Haltom City 377 and 820 (Fort Worth, West: apartment complex, crime, hotel)

[MM828]

I am going to be in this part of Haltom City for the summer, and don't know anything about it. Is this in a good part of town, anything to do there?

well, not really. but you do have downtown fort worth nearby. it's only 10 minutes i believe from there with no traffic. other than that, it's an ok area. are you staying at the value place? nice place by the way. not much around you but open land, an acura dealer, apartment complex (or two), and fast food joints. good luck and have fun.

Haltom City does look rather shady. The good of that area is north of Loop 820 (H-B-E cities). But like rcrdoeva said, at least HC is close to downtown FW (and thus Sundance Square), which has a lot of stuff to do.

yea, i agree Haltom isn't that nice. just north of 820 is fossil creek and they have some apts etc... Resturants etc... by Western center blvd.
Also a close place to look would be off of Hertitage Trace PKY.

i stayed at the value place there about a month ago. the traffic closest to the 377 exit was always backed up mainly at lunch and the obviously rush hour, but sometime backed up for no apparent reason. and the value place hotel uh yeah, its good for the money i guess, but make sure if you need something from the staff that you ask for it before 6pm otherwise your on your own , i asked for a pillow as my daughter had an accident on it and they told me no it was like 7pm not as if it was really late or anything. and i was on the 4th floor and it smelt so bad of weed especially weekends and the rooms themselves had a stale odor that no amount of air freshener would remove
and be careful of your cars mine got door jammed 3 times while parked there we were there 3 weeks, to some people door jam marks arent anything big but i take pride that my car is, or was in top condition.

It's not the nicest area; I tend to avoid HC. I hate to present a less than positive picture of an area, but it reminds me of far west Fort Worth, West of 377. Kind of a decaying area. Actual crime in the area isn't terribly high, but the overall look and feel of Haltom City just isn't there, for me at least.
