Arbor View is in the Historic Camp Bowie District - one of the most historic neighborhoods in Fort Worth. Formally, a World War II military training camp, today the area offers a 30-block strip of unique restaurants and stores including some of the finest specialty boutiques in the city. This friendly, tree-lined thoroughfare contains numerous charming pocket parks, trendy shops and casual dining spots. The boulevard is divided into three main sections:
- The Bricks, the most famous part of the district, is lined with red bricks and home to legendary eateries like Kincaid’s Hamburgers, The Original Mexican Eats Cafe and Bluebonnet Bakery.
- Ridglea, where the art-deco Ridglea Theather built in 1948 can be found, in addition to other distinctive 1940s Mediterranean influenced architecture
- Camp Bowie West - a wide-open corridor which hearkens back to the 1950s with vintage neon signs, beloved eateries and a diverse mix of businesses and trendy retail
