Southlake

Welcome to Southlake, TX! Located predominantly in Tarrant County with areas extending into Denton County as well. A suburb of Dallas & Fort Worth, as of the 2019 census the city of Southlake had a population of 31,000. The area remained rural until the completion of the DFW International Airport in the 1970s. Due to the close proximity to the airport, Southlake became a boom-burb throughout the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.

Southlake is well known for its Southlake Town Square project, a shopping center located on State Highway 114 and Southlake Boulevard. A plan was approved in March 2005 that allowed the Town Square’s area to be doubled. The new additions to Town Square were completed in the summer of 2006, making it one of the most popular shopping centers in the Metroplex.

The vast majority of Southlake is in the 100% TEA Exemplary-rated Carroll Independent School District [CISD]. The Denton County portions of the city are in the Northwest Independent School District [NISD], while the extreme western portions are in the Keller Independent School District [KISD], and extreme eastern portions are in the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District [GCISD]. 

As of the 2013–2014 school year, any residents of the city of Southlake that live outside of the Carroll ISD boundaries are allowed to attend a Carroll ISD school, if they apply through the school district. All of the district’s schools are listed as “Exemplary” by Texas Education Association standards.
