Townhomes Bring Modern Style to Fort Worth’s Popular Near Southside

Anyone feeling shut out of Fort Worth’s super‑hot Near Southside housing market now has a new way to step into one of Cowtown’s most popular areas.

New construction at 337 College Ave and 341 College Ave. is where a new limited collection of contemporary townhomes is making its debut. Designed for an urban lifestyle, the new townhomes combine clean architectural lines with modern functionality in an area that seems to be short on places to live. Who doesn’t want to live near work, healthcare, restaurants, and educational opportunities?

Like Hotcakes!

The price tag for this contemporary residence in an area convenient to so much? It’s $556,000 for the two-bedroom unit and $599,000 for the three-bedroom townhome. The townhomes here are selling quickly, according to the listing agent.

”They’re going like hot cakes!,” said Broker Leah Dunn with Leah Dunn Real Estate Group. “The attraction is proximity to everything. Proximity to downtown, proximity to the hospital district, proximity to social urban life, proximity to colleges.”

Part of a 10-unit residential complex, the townhomes are being constructed by Omar Diaz and Victor Valdes, partners in La Vida Urban Living, LLC. The units on the market now were both finished this year, while five units already have sold. Three more townhomes are expected to be put on the market soon, Dunn said.

“We call them the ‘College Avenue Townhomes’,” Dunn said with a laugh. “It’s not sexy, but it’s the truth.”

Modern Details

The townhome at 377 measures 1,987 square feet and contains two bedrooms and three bathrooms. The unit at 341 comes with 2,178 square feet of living space, three bedrooms and four bathrooms. It’s just the different bed and bath count that differs.

Each one offers an open‑concept floor plan with loads of natural light from oversized windows accented by the 10-foot-high ceilings in the main living area. Both have a second‑story seating nook that overlooks the private courtyard.

Modern details are the same in both units, and they run from quartz countertops and stainless‑steel appliances to modern LED lighting. Anyone who has house shopped in the area will appreciate the closets. They’re noticeably more generous than those in most of the older Near Southside homes and are designed with potential elevator conversions in mind. Another departure from surrounding residences, most dating back 100 years, is that the townhome’s primary suite brings a spa‑like feel with a soaking tub, glass‑enclosed shower, and double vanities.

Easy Access

The new townhomes sit in a sweet spot of Fort Worth, positioned just minutes from downtown, the Medical District, Texas Christian University, Texas A&M University’s law school and the restaurants along Magnolia Avenue. The location offers an easy jump between work, dining, entertainment and colleges.

The appeal here is broad. From a physician needing to zip quickly to the hospital to law school roommates to an urban professional want to explore restaurants, these townhomes are sure to have a broad appeal. There’s an easy way to see these. Broker Leah Dunn with Leah Dunn Real Estate will hold these townhomes open from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday.

Broker Leah Dunn with Leah Dunn Real Estate has listed 341 College Ave. for $556,000 and 337 College Ave. for $599,000.
