Smithfield is a City-recognized historic area and one of North Richland Hills’ two named transit-oriented development areas. The City provides a location description and conservation-planning context, rather than a generic real-estate boundary. This guide uses that municipal context and labels broader city options accurately.
Living well in Smithfield
Smithfield is part of the wider North Richland Hills community. Its streets, public spaces, daily destinations, and nearby recreation options can shape how residents fit movement, food planning, and routine healthcare into ordinary weeks. The local details below come from the cited public and official resources; Luma Health does not claim to operate a physical clinic in this neighborhood.
- The City calls Smithfield North Richland Hills’ oldest and most historic area.
- The City locates Smithfield north of Loop 820, between Davis Boulevard and Smithfield Road, with Smithfield Elementary to the north and Mid-Cities Boulevard to the south.
- Vision 2030 says Smithfield has roots extending to the early 1800s and was absorbed into North Richland Hills in 1958.
- The City says a Smithfield conservation plan was completed to guide future redevelopment while preserving the area’s character and providing investment guidelines.
- The City adopted a Transit Oriented Mixed Use Development Code for the proposed Smithfield and Iron Horse rail-station sites in 2009 and approved revisions in 2013.

Useful neighborhood resources
These public spaces and community resources may support practical, repeatable routines. Confirm current hours, access rules, fees, and schedules directly with each operator before visiting.

Visit official resource →How telehealth fits a local routine
Luma Health provides online medical weight-management evaluations to eligible Texas adults. Virtual care can reduce travel time and make follow-up easier to coordinate around work, family, school, and commuting. It does not replace emergency care, preventive primary care, or an in-person evaluation when a clinician determines one is necessary.
Provider-guided care from home
Submitting an assessment does not guarantee treatment or a prescription. A licensed clinician reviews each patient's medical history and determines whether treatment is appropriate.
Check eligibility →Build a sustainable weekly plan
Start with one realistic activity route, one reliable grocery stop, and one repeatable meal or movement habit. Consistency is usually easier when the plan fits the neighborhood and schedule a person already has. Discuss significant changes in activity, diet, or medication with an appropriate healthcare professional.
