Southlake, Texas

Why Southlake?

Let's be honest — Southlake is the address in North Texas. When corporate executives relocate to DFW, Southlake is usually the first city they tour. And for good reason. Carroll ISD is one of the top-performing school districts in the entire state, Southlake Town Square offers upscale shopping and dining that rivals anything in Dallas, and the homes here range from stunning to jaw-dropping.

But Southlake isn't just about flash. It's a community where Friday night football at Dragon Stadium packs the stands, where neighbors actually gather at the Town Square fountain on weekends, and where the trails along Bob Jones Nature Center connect families to genuinely beautiful green space. Karen has helped buyers navigate the Southlake market for years — she knows which streets carry the highest resale value, which builders cut corners, and which pockets still offer relative value in a market where "affordable" starts north of $700K.

Elementary Schools

Carroll ISD operates seven elementary campuses — Carroll, Durham, Eubanks, Johnson, Old Union, Rockenbaugh, and Walnut Grove — each maintaining small class sizes and high academic standards. The district consistently earns "A" ratings from the Texas Education Agency.

Carroll Middle School & Dawson Middle School

Both middle schools offer advanced academic programs, competitive athletics, and fine arts that prepare students for the rigors of Carroll Senior High School.

Carroll Senior High School

Dragon Stadium isn't just for football — CSHS offers nationally recognized AP programs, award-winning fine arts, and a college placement rate that puts many private schools to shame. The school regularly produces National Merit Scholars and sends graduates to the top universities in the country.
