About the area
North White Settlement is an established residential suburb immediately west of Fort Worth, heavily influenced by its proximity to Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth and Lockheed Martin. The neighborhood consists primarily of mid-century single-family homes, modest apartment complexes, and neighborhood retail along thoroughfares like Clifford Street and White Settlement Road. It offers a relaxed, unpretentious community atmosphere with easy access to Lake Worth and downtown Fort Worth.
