About this property

The Hands Down COOLEST Stay in Fort Worth - Active Airplane Hangar

Welcome to The Aviator — a loft perched above an active airplane hangar. Perfect for aviation fans or anyone seeking a unique stay, this 3,900 sq. ft. private residence offers space, comfort, and a front-row seat to flight. Watch aircraft, walk to dining, or even book a discovery flight.

This isn’t just a vacation rental — it’s an experience.

Perched above a fully operational airplane hangar at a busy airport, this private loft offers a rare opportunity to stay where aviation happens.

By day, watch aircraft come and go from your balcony or through oversized windows, all while enjoying the peace of a noise-insulated retreat. By night, settle into a home built for connection — whether that means sharing a meal around the large dining table, challenging friends to a game of pool or foosball, or simply relaxing in one of the five comfortable bedrooms.

And through it all, one thing remains constant: the entire upstairs residence is yours exclusively.
