FORT WORTH, Texas — Walsh, a 7,200-acre development in west Fort Worth, is expanding.
Specifically, 339 homes will be added on the west side of the development along Walsh Avenue.
Home inventory will be released over the next 45 days, starting with 210 lots available now. Home builders involved in the expansion include David Weekley, Drees Custom Homes, Highland Homes, Toll Brothers, Village Home and GFO Home. Pricing is expected to start in the $400,000s for townhomes and can exceed $1 million for custom homes on larger lots.
“Each new phase at Walsh is an affirmation of the vision that was set out for this community to be a place where people not only build a home, but also a life,” said Jim Henry, senior vice president of community operations at Republic Property Group, which is leading residential development in the current neighborhood phase. “We look forward to this expansion broadening our new home offerings and welcoming new residents to this thriving community.”
The 1,600 acres currently under development for residential use are part of a partnership between Walsh Companies and Republic Property Group.
This latest expansion is the third for Walsh in the last year. The Brook Hollow neighborhood opened in February 2023 with 224 lots, followed by The Village neighborhood with 138 lots.
The Primrose School at Walsh, an early education center for infants through Pre-K, is set to open this spring. A 10,000-square-foot fire station is also expected to open in the development in December. Walsh is zoned for Aledo ISD.
Walsh, west of downtown Fort Worth where I-20 and I-30 merge, was established in 2017. Now home to more than 2,500 residents, it’s one of the largest developments underway in the country within 12 minutes of a major city center.
The namesake of the community, prominent Fort Worth philanthropist Howard Walsh, owned and ranched on 7,200 acres just west of Fort Worth. In the ‘70s as I-20 was in the planning phases, Walsh worked with the city of Fort Worth to install infrastructure before the highway was built to allow for future development, according to the neighborhood’s website.
The original Walsh Ranch master concept plan for the ranch was approved by the Fort Worth city council in 2000.
