Crawford Farms Fort Worth 76244: HOA, Amenities, Schools and Buyer Guide

Is Crawford Farms worth considering?

Direct answer: Crawford Farms can be worth comparing if you want an established Fort Worth 76244 neighborhood with a mandatory HOA and amenities that currently include pools, a splash pad, playground, trails, sports courts, a pond and an outdoor exercise area. The neighborhood name alone does not tell you the complete ownership cost or obligations. Review the current resale certificate and governing documents, verify schools by address, calculate taxes and insurance, inspect the home carefully and confirm whether the property is in Crawford Farms, Villages of Crawford Farms or another legal subdivision before making an offer.

Crawford Farms is in far north Fort Worth near Golden Triangle Boulevard, east of I-35W and west of Beach Street. The City of Fort Worth identifies Crawford Farms as a mandatory association, while the community website describes a 1,072-home neighborhood. Those public sources provide useful orientation, but buyers should rely on the property-specific title documents, appraisal record and current HOA resale package for a purchase decision.

This guide focuses on the questions that most directly affect ownership: which association rules apply, what amenities are available, how Keller ISD changes may affect school assignments, what costs require address-level verification and what can influence future resale.

Local experience in Crawford Farms

Chris Mitchell has represented buyers in four purchases recorded in Crawford Farms and Villages of Crawford Farms. That experience includes two townhome purchases that closed in March 2026 for a repeat investor client.

A real client story

One of those townhomes was listed at $285,000 and closed at $260,000. The other was listed at $269,900 and also closed at $260,000. The work involved comparing rental and resale considerations, property condition, carrying costs and the terms needed to make each purchase work for the client’s long-term plan.

Those results describe two past transactions. They do not promise that another property will sell below its list price or produce a particular investment result. Current demand, condition, financing, association rules, rent potential and the seller’s priorities must be evaluated separately for every home.

What should a buyer check first?

Confirm the legal subdivision and association

Crawford Farms and Villages of Crawford Farms appear as separate subdivision names in local property records. Do not assume they have identical dues, documents, insurance responsibilities or maintenance obligations. Ask the title company and association manager to confirm every association that applies to the exact address, including any master or supplemental association.

Request the current resale package

Review the current assessment, transfer and resale-certificate charges, architectural standards, collection policies, leasing requirements, pending assessments and open violations. The seller’s disclosure or an older listing is not a substitute for the current documents.

Verify the school assignment by address

Keller ISD provides an address-based locator. Use the exact address and correct school year. Buyers in 2026 should check both the current 2026-27 assignment and the district’s transition information for 2027-28.

Calculate the complete monthly cost

Include principal and interest, estimated property taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA assessments, mortgage insurance when applicable and a realistic maintenance reserve. For a townhome, also confirm which exterior components are maintained by the owner and which, if any, are handled by an association.

Crawford Farms has a mandatory HOA

The City of Fort Worth neighborhood registry identifies Crawford Farms as a mandatory association. The community website says membership is automatic when a home is purchased and that the association maintains common areas, administers architectural controls and enforces recorded covenants and restrictions.

The public community website also states that it is not managed by Spectrum Association Management and may not always contain the latest information. Buyers should treat it as an introduction, then verify financial and rule-related details through the current resale certificate, governing documents and association portal.

The public pages currently describe assessment timing in slightly different ways. The new-resident page says assessments are set each fall, billed in late November and due January 1 with a 30-day grace period. The separate payment page says assessments are posted in December and due by January 31. Because the website does not publish the current assessment amount and the timing language differs, confirm the amount, due date, late-fee rules and closing proration directly with association management.

Before the contractual review deadline expires, read the declaration, bylaws, collection policy, architectural guidelines and amendments that apply to the property. If you are considering exterior paint, fencing, solar panels, a pool, landscaping changes or another visible improvement, confirm the approval process before assuming the work is allowed.

