Fairmount is a Fort Worth residential historic district in the Near Southside area. Its houses and streets document late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century residential development, including bungalow and revival-era architecture.

The city publishes Fairmount design standards and administers historic-property changes through preservation review. Magnolia Avenue provides a nearby commercial reference point, but a house’s location inside the historic boundary and its individual condition are the key details for planning work.

### Places to know

**Historic residential streets.** The area’s houses preserve several periods of Fort Worth residential architecture.

**Fairmount design standards.** The city publishes district-specific preservation and design guidance.

**Magnolia Avenue connection.** Near Southside’s Magnolia Village is a nearby commercial destination.

### Check at the address, not the town name

- Confirm the parcel’s historic designation and review Fairmount’s district standards before planning windows, additions or other exterior work.
- Inspect previous renovations and available approval records; an older appearance alone does not establish whether prior work followed district requirements.
- School attendance zones, flood risk, HOA obligations, utilities and property taxes follow the exact address. Use current records: [TEA school district locator](https://tea.texas.gov/families-and-students/school-district-locator/school-district-locator?ref=tx.co), [FEMA flood maps](https://msc.fema.gov/portal/home?ref=tx.co), [county appraisal districts](https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/property-tax/county-directory/?ref=tx.co).
