Westlake Real Estate

Some reasons an investment in Westlake residential real estate could make a lot of sense for you and your family ...


Westlake, which until the past few years was mostly ranch land, is now being developed in a decidedly upscale way. Its two principal residential real estate developments are the luxury home neighborhoods of Glenwyck Farms and Vaquero.

Westlake also is home to Vaquero Golf Club, generally acknowledged by the local golfing community as one of the DFW metroplex's two best country clubs, and the regional offices of Daimler-Chrysler and Fidelity Investments. It has been discussed as the site for a new super-regional shopping mall that is to be built in the same upscale style as the properties that already have been developed there. Westlake is located in north Tarrant County.


Westlake homes

Westlake homes are among the DFW metroplex's best real estate values ... no MLS-listed homes were sold in Westlake during the three months ending 3/31/2008 ... only luxury homes currently are being built in Westlake ... these high-end homes are offered for sale at prices that range from about $1.5 million to more than $5 million
