Inside, the fully renovated downstairs primary suite impresses with marble finishes, dual shower heads, and a custom California Closets system, while spacious secondary bedrooms upstairs are complemented by a beautifully updated shared bath.
Surrounded by mature oaks, Japanese maples, and elms, the grounds are as thoughtfully designed as the interior. With extensive upgrades—including new flooring, HVAC system, automated gated entrance, sprinkler system, and more—this Crestwood sanctuary is a rare opportunity to own a truly elevated Fort Worth home.
Fort Worth continues to grow — and so does its connectivity. American Airlines, headquartered right here in Fort Worth, has announced 15 new flight routes launching in summer 2026, including two new nonstop routes out of DFW Airport. While this news is exciting for travelers, it also signals something bigger for our local economy and housing market.
Starting June 4, 2026, travelers will be able to fly directly from DFW to:
Expanded air service strengthens DFW’s position as one of the most connected airports in the country, making Fort Worth an even more attractive place to live, work, and invest.
Increased airline routes don’t just benefit vacation plans — they often correlate with economic growth, job mobility, and relocation activity. When travel becomes easier:
Fort Worth’s proximity to DFW Airport is already a major selling point, and expanded routes only enhance that advantage.
Many of American’s new routes focus on connecting smaller markets to major hubs like Chicago and Phoenix. That includes new service from cities such as Abilene, Lincoln, and Columbia, Missouri, creating easier one-stop access to international destinations.
For North Texas, this continued investment reinforces DFW’s role as a national and global gateway — something buyers and investors consistently value when choosing where to put down roots.
American Airlines’ expansion is another reminder that Fort Worth isn’t slowing down. From infrastructure improvements to corporate investment and now increased air access, the region continues to attract attention — and opportunity.
Whether you’re a homeowner curious about long-term value, a buyer considering a move, or someone watching Fort Worth’s growth closely, these developments are worth noting.
