Skip Colleyville: Discover Northlake, Lantana, and Haslet Instead

Thinking about moving to the Dallas–Fort Worth area? Many buyers start their home search in Colleyville, Texas—a popular city with strong schools, luxury homes, and a reputation for charm. But here’s the truth: Colleyville’s high prices and limited inventory mean it isn’t the only option. If you’re looking for more space, newer homes, and communities that fit your lifestyle without sacrificing convenience, it’s time to look just east of Alliance.

As Cathy Carter, REALTOR® and Broker/Founder of Carter Signature Properties, I’ve helped countless families find their perfect fit in North Texas. Let me introduce you to three incredible alternatives to Colleyville: Northlake, Lantana, and Haslet. Each has its own personality, price point, and perks—offering you a true Signature Experience.

Northlake, Texas: Wide-Open Living Meets Modern Comfort

Northlake is quickly becoming a relocation hotspot. With its wide-open skies, new master-planned communities, and easy access to Alliance jobs, it’s a blend of peaceful living and modern convenience. Buyers love the brand-new construction options, family-friendly amenities, and proximity to dining and shopping in Roanoke—the “Unique Dining Capital of Texas.” If Colleyville feels crowded, Northlake gives you breathing room without losing connection.

Lantana, Texas: A Master-Planned Gem with Resort-Style Amenities

Lantana is a community built for lifestyle. Centered around a stunning golf course, it offers trails, parks, pools, and highly-rated schools. Families choose Lantana for its strong sense of community, resort-style amenities, and spacious homes that rival those in Colleyville—often at a better value. Whether you’re after a move-up home or looking to relocate for schools and amenities, Lantana delivers a balance of luxury and everyday comfort.

Haslet, Texas: Small-Town Charm with Big Appeal

Haslet, particularly new communities like Sweetgrass, is where small-town charm meets modern design. Think scenic ponds, hiking and biking trails, and beautiful new construction homes within Northwest ISD. Haslet offers a slower pace with quick access to Fort Worth and Alliance business hubs, making it a hidden gem for families and professionals who want space to grow without Colleyville’s price tag.

Which Community is Right for You?

Choosing between Colleyville and its neighbors doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By exploring Northlake, Lantana, and Haslet, you’ll find communities that match your lifestyle, budget, and long-term goals. From wide-open spaces to golf-course luxury and small-town charm, each area offers something unique—and each keeps you close to the heart of North Texas.
