Dalworthington Gardens has the longest city name in Texas and earned every letter. Born as a Roosevelt-era Depression homestead project in 1934, the only one of five Texas homestead communities still standing and independent today. “Dal” from Dallas, “Worth” from Fort Worth, “ington” from Arlington three cities surround it on every side, and DWG refused to be absorbed by any of them. Horse-friendly lots, custom estates, and a community identity forged in the New Deal that nobody has managed to take away.
Dalworthington Gardens is a town of about 2,300 people on under two square miles, completely surrounded by Arlington. It began in 1934 as a federal homestead colony, and it still requires half an acre for every single-family lot. Most homes carry Arlington mailing addresses, but the town has its own council, public safety department and water utility.
Around $650K
The streets around Roosevelt Drive, California Lane and Gardens Park, laid out in 1934. Small homestead-era houses sit beside large modern custom homes, some over $1 million.
Lots here typically run half an acre or more, and a state historical marker at Roosevelt and California tells the homestead story. No HOA found.
Lots $330K–$430K
The town’s newest address: a gated enclave of half-acre-plus homesites on private roads, where buyers choose their own builder.
Recent lot listings nearby ran about $330,000 to $430,000 for 0.56 to 2.12 acres. Ask for the HOA dues and builder list before you commit.
$750K–$2.25M
Large custom homes from the late 1980s to the 2000s on lots of an acre or more. Recent asking prices ran from about $749,000 on Estates Drive to $2.25 million for a gated 3.3-acre estate.
Several have seen price cuts in 2026, which gives buyers room to negotiate at the top of the market.
$660K–$725K
Early-1990s custom homes on roughly half-acre to one-acre lots along Sunny Meadow Court, Whisperwood Trail, Broadacres Lane and Oak Trail Court.
Recent listings ran about $660,000 to $725,000, often with pools and room for a shop. No HOA found.
Around $309K
The only attached housing in town: 1974 townhomes on Seville Court and Ambassador Row, near Pioneer Parkway.
The cheapest way into a Dalworthington Gardens address, with no HOA per recent listings. Portals often label them “Arlington.”
Land from $330K
Scattered lot pockets for buyers who want to build. A 0.97-acre lot on Clover Lane listed at $330,000.
Any new lot has to meet the half-acre, 80-foot-wide minimum, so subdividing is limited.
Swipe or drag sideways to see them all.
Every home here carries about 2.182 percent: town 0.6253, Arlington ISD 1.0929, Tarrant County 0.1862, Tarrant County College 0.1123 and the JPS hospital district 0.1650.
That is about $8,727 a year on a $400,000 home and $16,363 on a $750,000 home before exemptions, within about $35 a year of Arlington and Pantego. Taxes are not the reason to choose one over the other.
Owners 65 and over or disabled get a $60,000 town exemption and a freeze on the town portion.
Single-family lots must be at least 21,780 square feet and 80 feet wide, with 50-foot front yards and no more than 25 percent of the lot under roof.
That protects the open feel, and it also means you cannot split a lot the way you could in Arlington.
Horses are part of the town’s image, but the code ties livestock to lots of about 40,000 square feet, with some older properties said to be grandfathered. Verify livestock rights for the specific parcel.
Listings show “Arlington, TX 76016” or 76013 for most Dalworthington Gardens homes. But you are in a separate town.
That means the town’s own public safety department, where officers are cross-trained as police, firefighters and EMTs, its own water utility, and its own permits. Children attend Arlington ISD.
Confirm the city on the Tarrant Appraisal District record before you rely on anything in a listing.
The typical home value is about $561,840, down 1.6 percent on the year, and the average homestead is valued near $572,000.
Only about 20 homes sell in a year, so one estate sale can move the monthly median by hundreds of thousands of dollars. Price every home against true comparables, not the headline median.
Area names reflect recorded plats and street clusters rather than official neighborhoods, drawn from Tarrant Appraisal District data, the City of Dalworthington Gardens, the Texas Historical Commission and listing portals observed in September 2026. Prices shown are asking prices from active or recent listings, not closed sales, and change quickly; ask for a current comparative market analysis. Lot sizes for individual listings differ between portals. Roosevelt Estates lot prices are drawn from nearby lot listings and their attribution to that community is not confirmed; homeowners association dues and the builder list were not confirmed. Tax figures use tax year 2025 adopted rates, are shown before exemptions and are illustrations rather than quotes: City of Dalworthington Gardens 0.625342, Arlington ISD 1.0929, Tarrant County 0.1862, Tarrant County College 0.11228 and Tarrant County Hospital District 0.1650, a combined 2.181722. Comparisons use combined rates of approximately 2.18618 for Arlington in Arlington ISD and 2.18638 for Pantego. The town grants a $60,000 exemption and a tax ceiling on the town levy for residence homesteads of owners aged 65 or older or disabled; state school and county homestead exemptions apply separately and should be verified with the appraisal district. Tax year 2026 rates are being adopted as of September 2026. Zoning figures are from the town code: minimum single-family lot 21,780 square feet, minimum width 80 feet, maximum building coverage 25 percent; lots of 14,500 to 21,779 square feet recorded before 13 April 1981 are not treated as nonconforming. Agricultural and livestock uses are tied to lots of 40,000 square feet in the code, while other sources describe livestock rights on lots over one-half acre; confirm for a specific parcel. The entire town is served by Arlington Independent School District; campus assignment must be confirmed by address. No public improvement district or municipal utility district was found. The Zillow Home Value Index figure is for all homes, with data through 31 July 2026. Sales volume is small and monthly medians are volatile. Population is 2,293 at the 2020 census. Search results relating to Arlington and Pantego were separated; every item was verified as the City of Dalworthington Gardens, Texas.

