Country Lakes

What Country Lakes feels like.

Country Lakes is Argyle's more conventional neighborhood — family-scaled streets off FM 407 where the houses sit closer together, the sidewalks connect, and kids actually know each other's garage codes. In a town famous for acre-plus custom estates, that makes it something of an outlier, and a useful one: it's the front door to Argyle for households who want the town without the tractor.

The 407 address earns its keep. That corridor puts groceries, school runs, and both sides of the Metroplex within easy reach — about 28 minutes to DFW Airport and about 34 to downtown Fort Worth or Legacy West in Plano. Daily life leans practical and social: bikes in driveways, neighbors on first-name terms, and weekend schedules organized around Argyle ISD calendars more than anything else.

What homes look like here.

Expect established production-built single-family homes on suburban-scale lots — brick-heavy elevations, two-car garages, and floor plans built for the school-age years. Compared with Argyle's estate neighborhoods, yards here are manageable rather than monumental, which is exactly the appeal for a lot of buyers. This is one of the more attainable ways into Argyle ISD, and resale activity reflects that: family buyers circling the same streets for the same reasons. It suits first-time and move-up households who'd rather spend Saturday at the ballfield than on a zero-turn mower.

The case for Country Lakes.

Is Country Lakes a good place to live?

For families, it's one of the easiest yeses in Argyle. Country Lakes trades the town's signature acreage for connected streets, nearby conveniences along FM 407, and neighbors close enough to borrow from. You give up the big-lot privacy that defines much of Argyle, but you gain a neighborhood that actually functions like one — and a lighter maintenance load.

What school district serves Country Lakes?

Country Lakes sits within Argyle ISD, and for many buyers that's the beginning and end of the search criteria. The district's small size means the schools function as the town's social hub, and neighborhoods like this one feed directly into that rhythm. Confirm current campus assignments with the district for any specific address, since boundaries can shift as the area grows.

Are there new construction homes in Country Lakes?

Country Lakes is an established neighborhood, so most opportunities come through resale rather than builder contracts. That's not a drawback — you can see exactly how the streets have matured, and you skip the construction-zone years. Buyers set on brand-new in the Argyle area usually look at Harvest, the master plan on the town's west side that's now selling its final phase.

How far is Country Lakes from downtown Dallas or Fort Worth?

Figure about 44 minutes to downtown Dallas and about 34 to downtown Fort Worth, with DFW Airport the shortest big commute at about 28 minutes. The FM 407 location makes reaching either side of the region straightforward. As with any North Texas drive, those numbers stretch during peak hours, so it's worth running the route at your real departure time before you commit.
