Living in River East

River East, also known as Riverside, is one of Fort Worth’s most historic and culturally rich neighborhoods, second only to Downtown and Near Southside. Located just on the edge of Downtown, it offers the best of both worlds: close enough to enjoy all the city’s conveniences, yet just far enough to escape the constant bustle.

Many River East apartments even boast some of the best Fort Worth skyline views, thanks to their unique vantage point across the Trinity River. With Downtown on one side and Riverside on the other, the river itself creates both separation and scenery, making it one of the most underrated areas to live.

Nearby, Rock Island / Samuels Avenue is another pocket to keep an eye on, often included in apartment searches because of its central spot between Downtown and River East. But in River East is where you’ll find local gems like Race Street Coffee, Guanajuato Bakery, and neighborhood markets that add to the area’s authentic charm.

Pricing in Riverside is still relatively affordable compared to more central Fort Worth apartments. Expect $1,200–$1,300 for a one-bedroom and $1,500–$1,600 for a two-bedroom. For renters who want convenience, culture, and skyline views without paying Downtown prices, River East truly delivers the best of both worlds.