Dalworthington Gardens is almost entirely residential, and that is the point. What it has sits on its edges, along Arkansas Lane, Bowen Road and Pioneer Parkway. For more, Pantego and Arlington are a few blocks away, and they are labeled here so you know which town you are in.

A Texas Historical Commission marker tells how the town began as a federal subsistence homestead colony, the only one of five in Texas still a self-governing community.
Pioneer Parkway area
A net-zero district campus that opened in 2017, where about 500 Arlington ISD students a year raise heifers, sheep and goats. It is a school, not a public attraction, so watch for open show days.
Pantego, not Dalworthington Gardens
A few blocks north in Pantego: Mana’Eesh, Mr. B’s Burger Pub, Hump’s BBQ and Wicked 3D BBQ.
Arlington, not Dalworthington Gardens
Just over the line in Arlington: 225° BBQ, Cafe Everest and Taco Regio, with downtown Arlington about three miles east.
The town’s own dining list names eight places, and two are national chains, which are left off here. Nearly every business in town uses an Arlington mailing address, so the address alone will not tell you which city you are in.
Two things worth saying plainly. Russell Farm Art Center is in Burleson, not here. And no feed store, stable or equestrian business was found inside town limits, despite the horse-country reputation.
What stands out is the character: a family produce stand since 1969, a BYOB Italian favorite and a 46-acre park, in a town most people drive through without noticing.
Verified September 2026. This is a curated list for a town of about 2,300 residents that is almost entirely residential. It draws on the City of Dalworthington Gardens “Dine DWG” list, business websites and regional reporting; national and regional chains are excluded. Businesses shown as in Dalworthington Gardens appear on the town’s list or describe themselves as located in the town; most use Arlington mailing addresses, and town-limit status should be confirmed with the Tarrant Appraisal District. Grounds & Gold Co. is listed by the town but describes its location as Arlington. Published addresses for Campo Verde conflict, and details for Sasa’s Place and Bowen Donuts were not confirmed. Several other shops described as in the town by a single aggregator were not confirmed and are not listed. Businesses under “Just Outside” are located in Pantego or Arlington, not in Dalworthington Gardens. The Arlington ISD Agricultural Science Center is a school facility; its published address varies between district sources. Russell Farm Art Center is in Burleson; Veterans Park and Arkansas Square Plaza are in Arlington; Bicentennial Park is in Pantego. No reliable source was found for equestrian, feed or event-venue businesses inside town limits. Hours and operating status change frequently; verify before making a special journey. Businesses listed are for general local reference and are not endorsements; I receive no compensation from any business named.

From a New Deal Homestead Colony to the Last Self-Governing One in Texas
Before the colony, this was farmland with cane stubble and woods to the south, along a simple country road called Arkansas Lane.
Early settler Carl Mosig bought a 15-acre place on Arkansas Lane that spring. The Rose-Yates Realty Company of Arlington offered the tract that became the project.
Interior Secretary Harold Ickes approved a federal subsistence homestead project here on 2 December 1933. Ten days later, Dalworthington Gardens, Inc. was formed.
The name blends Dallas, Fort Worth and Arlington, suggested by T. C. Richardson of Farm and Ranch magazine.
Local tradition holds that First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt spotted the site while visiting the area. It rests on an early settler’s recollection and the state marker, not on a dated record.
The government bought 593 acres and divided them into about 80 small farms, with 43 acres set aside for a community house and park.
Lots ran from about 3 to more than 24 acres. Six gravel roads, three running each direction, served the colony.
The idea was simple: working families could grow much of their own food on a few acres while keeping city jobs.
Work crews cleared the land that June, and building began on 5 August 1934. By October, 24 homes were going up.
The homes were four- and five-room frame houses costing about $3,000, built by separate crews for foundations, walls, pine floors, plumbing and roofs.
This was not relief. Homesteaders paid 10 percent down, passed credit checks and had to prove they could repay.
Applicants came from the Dallas or Fort Worth areas and earned no more than $200 a month. Payments ran about $18 to $25 a month over 20 years.
The first families moved in during 1935, when the program passed to the Resettlement Administration.
Early settlers dealt with no gas, faulty water and sewer pipes, and no fences. By one settler’s account, about half of the first arrivals had left by October.
Frustrated residents of Eleanor Drive even had their street renamed Park Drive.
The homestead association took over management of the colony and agreed to repay the government over 40 years. The city still counts 1 June 1936 as its birthday.
By 1937 every homestead was filled. Residents ran a cooperative that built furniture, stepladders and butter churns in the community house, where City Hall stands today.
On 29 June 1949, residents voted to incorporate. That same year owners moved their loans to local lenders, and the federal government stepped away.
Dalworthington Gardens became a city in 1968.
The population grew from 267 in 1950 to 1,100 by 1980.
