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.

A home an architect designed for himself and his f A home an architect designed for himself and his family is always one of my favorites. This architecturally significant and historically significant home at 4511 Highland Drive in Old Highland Park is even more special because it was designed by the iconic Highland Park and Dallas architect, Herbert M. Greene, who also designed the Cox/Beal Beaux Arts style estate home on Beverly and Preston. Adding to the legacy of this home overlooking Hackberry Creek and backing up to Lakeside Drive estate properties, is a home that was passed down successfully to family members over three generations. Until only recently when he died at 97, John Greene Taylor owned and lived in the home. I first met John Greene Taylor 20 years ago when he gave me a call and asked if I would like to see his home that his grandfather designed. I was thrilled to see this 1920s home with very high ceilings and graciously proportioned formal and informal rooms. The architectural detail and woodwork were still intact. Apparently, the beneficiary of the estate had no real interest in preserving the home, which does not bode well for its future. I don’t know if Preservation Park Cities has this historic home on their list of 100 Architecturally Significant Historic Homes? I do know that the high-profile real estate firms thought the home only had land value as a lot. Here is a perfect example of how an early proactive preservation effort might have made a difference. I will remember John Taylor Greene with admiration and appreciation for saving this architecturally significant historic home for as long as he did – his entire life. *Architectural Legacy Ends

I have always been a huge advocate of the City Man I have always been a huge advocate of the City Manager form of government until now -- I realized it exacerbates and feeds off of a ward system that needs reform. You can see my latest blog article, "City Manager Ward System Form of Government Needs Reform" on DouglasNewby.com. The current City Manager Ward System takes away the voters' control, hinders the progress of Dallas priorities, and the Mayor's initiatives. My conversion on this topic over the last two months has come from the Dallas Mayor's good initiatives being thwarted, and the City Manager's public and private disrespect for the Mayor and now many on the City Council. I wrote "City Manager Ward System Form of Government Needs Reform" before the Dallas Morning News broke the story that the City Manager's future will be reviewed by the City Council when they meet on Wednesday. The reason this called meeting has been so long coming is because a majority of the City Council cannot fire the City Manager. The City Manager only needs to keep six City Council members happy to keep his job. It will be interesting if the Mayor and the four City Council members that are on record for wanting to fire the City Manager will have a super-majority of the City Council to do so. I have tried in my blog article to give a fresh perspective of the history of the City Manager form of government and single member districts, and what has been brewing at City Hall between the Mayor and City Manager. The current City Manager ward system form of government needs reform if Dallas is going to continue to flourish. *City Manager Ward System

What is one going to do when one becomes fond of t What is one going to do when one becomes fond of the orchid that comes floating in a pre-dinner cocktail, the Serrano, ordered in the gallery from Bemelmans Bar at The Carlyle overseen by Manager Dimitrios Michalopoulos? When the drink is finished, rinse the orchid off in chilled water and place it in one’s lapel buttonhole for the evening’s dinner at Antonucci’s. Seated outside close by was a prominent hedge fund partner that I casually know from TED. I went by to say hello to him and his grown family dining with him. After a brief fun exchange, he complimented me on my orchid. This allowed me to explain the origin story of the orchid to him and his family’s amusement, which inspired this post. I did not mention that I now have an inclination where John Reoch sources his buttonhole flowers he wears when he knows paparazzi will be close by. *Cocktail Orchid

Urban planners and architects often create digitiz Urban planners and architects often create digitized renderings to show how a plaza becomes a human space – a reflection pool, a piece of sculpture, spotted trees, and three people placed in the hardscape between buildings. And when I see these renderings, I say to myself, “Yeah, like that is ever going to happen.” And yet in real life at the MoMA, when I turned and looked at what seemed to be a large computer rendering, it was really a MoMA sculpture garden with a pool, a sculpture, spotted trees, and three sunbathers with their feet dangling towards the pool, with chairs strewn about inviting more to join them. Before long, as I often do when I am visiting the MoMA, I found my way to a chair under a tree with dappled light to relax and enjoy the day. The musing I have written across the photograph maybe should have been – “When life mimics renderings.” *Three Bathers

An exhibition in a museum with an enjoyable scale, An exhibition in a museum with an enjoyable scale, mask optional, beautiful paintings, presented in a way one learns more about the artist, the artistic period, and the history of its time is my favorite way to view art. The MoMA exhibition, “Matisse: The Red Studio,” captures all these positive components. Sometimes looking at a series of paintings in a museum can make one a bit weary. This “Matisse: The Red Studio” exhibit exhilarates and energizes the viewer. It also propels one to see the other floors of the permanent collection with a fresh eye and a deeper insight on how to look at and think about art. “The Red Studio” becomes a studio index for the other paintings on the walls surrounding the 6 foot x 7 foot Red Studio panel.  MoMA was successful in assembling and displaying all the paintings pictured in “The Red Studio.” This commissioned painting of a studio was originally painted in the natural colors of the studio’s blue and green walls and wood floors. Matisse then did a reset of not just this painting but of his art. He rapidly repainted all the walls, ceilings and floor in red. His patron who commissioned the piece, upon seeing it, rejected it as did the art critics when the piece was exhibited in Paris, the Armory in New York, and at the Art Institute of Chicago. Matisse, who was a favorite fauve painter at the time, was ridiculed for this piece that went unsold for years. Hidden from view for years and only some 20 years later, found a buyer who placed it in his fashionable nightclub. Matisse did not include any of his earlier fauve paintings in “The Red Studio” but instead included his more recent calmer and more decorative paintings that he hung on his studio wall, some shown as you scroll through. Creativity is ideas that come in many forms. Sometimes it takes months, sometimes years, and sometimes generations for an expression of creativity to resonate with the public at large. “The Red Studio” resonates with us now. Congratulations to MoMA for another great show. *Studio Index

Doors will open and the new owners, a delightful y Doors will open and the new owners, a delightful young couple, will be embraced by a warm, sun-filled home, designed by architect Max Levy, that will provide them generational happiness. The front five-foot wide frosted pivot door opens to an entertainment gallery that links the glass-walled wings of the home—the open kitchen, dining and living areas, and the two-story wing of bedrooms. From almost every room there is a visual connection to every other room, the garden, and at least one of the five mature live oak trees framed by a window. Across the gallery from the front door, is a wide, sliding glass door, framed in white oak, that opens to a room surrounded by windows on three sides that protrudes into the garden.  Above the center room is a screened room only accessible to the garden, making these two stacked rooms the center of this residence and the center of the property, so one can fully enjoy nature and the trees that inspired the design of this modern home in Greenway Parks. No wonder many consider this the finest home sited on less than .5 acres in Dallas. *Doors Open
