Living in Southlake: homes and neighborhoods

Short answerSouthlake sits in northeast Tarrant County between Grapevine and Westlake, a short drive from DFW International Airport. Its civic and retail heart is Southlake Town Square, a mixed-use district with shops, restaurants and Town Hall.

Housing styles

  • Mostly detached single-family homes, from 1980s–2000s subdivisions to newer custom builds
  • Larger-lot and estate properties in parts of the city
  • A smaller supply of townhomes and patio homes near the town center
  • In the $500K–$1M band, inventory is tighter than in neighboring cities; expect older or smaller homes and townhomes at the lower end

Getting around

  • SH 114 and SH 26 connect to DFW Airport and Grapevine
  • Most daily trips are by car; no DART rail service
  • Commute to Dallas or Fort Worth cores varies widely by time of day; test-drive it at rush hour

  • HOA rules on pools, fences and exterior changes
  • Roof age and hail history; many policies use separate wind/hail deductibles

School districts: how to verify

Four public school districts serve parts of Southlake. The City of Southlake's FY2025 budget lists Carroll ISD (about 78% of land area), Northwest ISD (10%), Keller ISD (7%) and Grapevine-Colleyville ISD (5%). Confirm the district for any address directly with the district. Public accountability data is on TXschools.gov. I share district maps and contacts; you decide what fits your household.

Questions about Southlake

Is every Southlake home in Carroll ISD?

No. Carroll ISD serves about 78% of Southlake's land area according to the City of Southlake; Northwest, Keller and Grapevine-Colleyville ISDs serve the rest. Verify the exact address with the district.

How far is Southlake from DFW Airport?

Southlake borders the Grapevine area just northwest of DFW International Airport; many addresses are a short drive via SH 114. Check drive times for your specific address and time of day.

What does a $500K–$1M home look like in Southlake?

It depends on the neighborhood, age and lot. Ask Eric for a current list of recent Southlake sales in your price range from the MLS.

How do I check property taxes for a home in Southlake?

Look up the address on the appraisal district site (Tarrant County (small part in Denton County)) to see each taxing unit and its rate, then add any MUD or PID. Apply for the residence homestead exemption once you live in the home.
