About River Oaks
West Fort Worth character
River Oaks is home to approximately 7,600 residents and is an independent city entirely surrounded by Fort Worth’s west side. Located near the Trinity River along the Jacksboro Highway corridor, River Oaks maintains its own municipal government, police department, and community identity despite its small size.
Served by Castleberry ISD, the city features affordable housing with a mix of post-war homes and updated properties. River Oaks’ proximity to downtown Fort Worth, the Stockyards, and major transportation routes makes it accessible. The housing market is influenced by its inner-suburb location, Trinity River proximity, and the ongoing revitalization of the west Fort Worth corridor.

How does Castleberry ISD affect home values in River Oaks?
Castleberry ISD serves River Oaks and is a smaller, community-focused school district. School district boundaries influence comparable sales selection, and a qualified appraiser accounts for these factors when valuing River Oaks properties.
How long does a River Oaks appraisal take?

Does Trinity River proximity affect River Oaks property values?
Properties near the Trinity River may have flood zone considerations that affect value. We analyze FEMA flood maps, elevation certificates when available, and comparable sales with similar flood zone status. Flood zone designation can materially impact both value and insurability.
Can I use an appraisal for my River Oaks property tax protest?
Yes. River Oaks properties are appraised by the Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD). An independent certified appraisal provides strong evidence for a property tax protest. The deadline to file is May 15 each year. We recommend ordering your appraisal in March or April to have it ready in time.
