City Profile

Incorporated in 1956, the City of Southlake has developed a reputation for excellence in all facets of life and business.
From master-planned neighborhoods and exemplary public schools to nationally renowned businesses and award-
winning mixed-use developments, Southlake has become synonymous with first-class development and quality of life.
Southlake has consistently been ranked as one of the best places to live by D Magazine and Fort Worth Magazine. The
Dallas Business Journal reported on a 2012 quality of life study by On Numbers in which Southlake was listed as the
top DFW city and third among 1,145 cities throughout the southern United States. In 2015, the Dallas Morning News
reported Southlake as one of the top ten Best Neighborhoods in DFW.

Southlake is predominantly served by Carroll ISD, consistently rated for excellence in academics by the Texas Education
Agency. Enrollment at the school’s 11 campuses is just under 8,000 students – 99 percent of which will enroll in
college. Equally exceptional in athletics and extra-curricular activities, the Southlake Carroll Dragons have gained a
national reputation for all-around excellence.
