Tarrant County
Southlake
A Tarrant County city centered on Southlake Town Square, with larger lots, sustained custom construction and close proximity to DFW International Airport.
Overview
Larger lots and heavy custom-build activity.
Southlake developed around larger residential lots and has kept a high share of custom rather than production construction. Southlake Town Square functions as the retail, dining and civic center of the city, and DFW International Airport sits just to the southeast, which shapes who buys here and why.
The housing
What you'll actually find.
Traditional and transitional custom homes on larger lots are the norm, with construction spanning roughly the late 1980s through current-year builds and an ongoing volume of custom and semi-custom activity. Lot sizes commonly run well above metroplex averages, with acreage parcels and gated developments in specific pockets. Property types are predominantly single-family detached.
The setting
What it sits next to.
SH-114 runs through the city and connects east toward the Dallas North Tollway corridor and west toward Fort Worth. DFW International Airport is generally a ten to fifteen minute drive, and the Solana and Alliance employment centers are both close. Southlake Town Square covers retail and dining, and the city maintains substantial park and trail acreage, with Grapevine Lake and its shoreline parks immediately north.

Southlake questions
Asked and answered.
- How large are lots compared to the rest of the metroplex?
- Generally larger. Much of the residential development was platted at lower density than comparable DFW suburbs, and acreage parcels exist within the city limits.
- How close is the airport?
- DFW International Airport is typically a ten to fifteen minute drive via SH-114, which is a practical factor for buyers who travel frequently.
- Is there much new construction available?
- Yes — custom and semi-custom building has continued steadily, both on infill lots and within newer developments, alongside resale of homes built from the late 1980s onward.
- What drives value differences within Southlake?
- Lot size and usability, whether the home is custom or production, the build year and condition, and proximity to Town Square and the SH-114 corridor. We compare within those bands rather than across the whole city.
