About South Hills
South
South Hills South, located between I-20 and I-35W, is a residential and commuter-friendly Fort Worth neighborhood with mid-century ranch streetscapes and a golf-course edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Granbury Road corridor near Seminary Drive, where taquerias, barbershops, and long-running local storefronts set a steady, everyday rhythm. Architectural cues lean toward brick one-stories, deep setbacks, and mature shade trees. The greens and fairways of Pecan Valley Golf Course shape the area’s open-sky feel. Nearby, the Southside’s cultural pull adds gallery nights and coffee stops without changing the neighborhood’s quieter cadence.
