What's New in Argyle, Texas, 2026 Update

Argyle, Texas, has long been known for its rolling countryside, Argyle ISD schools, and tight-knit community feel. In 2026, this Denton County town is undergoing its most significant transformation yet, and the changes are worth understanding whether you already live here, are planning to move here, or are considering selling.

As a Texas Real Estate Broker and REALTOR® with Covenant Heritage Realty and someone who works in Argyle every day, I want to walk you through the major developments shaping this community right now, and what they mean for homeowners, buyers, and sellers. If you are considering a move from another city or state, our North Texas relocation guide walks through the full process.

Quick Answers

Short, direct answers to the questions buyers and residents ask most about what's new in Argyle, based on the verified details in this article. Construction, business openings, and school changes can shift, so confirm current specifics with the relevant sources.

• What is being built in Argyle right now?

  The Heritage mixed-use development at I-35W and Robson Ranch Road is the largest project, with a 50-acre Baylor Scott & White wellness campus, an H-E-B grocery store, retail, and restaurants. Infrastructure construction began in 2026, with the first phase expected to open in 2027.

• What school district serves Argyle?

  Argyle is primarily served by Argyle ISD, which opened Scott Gibson Middle School for the 2026-27 school year and is transitioning to a second high school, Argyle Legacy High School, in 2027. Some areas in and near Argyle are served by Northwest ISD; verify attendance zones directly with the district.

• What is the property tax rate in Argyle?

  For fiscal year 2025-26, the Town of Argyle adopted a municipal property-tax rate of $0.343100 per $100 of taxable value. That is the Town's rate only; the total obligation may also include Argyle ISD, Denton County, and applicable special-district assessments.

• Is now a good time to buy new construction in Argyle?

  That depends on your timeline, budget, and goals. The Ridge at Northlake (Argyle ISD, final phases), Furst Ranch (Argyle ISD, presales underway), and Wildflower Ranch (Northwest ISD, wide builder selection) offer different options across price ranges.

• Are all Argyle addresses inside the Town of Argyle and Argyle ISD?

  No. Argyle mailing addresses, Town of Argyle limits, Argyle ISD boundaries, and nearby master-planned communities are not always geographically identical. Verify jurisdiction, school zoning, property taxes, utilities, and special-district assessments for the exact address.

The Heritage Development, H-E-B & Baylor Scott & White Wellness Campus

The biggest single development in Argyle's history is underway at the southwest corner of I-35W and Robson Ranch Road. The Heritage is a 124-acre mixed-use project that was unanimously approved by the Town Council in March 2025 and has since gained significant momentum. The developer, R.Y. Properties, was approved to receive up to $20 million in sales tax dollar reimbursements in October 2025.

At the center of the project is a 50-acre Baylor Scott & White wellness campus, a multi-phase, multi-decade build-out that will include medical offices, retail space, fitness facilities, and eventually an acute care hospital. Infrastructure construction began in 2026, with the first phase expected to open in 2027. In addition, a cardiovascular center opened at 151 FM 407, Ste. 150 in early 2026.

Grocery anchor: H-E-B has committed to a grocery store of up to 150,000 square feet within the Heritage development, alongside big-box retail and additional restaurants. This will bring a major grocery option directly into Argyle for the first time.

What this means for residents: Argyle has historically lacked a major healthcare facility and full-service grocery within town limits. The Baylor Scott & White campus will bring comprehensive medical services, from primary care to specialty clinics, directly into the community. The development is expected to generate over 3,200 jobs and an estimated $107 to $127 million in net new sales tax revenue for Argyle over 30 years, funding additional community services and infrastructure.

Harvest House: Luxury Multifamily Living

Hillwood, the developer behind the Harvest master-planned community, opened Harvest House, a 349-unit luxury multifamily community within the Harvest development. The project includes 259 apartments and 90 townhomes with private yards, ranging from 662 to 1,758 square feet.

Amenities include a resort-style pool, 24-hour fitness center, co-working lounge, and podcast studio. It is now open and leasing, anchored by the adjacent Harvest Town Center. Hillwood describes Harvest House as the first luxury apartment complex within the Argyle ISD boundaries, an important option in an area that has been almost exclusively single-family homes for young professionals, families testing the area before buying, and employees at the nearby AllianceTexas development.

For a closer look at the Harvest community overall, see the Harvest community guide.

FM 407 Widening and Micro Breakout Project

Two separate efforts affect FM 407, and it is important to distinguish them.

