Apartment complexes in Uptown Fort Worth: ranked picks
Uptown puts you within walking distance of downtown Fort Worth, the Trinity River trails, and Samuels Avenue, but the complexes here vary a lot in how they actually run day to day. We scored each one using our methodology, which weighs ratings, review volume, recency, and sentiment together rather than just a star average. Below are the eight apartment communities in the area, ranked on how residents actually describe living there.
Most of these properties sit along the Trinity River or on Samuels Avenue, close to Panther Island, the Stockyards, and West 7th. That location convenience comes up again and again in reviews, alongside a recurring set of local pain points: parking scarcity, train noise near the tracks, and security around gated garages and lots.

Ranked picks
Encore Panther Island
score 76/100Staff known by name and quick 1-2 day maintenance turnaround make this the top-rated pick despite some street noise on main-facing units.
Trinity Highline
score 73/100Same-day maintenance from Demarcus and an attentive leasing team back up its high rating, though parking is tight and one refund complaint stands out.
Rocklyn at Samuels
score 72/100Maintenance stand-out Richard and a well-kept property offset a mixed record on pet fees, package theft, and leasing office follow-through.
Jameson at the Bluffs
score 70/100A resort-style pool and responsive leasing staff draw praise, but broken gates, pest issues, and deposit disputes pull the score down.
Pavillion At Samuels
score 68/100Named staff Luis, Craig, and Chegan get consistent credit for responsiveness in a generally calm setting, despite isolated flooding and pest reports.
Trinity Urban Apartments - Bluff & District
score 67/100Monthly resident events and same-day service requests are undercut by recurring AC failures and broken elevators.
The Kelley at Samuels Avenue
score 62/100An infinity pool and named leasing staff impress on tours, but application and deposit-refund problems are a real risk factor.
The Franklin at Samuels Avenue
score 58/100Leasing staff Aaliyah and JB make a strong first impression, but AC outages, security lapses, and billing disputes weigh heavily once you move in.
