Almost everyone who visits Southlake falls in love with it. And why would they not? Southlake has some of the most beautiful custom luxury homes and upscale neighborhoods in north Texas, is served by one of only four DFW area school districts to receive an exemplary rating from the Texas Education Agency in 2008, and is in a beautiful natural setting of wooded rolling hills. Southlake Town Square anchors one of the metroplex's best known shopping areas and Southlake residents have relatively quick commutes to Dallas / Fort Worth International Airport, the Las Colinas business center, and both Dallas and Fort Worth.

Colleyville's gracious way of life probably can be attributed, at least in some part, to its more than 150 years heritage of being an uncommonly pleasant place to live. First settled in the mid-1800's, the area Colleyville now occupies has gone through several transformations, as is again happening now. Family farms and older neighborhoods with small, out-of-date houses are being replaced with estate homes and luxury neighborhoods. In other mature, but more upscale neighborhoods, homes are being renovated and made better than when first built. Colleyville residents appreciate its central location, some of the best schools in the metroplex, and a terrific new upscale shopping and restaurant area.

If one minute you are in one of the two of the best master planned communities in the metroplex and just few minutes later find yourself looking at a patch of pumpkins or a pasture full of grazing cattle, you must be in Flower Mound. Its small town feel, combined with many recently-built upscale homes, some of DFW's top schools, and three nearby major shopping centers make Flower Mound an exceptionally attractive place to buy a home. An added bonus for frequent flyers that live in Flower Mound is they are little more than ten miles from Dallas / Fort Worth International Airport's main passenger terminals.

At times in the past overshadowed by its neighbors, Southlake and Colleyville, Keller now must be considered one the top places in the metroplex to build or buy a new house. New luxury home neighborhoods are being built in all parts of Keller and construction is underway on two adjoining neighborhoods in northwest Keller that together are expected to contain nearly 1,000 mostly upscale homes. Beautiful homes, great neighborhoods, and a relatively short commute to Fort Worth make Keller a popular place to live for people whose work is on the west side of the metroplex.

Frisco is one of the fastest growing cities in the DFW metroplex. However, only a small portion of this growth is taking place within the southwest Frisco area, as it is mostly already built out. Great homes, neighborhoods, schools, and the largest shopping mall in the metroplex are in place and the construction of major thoroughfares leading into and out of southwest Frisco is nearing completion. The expected influx of 150,000 new residents building and buying homes in other parts of Frisco over the next 20 or so years will no doubt create even more choices in shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and services.
