Harbor Oaks in Southlake, TX

Harbor Oaks is acreage in northeast Southlake, just south of Lake Grapevine. Lots in recent sales and listings run about 1.6 to 3.1 acres, and one listing called it a quiet equestrian neighborhood with no HOA. The two homes I found in recent listings were built in 1985 and 1990, so plan on updating. If land is your hot button, this one belongs on your list.

What is it like to live in Harbor Oaks?

Harbor Oaks is more country living than most of Southlake. One listing described a quiet equestrian neighborhood with access to horse trails along the lake's edge. Another mentioned views of horses grazing in nearby pastures.

One listing also advertised no HOA. If that holds for the home you want, it cuts both ways. You get more freedom with your own land. You also have less say over what happens next door.

If you've always wanted horse property, check the city rules and the deed restrictions for the exact lot before you buy. I'll help you pull them.

What kind of homes are in Harbor Oaks?

The two homes I found in recent listings were built in 1985 and 1990. That's older than most of Southlake, which was mainly developed in the 90s and early 2000s. Unless a seller already did the work, expect to update.

The homes vary a lot. One 2026 listing was a four-bedroom home of about 3,400 square feet on almost two acres, with RV parking. Another, in 2025, was a remodeled five-bedroom home on 1.6 acres with a pool and a detached barn garage.

With lots this big and homes this different, prices swing a lot. In the last five years (as of November 2026), seven homes sold here for about $1.4 million to $4 million. The top sale, in 2023, was a home on about three acres. Ask me for the latest sales, and I'll walk you through what you're paying for in the house and in the land.

Where is Harbor Oaks, and what schools does it zone to?

Harbor Oaks is in northeast Southlake, just south of Lake Grapevine. Listings put it about two miles from Southlake Town Square and minutes from Meadowmere Park and Highway 114.

Listings here show Carroll ISD. Here's what most people don't realize, though. County appraisal records show a school district line running through a few lots on the edge of Harbor Oaks, and part of one of those lots is in Northwest ISD. So we'll confirm the schools for the exact address before you write an offer.

Because you're close to the lake, we'll also check every home for the flood plain. If a home is in one, I wouldn't buy it unless it's your dream home and you're ready for the insurance.

Who is Harbor Oaks a good fit for?

Harbor Oaks fits you if you want room to spread out, maybe even for horses, and you'd rather have land and freedom than a newer house with neighborhood amenities.

Here's the part not everyone talks about.

• Age. The homes I found are 35 years old or more, so budget for updates.
• Upkeep. Two acres is a lot to mow and maintain.
• Septic. Two listings here showed a septic system instead of city sewer, so we'll have it inspected.
• No uniform look. Without an HOA, homes and lots can look very different from one another. For some people that's the whole appeal. For others it's a deal breaker.

Nearby neighborhoods to compare

If Harbor Oaks is on your list, I'd also look at these:

• Cross Timber Hills, with half-acre to one-acre lots, no HOA and room for your RV.
• Saddleback Ridge, with newer homes on one-acre lots, next to Southlake's equestrian boarding facility and trails.
• Stanhope, a northeast Southlake cul-de-sac with lots of about an acre and homes from the 1990s.
