Where I live is a unique neighborhood.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I live in a gated condominium community called Villas on the Bluff in Cityview off Bryant Irvin Road.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Our group of 80 fourplexes are among numerous apartment buildings, mixed with commercial enterprises such as a car wash, car dealerships and service outlets. It is not a neighborhood for walking, although our compound is a friendly area for walking, getting together at our clubhouse or pool, and admiring our view over the bluff.<\/p>\n

The Villas were built in the late 1970s, a very early contribution to condo living in Fort Worth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I moved here in 2006 from Wedgwood<\/a>, where I had lived since 1969 and where I raised my six kids. I no longer needed five bedrooms, and I no longer wanted to take care of a large lot. I have never regretted making the move.<\/p>\n

There are shopping areas nearby including Costco, Albertson\u2019s, Sam\u2019s Club, restaurants, the Hulen Mall, and most important to this aging resident, a hospital and medical facilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I keep busy as a community activist and will continue to do so until I can move to Urbana, Illinois, to be with four of my children.<\/p>\n

Reed Bilz has lived in Fort Worth since 1969. She raised her six children in the Wedgwood neighborhood. She now lives in a gated condominium community in southwest Fort Worth.<\/p>\n