Micro breakout (Denton County, near completion): A roughly $2 million interim relief project at the FM 407 and I-35W interchange added right-turn lanes, drainage improvements, and pavement markings. The contract was awarded in January 2026, construction began in April 2026, and lane striping was nearly complete as of late July 2026. For the full picture, see FM 407 and I-35W Traffic Improvements: August 2026 Update for Northlake and Argyle.

Proposed widening (long-term): TxDOT's proposed project would ultimately widen approximately 11.5 miles of FM 407 from Bill Cook Road in Justin to FM 1830 in Argyle into a six-lane urban divided roadway with pedestrian and bike accommodations. The project remains in the planning stage, with environmental review, right-of-way acquisition, utility relocation, funding, and bidding among the steps that must be completed before construction, and no official construction start date has been set.

Four-lane interim configuration: In May 2026, the Town of Argyle formally asked TxDOT to limit the widening through Argyle proper to four lanes to preserve the town's rural character and tree canopy. That interim configuration, if adopted, would differ from the ultimate six-lane proposal. Any reported target dates for the wider project should be treated as projections rather than guaranteed construction dates; schedules for major road projects frequently shift, so check TxDOT and Denton County for current timelines.

Drainage and Road Improvements

The Town of Argyle has also approved a $330,000 contract for drainage improvements on three roadways, addressing long-standing infrastructure needs as the town transitions from a rural community to a suburban one. These improvements are critical for managing stormwater as more impervious surface is added to the area.

Tom Thumb at Harvest Town Center: Now Open

The 63,000-square-foot Tom Thumb at 1046 Market Way opened March 6, 2026. The store includes grocery departments, a pharmacy with drive-through service, an in-store Starbucks kiosk, and pickup services. It serves residents of Harvest, Argyle, Northlake, and nearby communities. Operating hours and services can change, so readers should verify details through Tom Thumb's official location page.

New Restaurants and Dining

Argyle's dining scene has expanded meaningfully over the past year:

• Quandary Kitchen & Market opened in November 2025 in the former Kimzey's Coffee Shop location, offering home-style meals with a ski chalet-inspired atmosphere and an attached market for specialty goods. It remains open and operating.
• One Fusion opened in December 2025 at 8131 Gateway Drive, Suite 500, bringing Indian-fusion cuisine, a fine-dining atmosphere, dance floor, and live entertainment to Argyle. It is open and operating.
• Hurtado Barbecue, the acclaimed "Mexicue" (Tex-Mex and barbecue) brand, has not opened in Argyle yet. Plans changed after an earlier announcement pointed to a location at 421 US 377. The restaurant is now expected to open at the new Argyle Marketplace development along Highway 377 north of FM 407. The opening is projected for spring 2027 and is subject to change, per the Cross Timbers Gazette (August 26, 2026): Hurtado Barbecue lands spot at new Argyle Marketplace, eyes open date.
• Chuy's Tex-Mex is open at 1061 Market Way in the Harvest Town Center, marking southern Denton County's first Chuy's location. Hours and services are listed on the official Chuy's Argyle location page.

Argyle ISD: School Expansion and New Programs

Argyle ISD continues to grow alongside the community. Here is what is happening in the district:

• Scott Gibson Middle School on FM 407 opened for the 2026-27 school year and serves grades 7 and 8. This is a critical addition given the district's enrollment growth. Buyers should verify current attendance zones directly with Argyle ISD because school boundaries can change. See the district's welcome-back message for the 2026-27 school year for the latest updates.
• Argyle Legacy High School, the district's second high school, will transition from the current middle school campus on Hwy 377 in the 2027 to 2028 school year, initially opening with grades 9 to 10. It will serve the eastern attendance zone.
• Attendance zones: Argyle ISD approved new middle and high school attendance zones in December 2024. Students east of Hwy 377 and parts of northern Argyle between Hwy 377 and I-35W are zoned for Argyle Middle School (at the current campus) and eventual Legacy High School. All other students are in the western zone serving Michael Ball Intermediate School, Scott Gibson Middle School, and Argyle High School.
• New high school courses were approved in November 2025 for the 2026 to 2027 school year, expanding academic and elective options for students.
• SOAR Online Learning Pathway is a new online learning option for grades 9 to 12 launching in the 2026 to 2027 school year, providing flexible options for students who thrive in non-traditional settings.

The district's other major 2026 milestone is the new Argyle ISD stadium at Argyle High School, which hosted its first varsity football game on August 28, 2026. For what the facility means to homeowners and buyers across Argyle ISD communities, see Argyle ISD's New Stadium: What It Means for Homeowners and Buyers.

