Fort Worth, Texas, makes up half of the truly massive Dallas-Fort Worth metro, but it\u2019s definitely a major city in its own right. In fact, Fort Worth became the 13th largest city in the U.S.<\/a> in 2019, and the city outpaces Dallas<\/a> by nearly 4 percent in growth.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you\u2019re one of the 1.2 million people predicted to live in Fort Worth in 2030<\/a>, here are four things you need to know about Fort Worth.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fort Worth is Fort Worth<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the start, you should know that Fort Worth is not Dallas, nor is Dallas Fort Worth. Yes, together the cities make up the wonderful and loved DFW area, but treat your city as something unique. For starters, the first thing you\u2019ll notice is a little more breathing room than you\u2019ll find in Dallas as it\u2019s less populated.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other things you\u2019ll only find in Panther City is Downtown Fort Worth<\/a>, which has earned past accolades of being one of the best downtowns in the country<\/a> due to its safety and cleanliness. At its heart you\u2019ll want to know about Sun Dance Square, a 35-block entertainment district full of restaurants, shops, music halls and more amidst a great mix of historic and modern buildings.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fort Worth neighborhoods<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we\u2019re on the topic of Fort Worth, you need to explore all of Fort Worth\u2019s neighborhoods and districts<\/a> as each offers a distinct vibe and feel that will reflect and impact your daily life. For example, Near Southside is known as its casual, creative, and close-knit community full of of venues, breweries, and plenty of walkability.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, you can enjoy entertainment and outdoor recreation in Panther Island, as well as enjoy other hotspots such as the Coyote Drive-In Movie Theater or the Panther Island Pavilion\u2014the only waterfront stage in Texas.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cost of living in Fort Worth<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To put it plainly, Fort Worth is more affordable than Dallas<\/a>. According to a comparison on BestPlaces.net, Fort Worth is overall more affordable than Dallas and slightly more affordable than national averages. To be fair, healthcare costs and utilities are slightly higher, but savings in other areas make up for it. You\u2019ll find the biggest savings in the important area of housing.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The median home cost is $17,000 less in Fort Worth than Dallas, and even bigger savings compared to the rest of the country.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fort Worth Culture is more than cowboys<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be fair, cowboys are a part of the culture. We\u2019ve mentioned Sundance Square, where you\u2019ll experience the more than 10 million visitors, but there\u2019s more to explore. For example, learn about the mid-1800s in Log Cabin Village or see Michaelangelo\u2019s first well-known painting at the Kimbell Art Museum.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what is culture without talking about the local culinary options? Locals love grabbing chicken at The Cookshack<\/a> in Arlington Heights, dining on soul food at Madea\u2019s Down Home Cooking<\/a>, or savoring some Mexican options at Enchiladas Ol\u00e9<\/a>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
