PROPERTY MANAGEMENT IN HALTOM CITY, TX
McCaw Property Management leases and manages single-family rentals across Haltom City and the wider North Fort Worth corridor for one flat fee of $175 per month — not a percentage of your rent. On a Haltom City home renting near the local median, that flat fee can save an owner well over a thousand dollars a year versus the standard 8–10% model, with no surprises when rents rise.
We are a licensed Texas real estate brokerage based a short drive north in Keller, and Haltom City is core to our service area. The figures on this page come from actual closed MLS transactions in Haltom City over the trailing six months — not active-listing asking prices, which routinely overstate what homes truly rent and sell for.

What Haltom City Homes Actually Rent For
Across 49 single-family homes that actually closed a lease in Haltom City over the trailing six months, the median rent was $1,895/month, with a median time-to-lease of just 33 days. Homes closed at a median of 98.4% of their original asking rent, and nearly half (49%) leased at or above the original list price — a sign of a market where correctly priced homes move quickly.
| Bedrooms | Median Closed Rent | Closed Leases | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 BR | $1,625 | 8 | $1,100 – $1,700 |
| 3 BR | $1,895 | 30 | $1,500 – $3,150 |
| 4 BR | $2,500 | 10 | $1,800 – $3,150 |
| 5 BR | $3,200 | 1 | $3,200 |
Closed MLS leases, Haltom City, trailing ~180 days. The 3-bedroom home is the workhorse of this rental market — 30 of 49 closings.
The Keller-ISD Pocket Premium
Location inside Haltom City matters enormously. In the central Birdville-ISD core (76117), closed rents centered around $1,800/month. In the newer northwest pocket zoned to Keller ISD and Fossil Ridge High School (76137), median closed rent jumped to roughly $2,700/month — a meaningful premium for the same general city. Underwriting a Haltom City rental on a single citywide average will mislead you in both directions.
Rent scales cleanly with size: homes under 1,200 sq ft leased around $1,700, the 1,200–1,600 sq ft band around $1,850, and 2,000+ sq ft homes around $2,800. Median rent worked out to roughly $1.34 per square foot.
Buying or Holding in Haltom City: The Investor Picture
Across 137 closed sales, the median price was $265,000 at a median of $175 per square foot, with a 30-day median time on market. Sellers closed at a median of 96.8% of original list; only about 30% sold at or above their first asking price, and homes that did reduce cut roughly 6.8%. This is a more affordable, more negotiable entry point than most of North Tarrant County — which is exactly what drives Haltom City’s strong rental yields.
| Segment | Median Closed Sale | Closed Sales | Implied Gross Yield |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 BR | $177,300 | 6 | ~11.0% |
| 3 BR | $254,567 | 99 | ~8.9% |
| 4 BR | $315,000 | 29 | ~9.5% |
| Citywide | $265,000 | 137 | ~8.6% |
Implied gross yield = median closed rent for the segment × 12 ÷ median closed sale price for the segment. Gross yield is before taxes, insurance, maintenance, vacancy, and management; it is a comparative screen, not a net return.
Older Stock Is the Opportunity — and the Risk
About 83% of Haltom City’s housing predates 1980, and the data shows it: pre-1970 homes closed around $169/sq ft, 1970–1999 homes around $179/sq ft, and 2000-or-newer homes around $187/sq ft. The lower entry price on legacy homes is what powers double-digit gross yields on smaller properties — but those same homes carry real deferred-maintenance exposure: original HVAC and plumbing, dated electrical panels, and foundation movement in DFW’s expansive clay soils. This is precisely where day-to-day management earns its keep.
Property Taxes Landlords Should Underwrite
Most of Haltom City sits in the Birdville ISD tax zone. For tax year 2025, the combined rate is roughly $2.207 per $100 of assessed value (City of Haltom City, Birdville ISD, Tarrant County, JPS Health Network, and Tarrant County College combined). The northwest Keller-ISD pocket and the southern Fort Worth-ISD parcels carry different ISD rates — always confirm the applicable district at tad.org before underwriting.
No Homestead Cap on a Rental
A home you don’t personally occupy does not qualify for the homestead exemption, which means there is no 10% annual cap on appraised-value increases. In an improving neighborhood, the appraisal district can raise your assessed value substantially year over year. Budget for it — rising taxes are the most common surprise we see hit a Haltom City investor’s net return.
Haltom City Neighborhoods We Manage
Haltom City spans about 12.4 square miles across five ZIP codes, and each micro-market rents differently. A few we know well:
Central Core — Browning Heights & Diamond Oaks (76117)
1955–1975 brick ranch homes on consistent streets, many owner-updated. The most liquid single-family rental submarket in the city, anchored by Birdville ISD (Haltom High School). Closed rents here cluster near $1,800; this is workhorse cash-flow territory.
Northwest Pocket — Fossil Creek / Western Center (north 76137, Keller ISD)
1990s–2010s stock on larger lots, feeding to Fossil Ridge High School in Keller ISD. The highest rents in Haltom City (median closed rent near $2,700) and the most competition from family tenants who specifically target Keller ISD. Worth the premium acquisition cost for owners who want the strongest tenant pool.
Heritage Village & the Haltom High Corridor (central/north 76117)
Roughly 412 new D.R. Horton homes delivered 2023–2025 on Haltom Road, plus the High Pointe community near Haltom High School. Newer construction means lower maintenance and easy lease-up — but also fresh supply competing for the same renters.
South Core — E. Belknap & Main Street (76111, south 76117)
The oldest stock in the city (1940–1965), the most affordable entry, and the highest rehab needs. Sits inside the city’s new 740-acre TIRZ revitalization district — a patient, long-horizon play with active code enforcement to navigate.
NE Loop 820 / Beach Street — the H Mart corridor (NE 76117)
The city’s highest-profile redevelopment zone. A 50-acre H Mart mixed-use development (40+ tenants, 100% leased) reaches substantial completion in September 2026, bringing hundreds of jobs and new retail. Current stock is aging, but the demand story here is the strongest in the city.
Always verify the exact ISD and any flood-zone exposure (FEMA FIRM) for a specific address before buying — particularly near the Big Fossil Creek corridor.

Is Haltom City a good place to own a rental?

How We Built These Numbers
Every rent, price, yield, and timeline on this page is computed directly from closed MLS transactions in Haltom City (ZIP codes 76111, 76117, 76137, and 76148) over the trailing ~180 days through mid-2026 — 49 closed leases and 137 closed sales. We deliberately use closed-transaction medians, not active-listing asking prices, because asking prices on Zillow and Realtor.com routinely diverge from what homes actually rent and sell for. Gross yields are illustrative comparisons before expenses. Market conditions change; these figures reflect the stated period and are refreshed quarterly.
