PARK HILL

Written by Eric Duran — Founder and Realtor, The Fort Real Estate · Updated November 2, 2026

The short answer: Park Hill is the smallest market in 76109 and the hardest to price. Three houses closed in the twelve months to November 2026, at a $1,200,000 median and about $389 a square foot, taking a median 80 days to go under contract at 92.3% of the last asking price. Over the same twelve months another six listings came off the market without selling. Ten listings in a year, in total.

Read those three sales as indicative, not definitive. I publish the number because it is the record, but a three-sale median is a data point, not a market. The spread tells you more than the middle does: $1,025,000 for a 1952 house of 4,332 square feet, $1,200,000 for a 1976 house of 3,085, and $2,700,000 for a 1929 house of 4,981. That is $237 to $542 a square foot inside one small neighborhood.

What the withdrawn listings show is the real story here. Six listings were cancelled or expired over the same period, and the pattern in the record is consistent: the houses that sold had reduced, and the ones that held their number came off the market. The 1929 house that closed at $2,700,000 had been listed earlier at $3,199,000. The largest house in the neighborhood, a 6,596-square-foot 2016 build, was listed at $3,950,000 and expired, relisted at $3,650,000 and was withdrawn, and went under contract within 21 days once it came to market at $3,500,000. Nothing about that is unusual for a thin luxury market — there are not enough comparable sales to anchor a price, so the market finds it the slow way.

This is also where the difference between the two sale-to-list numbers matters most. Park Hill closed at 92.3% of the last asking price, but at 90.0% of the original. In a neighborhood that trades three houses a year, the first price is close to a guess, and the gap between those two figures is what that guess cost.

The housing stock is pre-war and mid-century on small lots. The three closed sales were built in 1929, 1952 and 1976, all four-bedroom, on lots of roughly a fifth to a third of an acre. Everything in the neighborhood plats as Parkhill Addition, on Lofton, Winton and Medford. Nine of the ten listings over the past year asked $1,000,000 or more, which makes this one of the two genuinely high-end pockets in 76109 alongside Colonial.

Lily B. Clayton Elementary is the zoned campus, the same campus that serves University Place, and the school building itself sits in 76110 rather than 76109. The Texas Education Agency rated it a B, 86 out of 100, in its 2026 accountability ratings — 461 students, 95.6% attendance, 13.9 students per teacher. Attendance zones are drawn address by address, Fort Worth ISD is in the middle of a boundary revision running through 2029, and a transfer is never a guarantee. I run that check for every client before they write an offer.

Colonial is the other high-end address in 76109 and trades at roughly twice the median. University Place shares the elementary zone at a third of the price. Tanglewood is the fastest market in the ZIP.
