Community Snapshot

Timber Lake Estates is one of Southlake's most established and sought-after neighborhoods — a master-planned community of over 300 custom homes built between 1990 and 2000. The community is anchored by mature trees, generous lot sizes (0.3 to over half an acre), and a distinctive "lazy 8" street pattern that winds gently between Southlake Boulevard on the north and Continental Boulevard on the south, creating a quiet, walkable character that feels worlds apart from the energy of nearby Southlake Town Square.

Zoned to Carroll ISD — the #1 ranked public school district in the entire state of Texas — Timber Lake Estates delivers the combination of location, lot scale, school quality, and established character that defines Southlake's reputation. With DFW Airport just 15 minutes away and Town Square shopping and dining within a 5-minute drive, this is a community built for families and professionals who want both convenience and substance.

Home Character & Features

Timber Lake's custom-built homes reflect the era's emphasis on craftsmanship, space, and individuality. No two homes are identical. Many feature vaulted ceilings, multiple living areas, split bedroom arrangements, formal dining rooms, and large backyards with private pools and outdoor kitchens. Because the homes are 25–35 years old, many homeowners have invested in significant renovations — updated kitchens with Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Miele appliances, quartzite and quartz countertops, hand-scraped hardwoods, renovated primary baths, and pool upgrades are common throughout the neighborhood.

Community Amenities

Timber Lake's amenities are thoughtfully woven into the community's natural landscape. The northern entrance off Southlake Boulevard welcomes residents with a decorative pond, tennis and pickleball courts, a playground, and greenbelt space. The southern end features a large catch-and-release fishing pond surrounded by lush greenbelt and walking trails — a rare amenity for a Southlake neighborhood and a favorite spot for families and anglers alike. The community pool anchors the social life of the neighborhood throughout summer months.

Why Timber Lake Estates

Timber Lake Estates occupies a sweet spot in the Southlake market: it delivers the custom construction, oversized lots, and top-tier school quality that define Southlake's identity, at price points well below the city's ultra-luxury communities like Vaquero, Terra Bella, and Clariden Ranch. For buyers seeking Carroll ISD quality with authentic neighborhood character — not gated exclusivity — Timber Lake is one of the strongest established options in the market.

The community's renovation trajectory also creates opportunity. As homeowners continue upgrading interiors to contemporary standards, Timber Lake homes increasingly offer the modern finishes of new construction on the oversized lots and mature landscaping that simply don't exist in newer Southlake developments. With Southlake's buildable land inventory continuing to shrink, established communities like Timber Lake become more — not less — valuable over time.

Southlake Market Context

Southlake consistently ranks among the wealthiest and most desirable cities in America, recognized by Forbes, TIME, and MSN. The city's identity is built on three pillars: Carroll ISD's academic excellence, Southlake Town Square's lifestyle appeal, and a family-oriented community culture that attracts executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals from across the country. With limited buildable land remaining, Southlake's established neighborhoods like Timber Lake are increasingly the entry point for buyers who want the full Southlake experience at attainable price points.