A zoning amendment made 13 April 1981 the cutoff date for lot size. Smaller lots recorded before then are allowed to stay; new lots must meet today’s larger minimum.
That rule is why the city still feels rural while Arlington grew up all around it.
A Texas Historical Commission marker at Roosevelt Drive and California Lane was dedicated in June 2011, for the city’s 75th anniversary.
It calls Dalworthington Gardens the only subsistence homestead project in Texas still existing as a self-governing community.
The other four in Texas were Beauxart Gardens, Houston Gardens, Three Rivers Gardens and Wichita Gardens.
Arlington ISD opened its net-zero Agricultural Science Center inside the city in October 2017, where students raise livestock.
In 2024 the council took up plans for Roosevelt Estates, 11 lots on private gated streets, and a police station renovation budgeted up to $2 million.
The city marked its 90th birthday on 5 and 6 June 2026 with a dinner honoring pioneer families and a free evening in Gardens Park.
There were hayrides, canning and pea-shelling demonstrations, vintage tractors and a public safety history display.
Population at the 2020 census: 2,293, still on under two square miles.
Compiled from the Texas State Historical Association Handbook of Texas, the Texas Historical Commission, the Arlington Historical Society, the Living New Deal, Texas Senate Resolution 953 (2011), City of Dalworthington Gardens council records and newsletters, Arlington ISD and United States Census counts. Where sources conflict both versions are noted rather than resolved. The number of original homesteads is given as 79 by the Handbook of Texas and as 80 by the state marker. Lot sizes are given as three to thirty-two acres by the Handbook and as 3.749 to 24.436 acres by other sources. The project manager is named as I. T. Orr and as John T. Orr. The marker is listed as erected in 2010 and was dedicated on 12 June 2011. The Eleanor Roosevelt visit rests on an early settler’s recollection and the marker text; no contemporary record was found. The June 1935 departure figures are one settler’s account. June 1949 is the date of the incorporation vote; the formal incorporation order and first mayor were not confirmed. The city dates its founding to 1 June 1936, the date residents assumed management; anniversaries are counted from that date. The 1981 date is the zoning code’s lot-area cutoff; the current minimum lot size should be confirmed in the zoning code. Roosevelt Estates and the police station renovation are drawn from 2024 council packets; final approvals and completion were not confirmed. Census counts: 267 (1950), 430 (1960), 757 (1970), 1,100 (1980), 1,758 (1990), 2,186 (2000), 2,259 (2010), 2,293 (2020).

Santa on a Street-by-Street Parade, and a Year of Free Nights in Gardens Park
Santa lands in Gardens Park, then public safety officers escort him street by street through the whole city. It is the kind of thing a town of 2,300 can still do.
Residents can request a stop at their house. In 2023 Santa arrived by helicopter.
It rolls every 23 December, whatever day of the week it lands on, and has run for more than three decades.
Free live music on the lawn at Gardens Park, run by the Park Board.
A neighborhood safety night with the Department of Public Safety, based at City Hall, 2600 Roosevelt Dr.
Hundreds of costumed kids collect candy from decorated trunks, with popcorn, prizes and hayrides in Gardens Park.
A free outdoor family film at Pappy Elkins Park. Bring chairs and blankets.
Free photos with Santa from the Park Board, a few weeks ahead of the parade.
Free family photos with the Easter Bunny, downloadable afterward.
Public safety departments from across the region show off their equipment, with food, bounce houses and a parade. The DPS calls it its biggest event of the year.
Pantego’s Candy Cane Parade and Santa at Bicentennial Park, a few blocks north. Pantego also runs Easter, Memorial Day and Trunk-or-Treat events.
Billed as the largest Independence Day parade in Texas, downtown about three miles east. Dalworthington Gardens holds no Fourth of July event of its own.
Free Levitt concerts downtown, plus the Rangers at Globe Life Field, AT&T Stadium and Six Flags, all a short drive.
Almost everything happens in Gardens Park, run by the Park Board or the Department of Public Safety, and every event listed here is free.
What you will not find: no Fourth of July event, fishing derby, farmers market or citywide garage sale could be confirmed in Dalworthington Gardens. For those, residents head to Arlington and Pantego.
The city posts events first on its Facebook page and the monthly Garden’s Gazette newsletter at cityofdwg.net.
Timing shown is the usual pattern for each event; exact dates, times and locations change from year to year and should be confirmed with the City of Dalworthington Gardens at cityofdwg.net or 817-275-1234, on the city’s Facebook page or in its monthly newsletter. Event patterns are drawn from city council records, city newsletters and the city website. Locations not stated in city sources are shown as the park where Park Board events are usually held. Statements that an event could not be confirmed mean no reliable source was found, not that the event does not take place. Events under “Just Outside” are held in Pantego or Arlington, not in Dalworthington Gardens. Bobby Franklin, REALTOR®, TREC #0805459, Legacy Realty Group – Leslie Majors Team.
What to know about Dalworthington Gardens schools:
The rating: Arlington ISD earned a C (78) in the 2026 state ratings, its third straight year of gains.
The perk: Arlington ISD’s net-zero Agricultural Science Center is inside the city, and Tarrant County residents pay in-county tuition at Tarrant County College, about half the rate for other Texas counties.

