Gogo's take on Edgecliff Village
“Go. Edgecliff Village is a quiet, modest residential enclave south of Fort Worth that poses little safety concern for typical visitors. While there are few tourist attractions within its strictly residential borders, the community is peaceful and low on serious crime.”
About the area

Built out largely in the mid-to-late 20th century, it consists almost entirely of established single-family ranch homes, leafy residential streets, and a quiet community park. Visitors generally pass through while exploring south Tarrant County or visiting local family.
