to mind when one thinks of Hal Thomson. Just look at the detailing on the brackets under the soffits and on the fascia. The detail here is more elaborate and intricate than what is found on most fireplace mantels. 
 
Twenty-five years ago, I sold this home for the Fraser family that had owned it for 50 years. The property had been maintained but otherwise untouched, accentuating the genius of architect Hal Thomson. After that sale, the home was remodeled, but fell into a state of disrepair. The next owner rescued it, preparing it for my friends and fabulous clients, Elise and John Willding, to purchase and continue to restore and refine the home.
 
The homes on Swiss Avenue continue to be improved, and the importance of these homes become even more pronounced as homes by Hal Thomson, Fooshee and Cheek, Lang and Witchell, and others continue to be torn down in Highland Park. Congratulations to John and Elise for acquiring one of the best houses on Swiss Avenue and one of the most significant homes in Dallas.  Many thanks for their appreciation of historic and architecturally significant homes. Scroll through to see additional photographs of this home. *The Cradle of Dallas Architecture

High-Low style, fashion, and interior design can b High-Low style, fashion, and interior design can be quite pleasing.  I find the State Fair of Texas to be an example of High-Low culture being pleasing.  The State Fair is held at Fair Park, which is almost an art gallery of architecturally significant buildings spread through the park.  These buildings were designed by the best Dallas architects from the first half of the 20th century.  They included architect Mark Lemmon, architect John Danna, and architect George Dahl.  These architects also designed architecturally significant homes in Dallas that I have sold. The State Fair also provides what some might consider low culture, like country music, fair food, fireworks, amusement rides, midway games and the parade.  Since my fourth grade 40-page handwritten report on fairs, I have always been fascinated by fairs of all types.  The Texas State Fair has special appeal, I think, because it is not just in a convention hall or on sawdust covered grounds, but it is placed in a very elegant park of architecturally significant structures.  On opening day and evening, the fair goers and fair workers share high spirits.  The fairgrounds are fresh and clean, not too crowded, and there is a flow of contagious excitement and joy.  I have included a couple of parade pictures just to remind me of the carefree fun that emanates from the State Fair of Texas. *High-Low

John Sebastian is an architect who took his father John Sebastian is an architect who took his father’s, George Sebastian, construction firm to new heights. Award-winning architects carefully curate and often wait in line for the best builders that are capable of adhering to their innovative engineering and design of the architecturally significant residences they create. Dallas is fortunate to have many exemplary builders who keep becoming more capable with each challenging project.  The Sebastian Construction Group is responsible for building many of the elegant eclectic and modern homes by Dallas, national and international architects.  While many cities boast enormous homes of almost garish proportions, Dallas has internationally recognized homes that are dramatic and nuanced. The eclectic homes Sebastian builds recall artistry and scale sometimes we think has been left behind. The modern homes Sebastian builds provoke our imagination as forms are created that only contemporary materials, engineering and an extraordinary architect and builder can produce. Dallas is a great city of contributors which include John Sebastian and the Sebastian Construction Group.

On August 31 in 1813 during the Napoleonic wars, t On August 31 in 1813 during the Napoleonic wars, the city of San Sebastian was burned to the ground.  31 de Agosto is a San Sebastian celebration that includes military reenactments followed by the one street not burned down filled with candle-holding celebrants of the city being rebuilt. I love festivals and parades in any size village or city. When I was attending this August 31 celebration in San Sebastian (by scrolling you can see part of the activities), I walked by the San Telmo Museoa in the heart of Old Town and recalled that the renovation and addition of this Basque art history and cultural museum was designed by architecture firm Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos which emphasized its connection with society. This Madrid based architectural firm was also recently selected for the renovation and modern addition to the Dallas Museum of Art. Both the DMA and San Telmo Museoa are located in the most walkable vibrant part of both cities. The emphasis in both Dallas and San Sebastian is to better connect the museum with society. 
 
It is also interesting that Eduardo Chillida is a Basque artist that did the sculpture in front of the Morton Meyerson Symphony Center. I posted on Instagram August 28, 2019, about the sculpture and the correspondence between Margaret McDermott and Eduardo Chillida. Dallas public architecture and art continue to have a pronounced Spanish influence. *DMA Renovating Architect

The only movie I saw this summer was – Mission I The only movie I saw this summer was – Mission Impossible – at my Dallas neighborhood theater. It happened that I went on the week that a couple of popular movies opened. Upon leaving the theater, I saw a photo box and I couldn’t resist throwing my hat into the ring and adding additional summer tribute to this 2023 cultural phenomenon. *Summer Tribute
