Completely reimagined in 2025, this Ridgmar gem blends 1970s charm with brand-new luxury. Engineered hardwood flows through both floors, while the reimagined kitchen dazzles with quartz counters, custom cabinetry, a designer backsplash, and all-new appliances. Gather at the custom cedar fireplace hearth or unwind on the rebuilt staircase's hardwood treads and railings. A fully renovated half bath, recessed lighting, and a smart Ecobee thermostat add everyday ease. Outside, a private backyard oasis awaits: flagstone entertainment patio, cedar carport with metal roof, stone retaining walls, and a Luxor lighting system set the stage for effortless entertaining. New irrigation, sod, and professional landscaping complete the transformation. A welcoming front porch with smart lighting and ceiling fans invites you home to timeless character minutes from parks, highways, shopping, and Fort Worth's best.

Ridgmar, located between Camp Bowie Boulevard and Interstate 30, is a residential and retail Fort Worth neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and a long-running mall corridor. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Camp Bowie Blvd & Green Oaks Blvd crossroads, where low-slung shopping centers, local eateries, and steady traffic set a practical, West Side tempo. Ridgmar Mall remains a defining landmark, pairing big interior promenades with surrounding pads and parking fields. Nearby, Ridgmar Country Club adds manicured fairways to the area’s open, horizontal feel. Housing trends toward brick one-stories and tidy cul-de-sacs, with pockets of larger lots. Green spaces and school campuses break up the commercial strips, keeping the landscape airy and navigable.