Every home in Dalworthington Gardens is in Arlington ISD. Most are zoned to Key Elementary, which sits inside the city on Roosevelt Drive, then Gunn Junior High and Arlington High School. The district’s farm campus is here too.
Arlington · Pantego · Dalworthington Gardens
Every home in Dalworthington Gardens is in Arlington ISD, and so is all of Pantego. The city never formed a district of its own, so the question is never which district, only which campus.
Superintendent Dr. Matt Smith leads the district. Voters approved a $966 million bond in 2019 and, in May 2026, the construction and technology propositions of a new bond; the athletics proposition failed.
Elementary schools run through grade 6, junior highs cover 7 and 8, and high school is 9 through 12.
3621 Roosevelt Dr
The neighborhood school sits inside Dalworthington Gardens, on Roosevelt Drive, the same street as City Hall. Listing data shows it serving most of the city.
The school describes itself as “located in the beautiful Dalworthington Gardens.” It received campus upgrades under the 2019 bond.
A few edge parcels show other elementaries in listing data, so check the address in the district’s school finder.
3000 S Fielder Rd
A Fine Arts & Dual Language Academy campus, so zoned students get access to arts and two-language programs without applying elsewhere.
818 W Park Row Dr
Arlington ISD’s oldest high school, with its first graduating class in 1905. It is an International Baccalaureate World School and a Fine Arts & Dual Language Academy.
It serves Arlington, Dalworthington Gardens and Pantego. The Colts name dates to 1923.
Dual language students can earn college credit through a partnership with UT Arlington.
4501 W Pleasant Ridge Rd
Some sources list Martin as a zoned high school for part of the city, so confirm by address. It is also home to AISD’s application-based STEM Academy, open to students districtwide.
2212 Michigan Ave
A 23,000-square-foot, net-zero campus inside Dalworthington Gardens, powered by solar and wind, where high school students from every AISD high school raise heifers, sheep and goats.
It opened in 2017 and has pens for goats, sheep, heifers and rabbits, a metal fabrication lab and animal science classrooms.
Students take its agriculture courses through their home high school and can earn industry certifications. It is a school facility, not open to the public.
4900 W Arkansas Ln
An application-based early college and career high school on Arkansas Lane, close enough to be a real option for students in the city.
2224 Southeast Pkwy
On the Tarrant County College Southeast campus, students can earn an associate degree alongside their high school diploma.
Across Arlington ISD
Beyond the zoned schools, families can apply to themed academies, including STEM, fine arts, world language and leadership campuses, and the Dipert Career + Technical Center for high schoolers.
P-TECH programs run at several high schools, and a visual and performing arts center serves students districtwide.
Intra-district transfers use a separate process at aisd.net/transfers. Buses serve students living two miles or more from their zoned school.
W Park Row Dr · Pantego / Arlington
The closest private school, about a mile and a half north on Park Row Drive. It was founded by Pantego Bible Church and has been independent since 1997.
Southeast Campus · 2100 Southeast Pkwy
Dalworthington Gardens homes pay the Tarrant County College tax, so residents pay the in-county tuition rate, about half what students from other Texas counties pay. UT Arlington is a few miles northeast.
Arlington ISD
AISD’s enrollment is falling, driven mostly by fewer children in the early grades. The district has begun closing campuses, starting with Blanton Elementary in East Arlington.
No closure affecting Key, Gunn, Arlington High or Martin has been proposed, but the district has said it must consider more options as enrollment falls.
For a buyer, check the campus again before closing.
The district is never in question here. The campus can be. Most homes feed Key, Gunn and Arlington High, but some sources list Martin High for part of the city, and a few edge parcels show other elementaries.
One website lists a different elementary and junior high entirely. It does not match district or listing data.
Enter the address in Arlington ISD’s school finder at aisd.fsenroll.com, and check again before closing.
Arlington ISD’s tax is about $1.10 per $100 of value. On a $400,000 homestead that is about $4,384 before exemptions.
The $140,000 state school homestead exemption brings it to about $2,850. Owners 65 and over or disabled get another $60,000 and a freeze on their school tax.
The full bill, with city and county, is in the neighborhoods section above.
Arlington ISD earned a C, a score of 78, in the 2026 state ratings, up from 77 the year before and its third straight year of gains.
The case for this corner of the district rests on a zoned IB high school, fine arts and dual language academies at both the junior high and high school, and a range of application programs.
The Agricultural Science Center puts Arlington ISD’s livestock program inside a city that began as New Deal farm plots.
Students take its courses through their home high school, so a Dalworthington Gardens teenager can raise a show animal a few minutes from home.
