In Southlake, Enjoy Sophisticated, Small-Town Living Just Minutes from Dallas-Fort Worth
Once a rural area settled by pioneers, Southlake experienced an exciting boom from the 1980s through the 2000s as a result of its close proximity to DFW International Airport. And while the City today offers plenty of residential communities and commercial developments, it hasn’t lost its quaint and neighborly feel. A perfect respite from the frenzied pace of Dallas/Fort Worth, for small-town living with big time amenities, Southlake is the place to be…and Discovery Village is right there in the center of it all!
Here, nature lovers will delight in Southlake’s abundant parks and beautiful greenspace, which offer plentiful walking and biking trails, as well as scenic nature preserves. And for relaxation and watersports, nearby Lake Grapevine always delivers.
In addition, the sprawling, yet very walkable Southlake Town Square offers upscale shopping and dining experiences, and neighboring Grapevine’s historic downtown area is a must-see for its distinctive mix of locally-owned shops and wine tasting rooms. Plus, head a few minutes west and explore, an urban oasis mixing residential living, shopping and dining in a beautiful setting.
Indeed, life in and around Southlake is vibrant and rich, but lest you forget that both Dallas and Fort Worth are at your doorstep! And that means that from amazing arts, culture and lifestyle destinations—everything from the famous Fort Worth Stockyards to AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys—Southlake is just a short ride from virtually everything the Metroplex has to offer.
For seniors and families alike, Southlake makes a superb home base, and given the endless leisure and entertainment options available right there—not to mention throughout the Dallas and Fort Worth areas—the only real challenge is choosing just one thing to do next!
