Back

Southlake is a city in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, located predominantly in Tarrant County with a small portion extending into Denton County. It sits along State Highways 114 and 26, roughly midway between Dallas and Fort Worth and about ten minutes from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. Once a rural settlement anchored by the Carroll school, Southlake grew into one of the most sought-after suburbs in North Texas, with a 2020 census population of about 31,000 and a reputation built on schools, safety, and high-quality housing. The Carroll Independent School District is the city's defining institution. Founded in 1959 from a smaller rural district, it now spans about 21 square miles and serves more than 8,000 students across 11 campuses. Its consistent top-tier ratings — including Texas Education Agency "A" grades on every campus — have made Southlake a magnet for families who prioritize education, and the district's success is closely tied to the city's identity. Residentially, Southlake is a community of master-planned and gated neighborhoods. Golf-course communities, custom-home enclaves, and newer design-oriented developments such as Carillon offer a range of large-lot and estate living, and the housing stock skews heavily toward substantial single-family homes. At the center of civic life is Southlake Town Square, an open-air shopping and dining district modeled on a traditional town center, with more than 260 retail venues and a full calendar of community events. Beyond schools and shopping, Southlake maintains a strong outdoor character, with more than 1,100 acres of parkland and open space, miles of trails, and dozens of athletic fields. The city's combination of top-rated schools, upscale housing, a walkable town center, and airport convenience makes it a benchmark address in the metroplex — a place where the trade-off is typically a premium for location, amenities, and educational opportunity rather than proximity to an urban core.
