White Settlement is a small, close-knit city on the west side of Fort Worth — home to Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth and a significant population of military families, defense contractors, and Lockheed Martin employees. The city's affordable housing stock and older detached homes make it a practical market for home additions, particularly for families who want to stay close to the base.
