About Richland Hills
Compact and community-driven
Richland Hills is home to approximately 8,500 residents and is a compact, affordable suburb in the mid-cities area of Tarrant County. Not to be confused with its larger neighbor North Richland Hills, Richland Hills has its own city government, parks, and community identity while sharing the Birdville ISD school district.
The housing stock is predominantly single-family homes from the 1950s through 1970s, many updated over the years. The city’s affordable price point and central location between Fort Worth and Dallas make it attractive to first-time buyers and families. Richland Hills offers a quieter, more residential atmosphere than the commercial corridors surrounding it.
