Adams Addition in Southlake, TX

Adams Addition is a small gated neighborhood on Adams Lane in Southlake, with large custom homes on lots of about an acre. The two recent sales I reviewed were built in 2001 and 2002, and they're big homes. If you want land and a lot of house right next to Timarron, it's one to know about. Just be ready to wait for the right one.

Adams Addition at a glance

What is it like to live in Adams Addition?

Adams Addition is one lane of homes, not a big master-planned community. What you get is an acre of your own and room to do something with it.

One home here that sold had a pool and spa, a built-in grill and its own lit tennis and pickleball court. That's the kind of backyard an acre makes possible, and that kind of space and privacy is increasingly rare in Dallas-Fort Worth.

What are the homes like in Adams Addition?

These are custom homes on about an acre. The two recent sales I looked at were about 6,700 and 9,500 square feet, built in 2002 and 2001. One was described as a custom transitional home. The other had been fully remodeled.

Homes here rarely sell. Only four have sold in the last five years (as of November 2026): one in 2022 for about $2.2 million, two in early 2024 for about $2.45 million and $2.85 million, and one later in 2024 for about $4.65 million. That top sale was the fully remodeled home with its own tennis court, which helps explain why it sits so far above the others.

Here's why the build year matters. Much of Southlake was built in the 1990s and early 2000s, so a big part of the city is in a prime renovation window right now. One of the two homes I looked at had already been fully remodeled. If you find one that hasn't been updated, an older home on an acre in a good location is often where you can create real value.

Where is Adams Addition, and what schools does it zone to?

Adams Lane runs off Continental Boulevard, just east of South White Chapel Boulevard, on the south side of Southlake. Timarron is just to the south, and Southlake Town Square is a short drive away.

Listings on Adams Lane show Carroll ISD, with Rockenbaugh Elementary and Dawson Middle. Not every Southlake address zones to Carroll, though, so always confirm the schools for the exact address before you buy.

Who is Adams Addition a good fit for?

Adams Addition makes the most sense if you:

• Want a large custom home on about an acre.
• Like the idea of a single street more than a big master-planned community.
• Are open to an early 2000s home, whether it's already updated or ready for your own touches.

Here's the part that not everyone talks about.

• Inventory. It's one street, so homes don't come up often. Now listen, I don't want you to fall in love with one street and then wait three years for a home, so I'll show you a few like it at the same time.
• Upkeep. An acre is wonderful. It's also a lot of yard.
• Amenities. If you want a community with pools, trails and a golf course, take a look at Timarron right next door.
• Age. Even a remodeled 2001 home has some age on it, so we'll look closely at the roof, the systems and what's behind the walls.

Nearby neighborhoods to compare

• Timarron, just to the south, with a golf course, a country club and two amenity centers.
• Oxford Place, one street of newer custom homes on lots of about an acre, off East Highland Street.
• Laurelwood Park, essentially one street of estate homes on about an acre in north Southlake.
• Hawkwood, a very small custom-home neighborhood on South Peytonville Avenue, with lots averaging about three quarters of an acre.