If the home will be leased, review the current rental provisions and management requirements. The public new-resident page asks renters and property managers to provide a current lease to management, but buyers should verify whether registration, waiting periods, leasing caps or other restrictions apply to the exact property.

What amenities are available?

The Crawford Farms HOA amenities page currently lists:

a community pool area with shallow pools, a splash pad, seating and covered patios;
a playground;
walking and biking trails;
basketball and tennis courts;
a landscaped pond area; and
an outdoor exercise area.

Ask how access credentials are issued, whether guest or seasonal rules apply and whether any major repair or capital project is planned. When comparing homes, also consider the lot’s distance from the pool, courts, trails, pond and community entrances. Immediate access may be convenient, while a different buyer may prefer less activity near the property.

Where is Crawford Farms?

The City of Fort Worth’s neighborhood registry describes general boundaries using Golden Triangle Boulevard to the north, streets including Drexmore, Penny Royal, Delaney and Rosebriar to the south, Grayhawk, Renwick, Brevet and Stoneside to the east, and Old Denton Road or North Riverside Drive to the west. The HOA describes the community as near the Golden Triangle exit between I-35W and Beach Street.

These descriptions are useful for orientation, but they are not legal surveys. Confirm the legal description, city jurisdiction, utilities and HOA membership for the exact property through the title company and official records.

How should buyers verify Keller ISD schools?

The Crawford Farms HOA currently lists Eagle Ridge Elementary, Timberview Middle School and Timber Creek High School on its new-resident page. That list is not a guarantee for every address or future school year.

Keller ISD’s Board of Trustees approved a campus-consolidation plan on May 14, 2026. The district says its three remaining intermediate schools will close after the 2026-27 school year, with elementary schools serving PK-5 and middle schools serving grades 6-8 beginning in 2027-28. Keller ISD’s transition page lists August 2026 as the period for finalizing specific elementary and middle-school boundary adjustments.

Enter the exact property address in the official district locator for the current school year. Then review the consolidation page and confirm any announced 2027-28 assignment directly with Keller ISD. Listing portals, prior MLS entries and neighborhood websites can become outdated.

Taxes, PID assessments and insurance require address-level checks

Use the Tarrant Appraisal District record to confirm the parcel, legal description, exemptions and taxing entities. Then use the Tarrant County Tax Office for current tax-bill information. A seller’s exemptions or capped taxable value may not transfer, so the seller’s existing escrow payment may understate a buyer’s future cost. The SellingNTX property-tax guide explains what can change after a purchase.

Fort Worth’s public improvement district map is an approximate screening tool. Enter the exact address and contact city PID staff for official confirmation rather than assuming nearby properties share the same assessment structure. The MUD and PID guide provides additional background.

Request a homeowners-insurance quote during the option period. Roof age and condition, claims history, replacement cost, construction details and carrier underwriting can affect both eligibility and premium. The North Texas home-insurance guide covers questions to ask before the contractual deadlines expire.

Home condition matters in an established neighborhood

Crawford Farms includes homes built during different periods and maintained to different standards. Review the roof, HVAC systems, water heaters, windows, plumbing, electrical components, attic ventilation, drainage, foundation observations and prior repairs. When a general inspector flags a concern, use the appropriate specialist before the option period expires.

Cosmetic updates are easy to notice during a showing. The larger financial surprises often involve systems that are less visible. A thorough inspection and early insurance quote help separate attractive finishes from the property’s likely near-term costs.

What can affect resale in Crawford Farms?

Compare the home’s floor plan, bedroom and bathroom count, garage, lot size, street position, traffic exposure, backing conditions, natural light, parking, maintenance history and quality of updates against genuinely similar homes. A townhome and a detached home may appeal to different buyers and carry different maintenance obligations, even when both use the Crawford Farms name.

HOA compliance can also affect a future sale. Unapproved exterior work, unresolved violations or unpaid balances may create delays or additional documentation. Sellers can reduce surprises by reviewing their account and association records before listing.
