Mistletoe Heights, one of Fort Worth’s oldest neighborhoods, is perched on bluffs overlooking the Clear Fork of the Trinity River. Developed in the second decade of the 20th century, Mistletoe Heights was designated as a historic district by the city of Fort Worth in 2002. Made up of more than 500 households on 640 acres, the neighborhood is within a lion’s roar of the Fort Worth Zoo and a few minutes’ drive of downtown’s skyscrapers, Texas Christian University, world-class museums, the Botanic Garden, state-of-the art hospitals, upscale shopping, good schools and fine restaurants. Welcome to Mistletoe Heights, a neighborhood of cozy bungalows, front porches, leafy streets and friendly people, all in the heart of the city “where the West begins.”

Yard of the month: 2400 Harrison Ave.
2011-December
Congratulations to Melanie and Flavious Smith of 2400 Harrison Ave, recipients of the Mistletoe Heights’ December Yard of the Month. The Smith’s sweeping landscape perfectly complements the charming architecture of this beautiful home built in 1915. The garden starts on the east end of the yard and sweeps across the front in a dramatic curve extending all the way to west corner. A beautiful Magnolia tree towers above the east side of the garden, providing shade for Nandinas, Azaleas, Dusty Miller and Wandering Jew. The bed on the west end of the yard is exploding with fall color. Yellow pansies and lantana are the perfect fall color compliment to the deep red of the Nandinas. A few Purple Cone Flowers and the green spikes of hardy Iris provide height in the seasonal garden.
