GCISD · Tarrant County · North Texas
Larger lots, deeper privacy, and ten-minute access to DFW Airport — in one of North Texas's most intentionally residential communities.
Colleyville occupies a distinctive position in the North Texas luxury landscape. While Southlake draws attention for Carroll ISD and Town Square, and Westlake for Vaquero and its extreme exclusivity, Colleyville offers something neither can — estate-scale lots with genuine privacy, mature tree canopies, and a community that has remained intentionally residential with no major commercial corridors, no big-box retail, and minimal through-traffic.
With approximately 27,000 residents and a median home price of $700,000–$900,000, Colleyville attracts executive families and frequent business travelers who want established luxury in a quiet setting. The city's defining advantage for professionals is proximity: DFW International Airport is roughly ten minutes away — the closest of any premium suburb in North Texas, saving frequent travelers 20 to 40 minutes per trip compared to Frisco, Plano, or McKinney.
Pelt Custom Homes builds estate-scale residences in Colleyville for clients who prioritize space, craftsmanship, and a builder who shows up personally — not through intermediaries.
Colleyville at a Glance
Where We Build
Colleyville's neighborhoods range from gated estate communities with guard houses to equestrian-friendly properties on multi-acre parcels. Each offers a different balance of privacy, architecture, and lifestyle — and each comes with its own building requirements.

Custom lots availableWhat to Know
Colleyville is approaching build-out, but unlike Southlake — where large-tract development has largely ended — Colleyville still offers pockets of genuine custom building opportunity. New developments like Holt Farms, Park Hill, The Bluffs, and Foreman's Landing provide boutique settings with half-acre to multi-acre lots. Infill teardown-and-rebuild opportunities in established neighborhoods add further inventory for buyers who want to build new on a mature, tree-lined lot.
The city's zoning has historically protected large lot sizes — a differentiator in a North Texas market where suburban density is increasing rapidly. Equestrian properties on two to ten or more acres remain available, a feature almost unique to Colleyville among premium Tarrant County suburbs.
Architecturally, Colleyville homes span traditional, Mediterranean, French-inspired, transitional, and contemporary styles. Many feature resort-caliber outdoor living spaces, wine rooms, sport courts, guest houses, and smart home technology. The community's design flexibility — less prescriptive than Westlake or some Southlake neighborhoods — gives clients more latitude to realize a distinctive architectural vision.
Property tax rates in Colleyville are competitive at 2.1%–2.3%, and most established neighborhoods carry no MUD or PID assessments — a meaningful advantage over newer DFW communities in Collin and Denton counties.
The Colleyville Lifestyle
Grapevine-Colleyville ISD is the educational anchor. GCISD holds an A rating from Niche, with 11 National Blue Ribbon Schools across the district. Colleyville Heritage High School is consistently ranked among the top public high schools in Tarrant County, with strong Advanced Placement programs, competitive athletics, and exceptional college placement. For academically advanced students, the E.A. Young Academy for Gifted and Talented Scholars offers a K–12 option ranked in the top five in the county.
Colleyville's character is defined by what it chose not to build. There are no major commercial corridors. No entertainment districts. The city's residential zoning is deliberate — and it produces a quieter, more private living environment than Southlake or most DFW suburbs. The Colleyville Nature Center, extensive trail systems, and community parks provide outdoor recreation without the density that comes with commercial development.
For buyers comparing Colleyville to Southlake, the trade-off is clear: Colleyville offers more space, more privacy, and a lower price point per square foot — but trades Carroll ISD's top-five ranking for GCISD's strong-but-not-elite positioning. Families who prioritize lot size, seclusion, and airport proximity choose Colleyville. Families who prioritize school prestige and walkable retail choose Southlake. Both communities deliver estate-scale living at the highest level.
Our Approach
Colleyville's lot diversity — from half-acre infill sites to multi-acre equestrian tracts — demands a builder who can adapt. Foundation engineering for a wooded half-acre lot in Brook Meadows is fundamentally different from site preparation for a two-acre tract in Holt Farms. We evaluate every lot with our clients and build a plan that matches the site, the architecture, and the budget.
We accept no more than four projects per year across all our markets. When we take a Colleyville project, it receives the same builder-led attention as our Southlake and Westlake builds — the same direct communication, the same material standards, the same accountability from first conversation to final walk-through.