Town Budget and Property Tax Rate

The Town of Argyle adopted a $20.36 million budget for fiscal year 2025 to 2026, which includes funding for road improvements, public safety, and the infrastructure needed to support the town's growth. Notable allocations include $1.75 million for road repairs, $250,000 for the Argyle Nature Trail, and $500,000 for a future police station.

For fiscal year 2025-26, the Town of Argyle adopted a municipal property-tax rate of $0.343100 per $100 of taxable value. This is the Town's rate only. A property's total tax obligation may also include Argyle ISD, Denton County, and applicable special-district assessments. Buyers should verify the complete tax rate for the specific property. See the Town of Argyle's official budget and tax rate documents for the adopted figures.

New Communities and What Buyers Should Know

Beyond the developments within Argyle proper, several nearby communities serve homebuyers in this area. Here is a quick overview of the most active ones, fact-checked as of August 27, 2026. For a broader look at the town, start with the Argyle community page.

• The Ridge at Northlake is served by Argyle ISD. Currently in its final development phases, active builders include Taylor Morrison (selling on 60' and 70' homesites) and David Weekley Homes (selling on 50' lots). The community features a 4-plus-acre amenity center with resort-style and lagoon pools.
• Canyon Falls is not a Hillwood community. Originally developed by Newland Communities and subsequently acquired by Wheelock Street Capital, it is a mature community with select new homes remaining. Current active builders include Chesmar Homes and Windmiller Homes. See the Canyon Falls guide for details.
• Pecan Square is served by Northwest ISD. Floyd Barksdale Middle School opened in August 2026 for the 2026 to 2027 school year and is located near the Pecan Square community. School attendance boundaries, feeder patterns and ratings can change. Buyers should verify current assignments for the specific property directly with the applicable school district before making a purchase decision.
• Wildflower Ranch is located north of Fort Worth along Highway 114 near Justin and Northlake. Developed by Starwood Land (acquired from Hines in April 2025 as part of an $800 million portfolio sale), active builders include Beazer Homes, Bloomfield Homes, Brightland Homes, Highland Homes, Lennar, Toll Brothers, Coventry Homes, William Ryan Homes, UnionMain Homes, and Mattamy Homes. The community is zoned to Northwest ISD.
• Furst Ranch is developed by a Starwood Land affiliate (not Hillwood), after being acquired from Hines in April 2025. Anchored at US 377 and Cross Timbers Road spanning Flower Mound, Argyle, and Bartonville. Announced builders include David Weekley Homes, Coventry Homes, Highland Homes, Shaddock Homes, Drees Homes, Tradition Homes, Partners in Building, and Toll Brothers. The community is in Argyle ISD. H-E-B has also purchased land at the site for a future grocery store.

A note on development and home values: development activity can affect buyer demand, traffic, convenience, taxes, the amount of competing inventory, and resale conditions in a given area. These factors do not guarantee appreciation or a particular sale result for any individual home.

What Argyle Growth Means for Sellers

If you own a home in Argyle or the surrounding area, the new construction activity across nearby communities affects how you position your home. Buyers shopping Argyle today can choose between resale inventory and new construction from active builders with quick move-in homes and incentive offers. Understanding that competitive landscape is key to pricing and marketing your home effectively. Our new construction hub tracks current builder activity across Denton County.

Resale vs. builder inventory: When builders offer rate buydowns, closing cost credits, or upgrade packages on quick move-in homes, buyers compare those offers directly against resale listings. Pricing your home based on recent sold data alone may not account for what buyers can get from a builder down the street. I help sellers evaluate their local competition, including builder incentives and spec inventory, to set a realistic and strategic list price.

Zillow Showcase for eligible listings: For eligible properties, enhanced marketing through Zillow Showcase can improve visibility with buyers actively searching the Argyle area. I review each listing's eligibility and marketing options with my sellers so they can decide what makes sense for their home.

Quick move-ins and incentives: Builders across Denton County are offering incentives on quick move-in and spec homes. Sellers should be aware of what comparable new homes are listed for and what concessions builders are offering, because those are the homes your buyers are comparing yours to. I track current builder inventory and incentives in Argyle and nearby communities so we can position your home accordingly.

Whether you are listing a resale home in an established Argyle neighborhood or a newer home in one of the master-planned communities, I review representation and compensation with sellers and buyers before they visit or register with a builder, so everyone goes in with a clear understanding.

Development activity can shift buyer demand, traffic patterns, convenience, taxes, and the mix of competing inventory in an area. None of these factors guarantees future appreciation or a particular sale result for your home. My goal is to help you price and position based on the market as it exists today, while staying aware of what is planned.
