Is there anywhere I can go to find an average residential lot width for Fort Worth? I have searched TAD but I couldn't really find specific measurements. I'd like to know the average for new construction vs. older but anything will help.
Thanks in advance.
Most pre-WW2 lots are 50'x140'. Newer lots are usually wider but can vary.

A close relative of mine lives in Seattle and owns a bigger corner lot in Wedgwood with the original 1920's home and a decent sized backyard by Seattle standards. The neighbors tore down the original house and built a larger modern style home that encompasses almost the entire lot with built space either indoor or outdoor so there's zero room for their kids to play. I asked him why the neighbor kid was always staring out the window overlooking their house and he said that he's waiting for his daughters to go outside and play so that he can join them.
New 80% Rule and Neighborhood Impact
The city benefits from the proposed 80% Rule because it allows infill housing in a predictable manner for both neighbors and homebuilders. Most neighborhoods have irregular but generally consistent lot sizes. For example, take this block of lots zoned Single Family 5000. Lots in this neighborhood require a minimum lot size of 5000 feet, but the existing lots are much smaller. The average lot size of all the lots facing one street is 3,893 square feet while the smallest lot on the block is 2,300 square feet. The proposed 80% Rule would allow a house to be built on a lot that is 3,114 square feet, or about 700 square feet less than the average lot. Because the lot is smaller than 3750 square feet, the new standards would impose a height restriction of 25 feet to insure that the new house would be in character with the surrounding conditions.

If you're looking for a more accurate answer, I read in the TCU magazine recently about the TCU Urban Studies department and some of the work they do. Is really cool.
Think others have posted some of their work on the Forum in years past. You might reach out to a member of faculty or staff to find out if they have somoene who could help.

The link to the article has also been posted on the "Are Current Homebuyers INSANE?" thread.
