CARROLL PARK

 

Carroll Park is a new kind of neighborhood in south Fort Worth that is designed to make the dream of homeownership more attainable for Fort Worth families. 

Created by the Fort Worth Community Land Trust and developed by Housing Channel with support from the Rainwater Charitable Foundation, 200 thoughtfully designed one- to three-bedroom homes, starting at $135,000, offered to buyers with moderate household incomes in the 60–120% Area Median Income range, adjusted for household size. 

The first homes are expected to be available for sale by the end 2025. While they are not yet on the market, you can begin the process now by attending an information session, completing homebuyer education, and joining us at an open house to learn more. 

 
 

Who Qualifies

Carroll Park homes are offered to buyers in the 60–120% AMI range, adjusted for household size. For example:

  • 1 person: up to $85,750 in household income (wages, SSI, etc.)

  • 2 people: up to $97,800

  • 3 people: up to $110,050

  • 4 people: up to $122,300

    DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE: Households at or below in the 60–80% AMI range may also qualify for up to $25,000 in down payment assistance from the City of Fort Worth, making Carroll Park homes even more affordable.  

    Carroll Park will include an estimated more than 200 homes across three phases, offering duplexes, cottages, townhomes, and stand-alone homes. Each property is designed with modern finishes, energy efficiency, and neighborhood character in mind.


    MODEL HOME NOW OPEN: The first Carroll Park model home, now open at 4092 Merida Avenue, offers a feel for the Carroll Park community: 

    ●       New doors, windows, and fresh paint throughout

    ●       Durable hardwood floors and luxury vinyl plank

    ●       Modern kitchen with stainless appliances, new cabinets, and quartz countertops

    ●       Fully remodeled bathroom with contemporary fixtures

    ●       New heating, cooling, and roofing systems

    Community perks include walkability, easy access to schools and downtown Fort Worth, and a shared laundry facility for owners (coming soon). 

    How Carroll Park works: The community land trust model keeps ownership of the land in trust, while buyers purchase the homes built on it. That means you pay only for the house, not the land — lowering the overall cost of homeownership. Instead of paying for the land value in your mortgage, you’ll sign a long-term ground lease with FWCLT for just $37.50 per month. This keeps your mortgage more affordable today, while ensuring the home stays attainable for future generations.
