Some cities are exciting to visit. Others are easy to live in. Fort Worth is one of the few places that offers both.
Spend a weekend here and you’ll find yourself wandering through the Kimbell Art Museum, catching a Broadway show at Bass Hall, meeting friends for dinner in Sundance Square, or walking the Trinity Trails before the Texas heat settles in. On another day, you might spend the afternoon cheering on TCU, exploring the Fort Worth Botanic Garden, or discovering a new restaurant that’s been getting rave reviews. You might enjoy a chef-owned bistro one day and meet friends for Tex-Mex on a patio the next.
It’s a city with plenty to do, but it never feels like you have to rush to get there. That’s one of the reasons so many people choose to call it home during retirement.
