The city offered a fifty-acre campus and $200,000, and in 1911 the university moved to its present site, four miles southwest of downtown; the campus reached 187 acres in 1924 and 237 in 1963, when the university bought the Worth Hills Golf Course beside it. TCU Hill was among the places the city annexed in 1922. Berkeley Place and Bluebonnet Hills lie wholly inside the TCU Residential Overlay, a zoning overlay of about 2,500 acres that the City approved on 2 December 2014, and most of Tanglewood's residents do too. Farther south, past Interstate 20, Wedgwood is a neighborhood of brick ranch houses on streets that mostly begin with W, Wedgmont, Wrigley and Winifred among them, and the houses of Candleridge beside it were built between 1975 and 1981. 5 guides are listed below.
All five are Fort Worth ISD, the district the arithmetic on this site's calculators is built on, at 1.0291 per $100 for 2025. The overlay is the thing to check around the university. It is a zoning rule this site could not read from the City, so whether a house is inside it, and what it asks of an owner before an addition or a rebuild, is worth settling with the City before the offer rather than after it. South of Interstate 20 the scale changes: the three Wedgwood associations together held 13,743 residents in 2020, more than the other four guides in this area put together.
