Communities Families Commonly Compare
Nine communities families often compare. Here is what each one offers a sports family.
The communities below are the ones families commonly consider when they use the StarCenter, listed in approximate order of driving distance from 13850 Chadwick Parkway. That order is a rough starting point, not a precise or guaranteed sequence, and it is not a ranking: every area here is a fit for some families and a poor fit for others. Schools matter first, and assignments are address-specific and change with attendance boundaries, so confirm the exact property with the district before you commit. Drive times below are round, rough estimates for typical traffic only; actual time depends on the specific home, the exact training location, and traffic and construction conditions, so verify your own route on a map at the times you would actually travel.
Northlake
Closest to the StarCenter
The StarCenter is in Northlake, so this is the obvious starting point. Newer master-planned communities such as Pecan Square, Harvest, Canyon Falls and The Ridge at Northlake dominate the housing stock, most of it new construction with pools, trails and clubhouses. Northwest ISD serves much of Northlake by address, with some sections assigned to Argyle ISD, so campus assignment depends on the exact home. Most Northlake neighborhoods are roughly a 5 to 15 minute drive from the facility, an estimate to verify on a map for your specific route.
Start with the Moving to Northlake guide and the Northlake city guide.
Roanoke
Roanoke sits east of Northlake along the Highway 114 corridor and pairs an established small-town feel with the historic Oak Street dining district that families love for team dinners. Northwest ISD serves Roanoke by address. Housing mixes established neighborhoods with newer construction along the 114 corridor, and the commute to the StarCenter runs roughly 10 to 20 minutes depending on where in town you start, an estimate to verify on a map. The Roanoke city guide covers neighborhoods and the tax-and-school details that vary by address.
Trophy Club
Trophy Club is the golf-course community on the map, straddling Denton and Tarrant counties with landscaped medians, parkland and a country-club lifestyle. Most of the town is served by Northwest ISD by address, including the Byron Nelson High School attendance area, while properties near the edges can fall in Keller ISD or Carroll ISD lines, so confirm the exact home. New construction inside town is limited, which is why families who want Trophy Club's feel often pair it with newer homes just across the line in neighboring Roanoke or Keller. Expect roughly 15 to 25 minutes to the StarCenter, an estimate to verify on a map.
Keller
Keller is an established suburb served by Keller ISD, with mature tree-lined neighborhoods and a wider range of price points than the towns immediately around the StarCenter. Newer construction appears in pockets on Keller's edges, giving sports families a resale-versus-new comparison without leaving the corridor. The drive to the StarCenter is roughly 20 to 30 minutes through mixed traffic, an estimate to verify on a map.
Roughly 20 to 30 minutes south on Highway 114, more at peak hours
Southlake
Southlake offers an established, mature residential base and most of the city is served by Carroll ISD by address, the district behind the Southlake Carroll athletics programs that regularly draw national attention. The trade-off relative to the corridor is new construction: finished in-town inventory is limited, so buyers who want Southlake's schools and social scene with a brand-new home typically compare new construction in neighboring Trophy Club or Keller, or the active master-planned communities in Argyle and Northlake. Confirm campus assignment for the exact address, since a small portion of Southlake falls outside Carroll ISD lines. Plan on roughly 20 to 30 minutes by car to the StarCenter, often more at peak hours, an estimate whose exact time depends on your specific address and route and should be verified on a map. See the Southlake city guide for the full picture.
Argyle
Argyle keeps the semi-rural, equestrian character that draws families who want land and quiet without abandoning the corridor. Argyle ISD serves the town by address, and housing runs from ranch-style acreage to newer neighborhoods and master-planned communities. The drive to the StarCenter is roughly 15 to 25 minutes via FM 407, an estimate to verify on a map. See the Argyle city guide for neighborhood and school details by address.
Lantana
Lantana is the master-planned option on the Denton side of the map, an unincorporated community with pools, trails and a clubhouse-centered lifestyle between Argyle, Justin and Denton. Most Lantana addresses fall in Denton ISD, in the Guyer High School attendance area, with a few edge properties in other districts, so verify by address. Homes are a mix of resale and active sales across several builders, and the drive to the StarCenter runs roughly 20 to 30 minutes, an estimate to verify on a map.
Justin
Justin is the small-town pick on the map, sitting north of Northlake along US 377 with Northwest ISD schools by address. Established homes sit alongside newer master-planned communities such as Treeline, and the general pace is a little quieter with more land per home than corridors closer to the airport. The drive to the StarCenter is roughly 15 to 25 minutes, an estimate to verify on a map. The Justin city guide covers the community-by-community differences.
Flower Mound
Flower Mound rounds out the map as the lake-living option, an established town between Grapevine Lake and Lewisville Lake with mature neighborhoods, mature trees and strong community parks. Lewisville ISD serves most of the town by address, with portions near the western edge in Argyle ISD or Northwest ISD, so confirm the exact home. Resale dominates, with newer sections appearing toward the Argyle and Bartonville boundary. It is the longest drive of the nine, roughly 25 to 35 minutes to the StarCenter, an estimate to verify on a map. See the Flower Mound city guide.
