Most of the Near Southside’s historic apartments and mixed-use buildings have been restored and are now among the most popular housing options.  Units in historic buildings come in all types, from authentically restored units complete with original hardware and cabinets, to open lofts with modern fixtures in former industrial or warehouse buildings.  Mixed-use buildings offer second-floor units above ground floor stores and restaurants at prime locations on Magnolia Ave. and South Main Street.  

The gallery to the left shows a sample of projects. Pioneering mixed-use renovations include the Modern Drug and the Sawyer Lofts. Popular historic apartment buildings include the Markeen, Leuda-May, and LaSalle apartments.  Miller Lofts offers an urban feel in a former industrial building, and the Homes of Parker Commons includes two former school buildings from the 1920s.

These historic renovations provide an assortment of living units unlike any in Fort Worth.