Accountability ratings are intentionally not shown on the campus cards. They change every year and are described above as district-level context only; use TXschools.gov for current ratings. Rating referenced: Arlington ISD C, score 78, in the 2025–26 ratings released 14 August 2026; its 2024–25 rating was C, 77, following an appeal. The entire City of Dalworthington Gardens is within Arlington Independent School District. Campus assignment must be confirmed by address with the district. The feeder pattern shown (Key Elementary, Gunn Junior High, Arlington High School) is drawn from listing and district sources; some sources list Martin High School, and one third-party site lists Wimbish Elementary and Bailey Junior High, which conflicts with other sources. Distances are approximate. School tax figures use the Arlington ISD tax year 2026 adopted rate of 1.0961 per $100 (2025: 1.0929) and are illustrations, not quotes; the state school homestead exemption is $140,000, with an additional $60,000 for owners aged 65 or older or disabled. The Agricultural Science Center’s address is listed as 2212 Michigan Avenue in the current district directory and as 3210 W Pioneer Parkway in earlier district and news sources. Enrollment and campus counts are approximate and declining; Blanton Elementary closed at the end of the 2025–26 school year. Tarrant County College in-county tuition for fall 2026 was $74 per credit hour against $136 for residents of other Texas counties; confirm current rates with the college. Pantego Christian Academy is a private school on the Pantego and Arlington line and is not in Dalworthington Gardens; other private schools were not verified to publication standard and are not listed. No charter school was found within city limits. Mascots, founding dates and program details come from district and third-party sources and may change. Search results relating to Arlington and Pantego were separated; every item was verified as serving the City of Dalworthington Gardens, Texas.

Median Sales Price
What Dalworthington Gardens homes actually sold for each month. Read the caution beside it before you draw any conclusion from a single month, because this is a very small market.
Dalworthington Gardens often closes only one to three homes in a month. One portal recently showed the median up 60 percent in a single year. That is a change in which homes sold, not the market.
Townhomes near $300,000, 1990s custom homes in the $600,000s and acre-plus estates above $1 million all land on this one line. The citywide median is almost certainly not your comp.
Texas is a non-disclosure state, so portal prices are models. This is MLS. But in a market this thin, ask for the actual comparable sales, lot size included, rather than the citywide line.
Days on market survives a small sample better than a median does, because it describes how the market behaved rather than which house happened to sell.
The first two weeks bring the most traffic a listing will ever get. If they pass without an offer, that is pricing information. Acting in week three beats acting in week ten.
Anything well past the median is worth a look. At the high end especially, sellers who have waited two months are usually the ones willing to negotiate.
Under 10 showings means buyers are deciding quickly. Rising counts mean people are walking through and walking away, which is a different problem from nobody looking at all.
This separates a pricing problem from a presentation problem. Plenty of showings and no offer usually means something specific is putting people off, and that is fixable without dropping the price.
High showings-to-pending means you can be selective without losing homes. Read it against days on market: low on both is a hot market, high on both means the leverage is yours.
This chart is the key to the other three. Dalworthington Gardens often closes one to three homes a month, and some months none. When the bar is that short, one estate sale moves every other number on this page.
Low volume cuts both ways. Fewer buyers, but also far fewer competing listings. Being the only half-acre lot on the market in your price band is a real advantage here.
Expect thin inventory and patience. In a city this small, the right lot may simply not be listed yet, which is an argument for being set up and ready rather than shopping casually.
Charts supplied by NTREIS via 10K Research and Marketing and update automatically. Data reflects residential activity reported to the MLS and may be revised as late-reported sales come in. Dalworthington Gardens often records only one to three closings in a month, which is not enough transactions for a monthly median to be statistically reliable. The Zillow Home Value Index for the city was about $561,840 at the end of July 2026. The figure of $572,423 sometimes quoted for the city is the average homestead taxable value from its tax notice, not a market value. The city combines townhomes, older homes on half-acre lots, custom homes and acre-plus estates, so a citywide median describes none of them well. These charts do not separate lot size or land use. Dalworthington Gardens homes carry Arlington 76016 and 76013 mailing addresses, and some are listed in the MLS under the city name Arlington, so they may not all appear in these charts. No Public Improvement District or Municipal Utility District was found in the city. Market statistics describe the area as a whole and are not a substitute for a comparative market analysis on a specific property. Texas is a non-disclosure state, so publicly available sale prices elsewhere are estimates rather than recorded figures.

Pick a purchase year and the price fills in. If you own here, type over it with what you actually paid. This calculator runs on the Tarrant County index, because a city this small has too few sales for an index of its own. It is up about 141 percent since 2009, and it has barely moved since 2023.
Bought here? Tap the number and enter what you paid.
Federal house price index growth, indexed to the purchase year, where the purchase year equals 100.
Dalworthington Gardens runs on Tarrant County’s federal index. The city has only a few dozen sales a year, far too few for a reliable index of its own.
The county index more than doubled from 2013 to 2022, then leveled off. It rose about 0.5 percent in 2025 and only about 5 percent in total since 2022. Over the longer run it is still up about 141 percent since 2009 and 106 percent since 2015.
Owners who bought before 2021 are sitting on most of that run. Owners who bought in 2022 or later have built equity mainly through their down payment and principal, not appreciation.
The anchor is the leading value index for Dalworthington Gardens: about $561,840 at the end of July 2026, down 1.6 percent on the year.
It covers everything from roughly $300,000 townhomes to $2 million estates on acre-plus lots, so it describes the city, not your street. Own an estate or a townhome? Type in what you paid; the growth rate still applies.
You may also see $572,423 quoted for the city. That is the average homestead taxable value from the city’s tax notice, after exemptions and caps, not a market price.
Dalworthington Gardens often closes only one to three homes a month. One estate sale can push the monthly median up or down by six figures.
One portal showed the median up 60 percent in a single year, which was a change in which homes sold, not a real price jump.
For a real number on a specific home, ask for a comparative market analysis built from true comparables, including lot size.
