After 23 years in the Flower Mound and Lantana area, Elizabeth made the move to Argyle five years ago — and it’s given our team a genuine, current understanding of how this corner of Denton County is changing. This was slower-paced country not long ago. It’s picking up real speed now, and it’s been growing steadily for several years, without losing the wide-open, ranch-country character that drew a lot of us here in the first place.
We help homebuyers and homeowners throughout Argyle, Northlake, and Justin understand what financing looks like in a market that’s shifting from rural to residential in real time.
Why Local Planning Matters Here
This is a corridor in transition, and that changes the financing conversation. New master-planned communities are bringing buyers who look a lot like the ones in Flower Mound or Southlake, while long-established ranch and acreage properties still define much of the landscape. A lender who only understands one side of that — new construction or country property, but not both — isn’t going to serve you as well as one who’s watched this exact shift happen firsthand.
Argyle
Argyle still feels like horse country in a lot of places — large ranch properties and acreage lots remain a real part of the landscape here, even as new development moves in around them. Liberty Christian School calls Argyle home, and Argyle High School has built a stellar football program that’s become a genuine point of local pride. The high school itself sits within Canyon Falls, a large master-planned community on Argyle’s southern edge and one of the most established in the area.
Argyle’s growth extends well beyond Canyon Falls. Country Lakes — a 640-acre community built around a network of walking trails — is another well-established neighborhood in town. Argyle Landing adds roughly 220 more acres of newer development, and Furst Ranch, still in its early development phase, is planned to include a 97-acre central park once complete. Hillwood has also announced a future master-planned community in Argyle that hasn’t broken ground yet, meaning there’s still more growth coming. Across all of this, home prices in Argyle range from the mid-$400s well into multi-million-dollar territory, particularly among the town’s larger ranch and estate properties.
For golfers and those looking for an elevated lifestyle, Argyle offers two standout private clubs: Argyle Country Club, known for beautiful greens and rolling hills, and Robson Ranch — an over-55 active adult community with its own spectacular golf course and a clubhouse dining room where you can watch a long, unhurried Texas sunset most evenings. Argyle also sits in a genuinely convenient spot — quick access south to Texas Motor Speedway, and north to UNT and TWU in Denton.
Northlake
Northlake has become home to two of the standout master-planned communities in this entire corridor: Pecan Square and Harvest. Pecan Square is built around an actual town square at its center, where a coffee shop anchors a genuine gathering spot, alongside pickleball courts, shuffleboard in a large barn, and one of the more impressive dog parks you’ll find in a North Texas neighborhood — amenities that helped earn it National Community of the Year in 2025 from the National Association of Home Builders. Harvest, a 1,200-acre community, has been named Community of the Year three times by the Dallas Builders Association and has earned a reputation as one of the area’s original “agrihoods,” with amenities that include a working community garden where residents grow their own vegetables.
Northlake’s retail district is still small and quaint, but it’s growing right alongside the residential side of the community.
Justin
Justin rounds out this corridor with a quieter, more small-town feel, sitting just west of the fastest-growing pockets of Northlake and Argyle. It’s part of the same broader growth story as its neighbors, offering a slightly more understated alternative for buyers drawn to the area’s character without the newer master-planned amenities of Pecan Square or Harvest.
Home Values & Growth
Home prices across this corridor start in the mid-$400s and range into the multi-millions on Argyle’s larger ranch and estate properties — this remains one of the more dynamic pockets of North Texas, with new residential development steadily filling in around the area’s ranch-country roots.
Loan Programs Buyers in This Area Use Most
Conventional Loans — the standard path for most new construction and resale purchases across Pecan Square, Harvest, and the broader corridor.
Self-Employed & Non-QM Loans — common among ranch owners, agricultural property owners, and business owners throughout Argyle.
DSCR Loans — a natural fit given the build-to-rent activity that’s continued to grow throughout this Argyle-Northlake corridor.
Texas Cash-Out Refinance — relevant for longtime acreage and ranch property owners looking to put built-up equity to work as the area develops around them.
