Southlake / Carillon
Carillon in Southlake, TX
Carillon is a newer master-planned neighborhood in north Southlake, and it's the first place I'll show you if you tell me, "I want a newer home and I don't want to remodel." You get fishing ponds, walking trails and homes that run from villas to big estates. The trade-off is a smaller lot, and I'll be upfront with you about that.
Carillon is one of the neighborhoods I tour in my Best Neighborhoods in Southlake video.

What is it like to live in Carillon?
Carillon is a community-friendly neighborhood, and it's popular with younger families. If you want to make friends, this is a great place to start. I love the fishing ponds and the walking trails, and the whole neighborhood is laid out to be walkable and social.
Fun fact: even locals go back and forth on how to say it. Carillon? Caroline? I say Carillon.
Just know that where you are inside Carillon matters. Interior streets that are quieter and closer to the amenities tend to sell for more. Lots on the edge, near busier roads, usually see less demand.
What kind of homes are in Carillon?
Carillon has villa sections, production builder homes and true custom homes, from a large villa up to a 6,000 or 7,000 square foot home. Don't let the word villa fool you. Many villas here are still around 3,500 square feet or more.
The architecture is beautiful. You'll see Mediterranean, French country and good old Texas traditional, all in one planned neighborhood that feels like it belongs together.
Here's the big deal. The median home in Carillon was built in 2015. For most Southlake homes under $2 million, the median build year is 1998. So in Carillon you can find homes built as recently as 2018 that won't need updating. Even the production builder homes here are more energy efficient than a 1998 custom build.
In the last 12 months (as of November 2026), 19 homes sold in Carillon for about $1.15 million to $3.27 million, and most sold between $1.29 and $2.21 million. When they're priced right, homes here often go under contract within two to three weeks, sometimes faster.
Where is Carillon, and how do you get around?
Carillon sits in north Southlake, just north of State Highway 114. Quick access to 114 is a real plus on this side of town. Southlake as a whole is about 15 minutes from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and about 30 minutes from both downtown Dallas and downtown Fort Worth.
Southlake Town Square is a drive from here. That's starting to change, though, with Carillon Parc going up right across the street. Once it's finished, you may be able to walk to restaurants and shops.
Who is Carillon a good fit for?
If newer is your hot button, Carillon is my top pick. It works well for:
- Families relocating to Dallas-Fort Worth who want a move-in ready home, not a remodel
- Younger families who want pools, parks and trails close by
- Empty nesters and frequent travelers who want a lock-and-leave villa
Now listen, here's the part that not everyone talks about. The lots are smaller. At $1.5 to $2 million, most Carillon homes sit on a quarter to a third of an acre. In other Southlake neighborhoods, that same budget can get you a half acre or even three quarters of an acre.
The landscaping is younger than in older parts of Southlake, and it feels more master-planned than a custom estate street. In the villa sections, homes sit closer together, so you trade some privacy for less upkeep.
Nearby neighborhoods to compare
If Carillon is on your list, I'd also look at these:
- Carillon Parc, right across the street, with new villa homes and restaurants and shops on the way.
- Timarron, Southlake's largest master-planned community, if golf, pools and tennis matter more to you than a newer home.
- Estes Park, if you want a bigger lot, often about half an acre, and don't mind a remodel.
- Southlake Meadows, another newer neighborhood with production-built homes.
For the big picture, start with my Southlake guide. I also compare Carillon with five other neighborhoods in The Best Southlake Neighborhoods for a $1.5M to $2M Budget, and show where it fits by price in Breaking Down Southlake's Luxury Market by Price Range.
Frequently asked questions

No. Carillon is not gated. If a gate is high on your list, I'd look at Crescent Heights, Saddleback Ridge Estates or Stony Brook instead.