The typical home here sits right at the Dallas–Fort Worth FHA limit, $563,500 in 2026, and much of the estate belt is above the $832,750 conforming limit, so jumbo loans are common.
The federal index excludes jumbo and all-cash sales, so the high end may have moved differently from what this chart shows.
Homesteads are capped at a 10 percent rise in taxable value a year, and the cap resets when a home sells. A buyer’s first tax bill can be well above the seller’s.
Growth rates are the FHFA All-Transactions House Price Index, annual values 2009 through 2025: Tarrant County, Texas (FRED series ATNHPIUS48439A, base 2000 equals 100, last updated 31 March 2026), the State of Texas (TXSTHPI) and the United States (USSTHPI). State and national figures are annual averages of published quarters. The Tarrant County series recorded 125.50 in 2009, 146.87 in 2015, 286.37 in 2022, 300.61 in 2024 and 301.99 in 2025: a rise of about 141 percent since 2009, about 106 percent since 2015, about 5 percent since 2022 and about 0.5 percent in 2025. FHFA describes county indices as developmental and subject to revision, and values have been revised between vintages. The county series is used because Dalworthington Gardens lies entirely in Tarrant County and its sales volume is too small for a city-level index; ZIP-level indices for 76016 and 76013 cover mostly Arlington and were not used. The prefilled dollar figures are derived, not published: they apply the Tarrant County index to an anchor of $560,000, rounded from a Zillow Home Value Index reading of approximately $561,840 for all homes at the end of July 2026, down 1.6 percent year on year; this reading should be refreshed periodically. The figure of $572,423 is the average taxable value of residence homesteads for tax year 2025 as published in the City of Dalworthington Gardens notice of public hearing on its tax rate, and is not a market value. Monthly sales volume is small and monthly medians are volatile. The index is built from conforming loans and excludes jumbo lending and all-cash purchases. The 2026 conforming limit of $832,750 applies to all Texas counties, and the 2026 FHA one-unit limit for the Dallas–Fort Worth metropolitan area is $563,500; confirm limits with HUD and your lender. Equity figures assume a 30-year fixed mortgage at that year’s Freddie Mac annual average rate (2025 approximately 6.60 percent), held to today, with no refinancing, no extra principal and no additional borrowing. They exclude closing costs, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, improvements and selling costs. The homestead appraisal cap limits increases in a homestead’s taxable appraised value to 10 percent a year beginning in the second year of the exemption and ends on sale; the state school homestead exemption is $140,000, with an additional $60,000 for owners aged 65 or older or disabled. Confirm exemptions with the Tarrant Appraisal District. Every figure was verified as the City of Dalworthington Gardens or Tarrant County, Texas.

The city’s own motto is “a rural oasis in the heart of the metroplex,” and the map backs it up. You get half-acre lots and room for horses, with I-20 a few minutes south, UT Arlington about ten minutes north and both downtowns within about half an hour off-peak.
Typical Off-Peak Drive Time from City Hall
Around Arlington and Beyond
Estimated minutes off-peak from City Hall on Roosevelt Drive. Rush hour can add half again or more. Check a live map before relying on any of them.
Every single-family lot must be at least 21,780 square feet and 80 feet wide, with 50-foot front yards and no more than a quarter of the lot under roof. That rule is why the city still feels open while Arlington filled in all around it.
On lots of 40,000 square feet or more, livestock is allowed, with 10,000 square feet of grazing per horse or cow.
You can also add one guesthouse per home, up to 700 square feet or a quarter of the main house, whichever is larger.
The Department of Public Safety handles police, fire and EMS with officers cross-trained across all three, and patrol cars carry firefighting and medical gear. Residents can get free alarm monitoring.
The city bills water, sewer and trash itself. Trash is picked up twice a week, recycling weekly, and household hazardous waste is collected at your door on request.
With a mayor and five aldermen for about 2,300 residents, City Hall is a phone call away.
I-20 is a few minutes south at Bowen and Little roads, Pioneer Parkway runs along the northern edge, and Highway 360 is a few miles east for the airport and the stadiums.
There is no fixed-route bus. Arlington’s paratransit service covers Dalworthington Gardens, but whether Arlington’s on-demand rideshare picks up inside the city could not be confirmed; test your address in the app.
The nearest train is the Trinity Railway Express at CentrePort, a drive up Highway 360. Plan on owning a car.
Very little shopping or dining is inside the city, so most errands run into Arlington. Listings are scarce, often only a handful at a time, and buyers may wait for the right lot.
Addresses read “Arlington, TX,” which confuses deliveries and listings. City taxes are about the same as Arlington’s, not lower.
There is no city library; most residents pay Arlington’s annual non-resident fee for a card.
This is Barnett Shale country. The city reports one gas pad site and a pipeline compressor station with related valve sites inside city limits.
Drilling is banned in city parks, and compressor stations must sit at least 300 feet from single-family districts. Ask where the nearest site is before you buy.
Flood risk is parcel by parcel. Check the address on FEMA’s flood map and ask for a survey near any drainage.
