Welcome back to our five-part series exploring real estate activity within the city limits of Mineral Wells, Texas — proudly known as The Wellness Capital of Texas and home to the iconic Baker Hotel and famous Crazy Water.
In this third installment, we’re taking a closer look at the Northwest Side of Mineral Wells — an area full of history, character, and exciting opportunities for homeowners and investors alike.
Located west of U.S. Highway 281 and north of U.S. Highway 180, the Northwest Side stands out for its vintage appeal and architectural charm. This neighborhood features many of the city’s larger, older homes — properties that tell the story of Mineral Wells’ prosperous early to mid-century past.
During the early 1900’s to the late 1960s, this area was the go-to destination for upscale living in Mineral Wells. Homeowners custom-built residences with craftsmanship and style that still capture attention today. Decades later, these homes are being rediscovered by a new generation of buyers who appreciate both the character and value they offer.
Many are undergoing beautiful renovations, revitalizing the neighborhood and preserving its historic roots while adding modern comfort and design.

Average List Price: $396,994

These higher list prices reflect the size, custom nature, and prime location of homes in this area — originally developed as one of Mineral Wells’ first true subdivisions.

Average Sold Price: $282,881

As revitalization efforts continue throughout the city, including the long-awaited restoration of the Baker Hotel, neighborhoods like this are seeing renewed attention from both locals and newcomers.
