Southlake / Saddleback Ridge Estates
Saddleback Ridge Estates in Southlake, TX
Saddleback Ridge Estates is a small gated neighborhood in north Southlake, off Bob Jones Road, with custom homes on lots of about an acre. It's for the buyer who wants a gate, land and a newer home, and who doesn't mind a little homework on schools. I love the trees on the north side of Southlake, and here you get them with a newer custom home.

What is it like to live in Saddleback Ridge Estates?
It's small and private, with 32 home sites behind the gate. Recent listings describe mature trees, ponds and wildlife all around, which is exactly what people come to north Southlake for.
When I break Southlake down by region, the north side is about land and privacy: one-acre homesites, mature trees and custom estates. Saddleback Ridge fits that picture.
You're also close to Bob Jones Park and the Bob Jones Nature Center and Preserve. The city says the preserve has more than 20 miles of hiking trails through Cross Timbers habitat. If you love being outside, this is a big deal.
What kind of homes are in Saddleback Ridge Estates?
These are custom homes, and many are new. Several recent listings were built in 2024. The homes I looked at ran from about 5,100 to more than 8,100 square feet, on lots of an acre or a little more.
In the last 24 months (as of November 2026), seven homes sold in Saddleback Ridge for about $3.5 million to $4.89 million. Inventory on the north side is limited, so ask me for today's numbers in Saddleback Ridge.
What schools serve Saddleback Ridge Estates?
Here's what most people don't realize coming from out of state. Recent Saddleback Ridge listings show Northwest ISD, not Carroll ISD. The schools listed are Beck Elementary, Medlin Middle and Byron Nelson High.
Northwest ISD is a good district. If Carroll is your hot button, you can apply through open enrollment because you live in Southlake. Just know you reapply every year, and the buses won't come out to your neighborhood. For some families that's no big deal. For others it's a daily drive they don't want.
Always confirm the zoning for the exact address before you write an offer. I'll check it for every home we look at.
Where is Saddleback Ridge Estates?
It's on the north side of Southlake, off Bob Jones Road just west of White Chapel Boulevard. State Highway 114 is close, which makes getting around Dallas-Fort Worth easier.
The trade-off is that Southlake Town Square isn't as convenient from up here as it is from central Southlake.
Keep in mind, recent listings here show some homes in Tarrant County and some in Denton County. That changes your property tax rate, so I'll pull the exact rate for any home you like, or you can run the numbers with my Dallas-Fort Worth property tax calculator.
Who is Saddleback Ridge Estates a good fit for?
I ask every family one question. Do you want your life to feel connected, or do you want it to feel protected? Saddleback Ridge leans protected, with a gate and an acre around you. It's a good fit if:
- You want a gate and about an acre of land
- You want a newer custom home
- You love trails and being outdoors
- You're fine with Northwest ISD, or with driving to Carroll through open enrollment
Here's the part that not everyone talks about. With only 32 home sites, inventory is limited, and you'll drive a little farther for Town Square.
Nearby neighborhoods to compare
- Crescent Heights, another gated neighborhood with new custom homes