Drive times are estimates measured from Dalworthington Gardens City Hall at 2600 Roosevelt Drive along typical routes. They are not drawn from a single live traffic source, should be treated as accurate to within about five minutes off-peak, and should be checked against a live map before you rely on them. Rush-hour times are substantially longer, and event days in the Arlington Entertainment District can add much more. Zoning figures are from the City of Dalworthington Gardens Code of Ordinances: minimum single-family lot area 21,780 square feet and width 80 feet (Section 14.02.171); agricultural and livestock uses limited to lots of at least 40,000 square feet, with 10,000 square feet of grazing area per horse or cow (Section 14.02.127); one accessory dwelling per residence, up to the larger of 700 square feet or 25 percent of the main dwelling (Section 14.02.124). Lots recorded before 13 April 1981 may be grandfathered. Animal rules in Chapter 2 also apply. Public safety services are provided by the Dalworthington Gardens Department of Public Safety; response times and fire insurance ratings were not published. Solid waste service is provided by Community Waste Disposal under city contract; collection days and services are as published and may change. The city may purchase treated water from Arlington under a 2016 agreement. Arlington paratransit service includes Dalworthington Gardens per City of Arlington documents; Arlington On-Demand service within city limits was not confirmed. Arlington Public Library non-resident card fees are set by the City of Arlington and were $120 a year as of 2026. The City of Dalworthington Gardens tax rate for tax year 2025 was $0.625342 per $100, against $0.6298 for the City of Arlington; confirm the current adopted rates with the Tarrant County Tax Assessor-Collector. Gas facility information is from the city’s gas well and compressor site disclosures; the setback is from Section 14.02.129 and the park drilling prohibition from Section 1.09.080. No tree canopy, flood zone or noise claims are made. Search results relating to Arlington and Pantego were separated; every item was verified as the City of Dalworthington Gardens, Texas. This information is provided for general reference and is not a representation about any specific property, commute or future infrastructure outcome.

Answered with verified specifics, including the half-acre rule, what you can keep and build on your land, and why every address says Arlington.
No. It is a separate, incorporated city with its own mayor and council, public safety department, municipal court and water utility.
It is completely surrounded by Arlington and borders the Town of Pantego, so many people drive through without knowing they have left Arlington.
Mail is delivered through Arlington post offices, so addresses read “Arlington, TX,” usually 76016 or 76013. Both ZIP codes also cover large parts of Arlington.
The envelope does not decide city limits, taxes or services. Look the property up on the Tarrant Appraisal District site and confirm Dalworthington Gardens is listed among its taxing units.
Arlington ISD serves every address in the city. Most homes are zoned to Key Elementary, which sits inside the city on Roosevelt Drive, then Gunn Junior High and Arlington High School.
Some sources list Martin High School for part of the city, so confirm the campus by address in Arlington ISD’s school finder.
Single-family lots must be at least 21,780 square feet, which is half an acre, and 80 feet wide, with at least 1,250 square feet of living area.
Some smaller lots recorded before 13 April 1981 are grandfathered.
Yes, on a large enough lot. Agricultural and livestock uses are allowed on lots of at least 40,000 square feet, with 10,000 square feet of grazing per horse or cow and 3,000 square feet per other domestic animal.
Animal limits, confinement and manure rules are in Chapter 2 of the city code. Confirm the rules for chickens with the city before you buy.
One guesthouse is allowed per home, up to 700 square feet or a quarter of the main house, whichever is larger. It needs a kitchen, bathroom and permanent foundation, and shipping containers are not allowed.
Accessory buildings over 300 square feet, or with power or plumbing, need a building permit, and they cannot be used for a commercial business.
Only if every new lot meets the half-acre and 80-foot minimums and is platted under the city’s subdivision rules before a building permit is issued.
Flag lots carry extra limits, and the narrow access strip does not count toward the lot area. In practice, few lots can be split.
Using 2025 rates, the combined rate is about 2.18 percent before exemptions: city about 0.625, Arlington ISD about 1.09, Tarrant County about 0.186, plus the JPS hospital district and Tarrant County College.
The city rate is about the same as Arlington’s, not lower. Owners 65 and over or disabled get a $60,000 city exemption and a freeze on the city portion.
Rates are set every fall, so check the Tarrant County tax office for the current figures.
There is no citywide HOA, and most homes sit on individually platted lots with none.
Some subdivisions, such as the gated Roosevelt Estates, may have their own association or deed restrictions. Check the title commitment for the specific property.
The city’s own Department of Public Safety, with officers cross-trained as police, firefighters and EMTs. Patrol cars carry firefighting and medical equipment.
Residents can sign up for free alarm monitoring through DPS at 817-275-1234.
The city bills water, sewer and trash together through its Utility Services Department. It can also buy treated water from Arlington under a 2016 agreement.
Lawn watering is limited to two days a week by address, before 10am or after 6pm.
Community Waste Disposal collects bagged trash twice a week and recycling weekly in a 95-gallon cart, under city contract.
Bulk items and bundled brush go out on trash days, and household hazardous waste and electronics are picked up at your door on request. Service starts with your water account.
The city is overwhelmingly single-family homes on large lots. The code does include multifamily and garden-home districts.
The Ambassador Square townhomes near Pioneer Parkway are the main attached housing and the most affordable way into the city.
Yes, with a city permit. Stays run from 24 hours to 30 days, with two guests per bedroom, no events and no on-street parking.
