The History
How Southlake came to be.
The story behind this luxury suburb, in plain language, as the Sharcom Realty Group team tells it to buyers who are just starting their search. Dates and figures are approximate and drawn from public histories; verify specifics before you rely on them.
Southlake was first settled in the 1840s and incorporated in 1956, four years after Grapevine Lake's completion brought new development west of the Metroplex.
The opening of Southlake Town Square in 1999 created a walkable town center that became the model for upscale Texas suburbia.
Combined with Carroll ISD's national reputation, that made Southlake the state's benchmark luxury suburb and a fixture on wealth rankings.
