Written by New Fort Worth Apartment Team [/about/#new-fort-worth-apartment-team →](/about/#new-fort-worth-apartment-team) · Updated October 26, 2026 ![New apartment building in west Fort Worth at golden hour with open sky](/images/featured/new-apartment-building-in-west-fort-worth-at-golde.webp) ## Who is this guide for? If you work at Lockheed Martin Aeronautics or NAS JRB Fort Worth, this guide shows the new buildings within a short drive. It’s part of our new apartments near work [/new-apartments-near-work/ →](/new-apartments-near-work/) series, which we publish only when 5 or more board buildings sit within 20 minutes free-flow. Lockheed Martin lists 19,193 employees in the City of Fort Worth’s FY2025 ACFR, the largest employer figure we use. Many of those jobs, and many base roles, start early. So we time every drive at the hour you’d actually leave. ## Where are the closest new buildings? Most of the closest new buildings sit in two areas: - ** West Fort Worth new apartments [/west-fort-worth/ →](/west-fort-worth/) :** along the I-30 and Loop 820 corridors, including the Las Vegas Trail and White Settlement Road areas and Walsh Ranch farther west. Most commutes here are toll-free. - ** Southwest Fort Worth [/southwest-fort-worth/ →](/southwest-fort-worth/) :** Benbrook, Clearfork, and the Chisholm Trail Parkway corridor. Some routes use Loop 820, and some are faster on the CTP, which is tolled. ![Commute drive-time ring graphic around a west-side employment campus](/images/content/commute-drive-time-ring-graphic-around-a-large-wes.webp) ## What routes do commutes use? | From | Usual route | Toll? | | --- | --- | --- | | West Fort Worth | I-30 or Loop 820 | Usually none | | Benbrook | Loop 820 | Usually none | | Southwest along the CTP | CTP or Loop 820 | CTP is tolled | The CTP runs 22 cents a mile with a TollTag. If the faster route is tolled, we price it as a monthly line and compare it with the toll-free option. For the CTP option, our guide on toll costs on your commute [/guide/chisholm-trail-parkway-toll-costs/ →](/guide/chisholm-trail-parkway-toll-costs/) shows how to figure the monthly line. > **Shift-start timing** > > Tell us your shift. We check the drive at that hour, plus which side of the building the parking exits, since a few minutes at the gate add up. ## How does the military clause work? If you’re stationed at NAS JRB Fort Worth or on orders, there’s a separate termination right under federal and Texas law for qualifying military orders. It’s not the same as the lease’s early-exit clause. The concession addendum, if your lease came with a special, may also say something about repayment. We’d read all three documents together before you sign: the military clause, the early-exit clause, and the concession addendum. That way you know what applies if orders arrive mid-lease. ## What about specials on the west side? West Fort Worth’s typical special was 6.5 weeks on our Oct 25, 2026 pull, a bit under the 8-week board median. Some specials carried hard end dates, like The Sadie’s, which was set to end Oct 31. We confirm every end date in writing before you apply. ## What to ask about a west-side building These questions matter most if you work at Lockheed Martin or NAS JRB: 1. How long is the drive at my shift start, gate to door? 2. Which gate do I use, and which building exit gets me there fastest? 3. Is the special’s end date confirmed in writing? 4. How is water billed at this address? 5. What does the lease say about military orders, and what does the concession addendum say about repayment? | If you are | We’d focus on | | --- | --- | | On an early shift | Drive time at that hour, parking exit | | Expecting orders | Military clause, concession repayment | | Comparing west and southwest | Toll-free I-30 vs. the CTP toll line | We put the answers for each building into your shortlist, beside the whole price. ## What happens next?

We list those within 20 minutes free-flow, mostly in West and Southwest Fort Worth, then recheck the drive at your shift start. ### Can military renters break a lease for orders? Federal and Texas law provide a separate termination right for qualifying orders. It isn't the lease's early-exit clause, and the concession addendum may still address repayment, so read all three. ### Do you account for shift start times? Yes. Tell us your shift and we'll check drive times at that hour, along with which side of the building the parking exits. ### Are commutes to Lockheed toll-free? From most west-side buildings, yes. I-30 and Loop 820 reach the plant without a toll. From some southwest buildings, a Chisholm Trail Parkway route may be faster and tolled. ### Do you guarantee the price or my approval? No. The community sets both pricing and approval, and we confirm them in writing before you sign. ## Related guides Guide ### Toll Costs on Your Commute: Chisholm Trail Parkway and TEXpress Lanes The Chisholm Trail Parkway is 22¢ a mile with a TollTag, and ZipCash runs about double.