Operators need liability insurance, hotel-tax registration and a local contact who can arrive within an hour, and each street is capped at two permitted rentals or 10 percent of its homes, whichever is lower.
Fences are limited to 6 feet without board approval, and front-yard fences to 4 feet, without blocking sight lines at driveways and corners.
Pools must be fully enclosed. Check with the permits office before you build.
Apply through the city’s Permits, Inspections and Zoning office. Inspections are done by the city or a third party it hires; schedule at 817-275-1234 or [email protected].
Cosmetic work like paint and flooring needs no permit. Homeowners are responsible for making sure contractors pull the right permits.
On a small scale, yes. The city reports one gas pad site and a pipeline compressor station with related valve sites inside city limits.
Drilling is banned in city parks, and compressor stations must be at least 300 feet from single-family districts. Ask where the nearest site is before you buy.
Flood risk is parcel by parcel. The city tracks federal flood map updates, but no single answer covers the whole city.
Check the address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center, and ask for a survey or elevation certificate if any part of the lot is in a mapped flood zone.
No. Residents use Arlington Public Library, but the city is not a partner city, so most residents pay Arlington’s annual non-resident fee.
Owning property in Arlington, or working or attending school there, can qualify you for a free card.
Not easily. There is no fixed-route bus, and most shopping is in Arlington.
Arlington’s paratransit service includes the city. Whether Arlington’s on-demand rideshare picks up inside the city could not be confirmed, so test your address in the app. The nearest train is the TRE at CentrePort.

Dalworthington Gardens is a city most people drive through without noticing. Every address says Arlington, the lots are half an acre by law, horses need the right size tract, and only a handful of homes sell each month. Everything on this page was researched and verified, and the awkward parts are named.
Most homes here carry Arlington 76016 or 76013 addresses, and listing portals regularly label them Arlington. But you are in a separate city with its own public safety department, water utility, permits and ordinances. I confirm the city on the Tarrant Appraisal District record before you write an offer, and I make sure your comps are true Dalworthington Gardens sales.
Every single-family lot must be at least half an acre and 80 feet wide. Livestock needs 40,000 square feet, with 10,000 square feet of grazing per horse or cow. You can add one guesthouse, and splitting a lot only works if every piece still meets the minimums. I check the lot against the code before you fall for the barn.
With only one to three closings in a typical month, the monthly median can jump or fall six figures on a single estate sale. A 1970s townhome, a 1990s custom home and a gated new build all share one city average. I price from true comparables, lot size and land use included, whether you are buying or selling.
The Tarrant County federal index is up about 141 percent since 2009 and has barely moved since 2023. Typical values here are down slightly on the year, at around $560,000. For buyers that means room to negotiate, especially at the high end; for sellers it means the right price on day one matters more than it did in 2022.
From City Hall you are about 10 minutes from UT Arlington, 14 from AT&T Stadium and roughly half an hour off-peak from either downtown, with I-20 a few minutes south. There is no bus and little retail inside the city, so errands mean Arlington. I will tell you what the drive really looks like from the specific street.
Dalworthington Gardens rewards honesty. There is a gas pad site and a compressor station inside city limits. Flood risk is parcel by parcel. City taxes are about the same as Arlington’s, not lower, and there is no city library. Listings are scarce, so the right lot can take patience. If any of that is a dealbreaker for your household, you will hear it from me before you fall in love with the house.
Confirm the city on the appraisal district record, because the mailing address will say Arlington. Second, check the lot size and zoning against what you plan to do with it, from horses to a guesthouse. Third, ask where the nearest gas pad site or compressor station is. Fourth, check the flood map and ask for a survey near any drainage. And fifth, confirm the campus in Arlington ISD’s school finder, because a few parcels may be zoned differently.
Three Dalworthington Gardens-specific things to raise with all four. Make sure your escrow uses the Dalworthington Gardens city rate, not Arlington’s; the mailing address fools software. The typical home here sits right at the Dallas–Fort Worth FHA limit of $563,500, so ask early whether you are an FHA, conventional or jumbo buyer. And much of the estate belt sits above the $832,750 conforming limit, so bring jumbo pricing into the comparison. I recommend these lenders based on their expertise and service. I do not receive compensation for referrals.
Either is fine. I answer my own phone, and you will never be routed to a call center or handed to a junior agent. Send me an address and I will tell you whether it is really in Dalworthington Gardens, what the lot allows, what the flood map says, and where the nearest gas site is.

Zoning figures are from the City of Dalworthington Gardens Code of Ordinances: minimum single-family lot area 21,780 square feet and width 80 feet (Section 14.02.171); agricultural and livestock uses limited to lots of at least 40,000 square feet, with 10,000 square feet of grazing area per horse or cow (Section 14.02.127); one accessory dwelling per residence (Section 14.02.124). Confirm the rules for a specific parcel with the city. The city tax rate for tax year 2025 was $0.625342 per $100, against $0.6298 for the City of Arlington; tax year 2026 rates were being adopted as of September 2026 and should be confirmed with the Tarrant County Tax Assessor-Collector. Appreciation figures refer to the FHFA All-Transactions House Price Index for Tarrant County, series ATNHPIUS48439A, which rose from 125.50 in 2009 to 301.99 in 2025 and about 0.5 percent in 2025; FHFA describes county indices as developmental and subject to revision.
