Small-town charm,
big-city access.
Northlake sits at the crossroads of rural Denton County heritage and modern suburban growth. With a population that has grown over 900% since 2000, now approaching 10,000 residents, the town has become one of the most dynamic markets in the DFW metroplex without losing the wide-open views, equestrian character, and sense of space that define it.
What draws buyers here is the combination: master-planned communities with resort-level amenities, schools within walking distance of many sections, and quick access to DFW Airport and the Alliance employment center via the 35W corridor. It's a place where households can put down roots in a genuine community, not just a subdivision, with the room to breathe that North Texas is known for.

Many schools are located within or adjacent to the area's master-planned communities: Johnie R. Daniel Elementary serves Pecan Square households, and Floyd Barksdale Middle School opened for the 2026-27 school year near Pecan Square.

Communities designed
for the way you live.
Northlake and the surrounding Argyle area are home to some of Denton County's largest master-planned communities. Each one offers a distinct lifestyle, from Pecan Square's village-center model to Harvest's working farm and Canyon Falls' dramatic canyon terrain, and the Harvest, Pecan Square, and Canyon Falls comparison walks through how the three stack up.

A community can carry a Northlake identity in its marketing while its homes sit in Argyle, Flower Mound, or unincorporated Denton County.
