Stony Brook in Southlake, TX

Stony Brook is a gated neighborhood on the west side of Southlake, with 47 homesites set around ponds, trails and green space. It's for the family that wants a gate and a newer home with a Southlake address. Just know the listings show Keller ISD, not Carroll ISD, and for some families that's the whole decision.

What is it like to live in Stony Brook?

Stony Brook is built around privacy. You come in through a gate, and inside you've got ponds, brooks, walking trails and open green space, plus an outdoor pavilion.

I ask every family one question. Do you want your life to feel connected, or do you want it to feel protected? Most of Southlake leans connected. Stony Brook gives you a little more protection without giving up a Southlake address.

With 47 homesites, it's small. The amenities listed for Stony Brook are outdoor ones, and I haven't seen a community pool or tennis courts on that list. If those are your hot button, Stone Lakes is also in West Southlake and has both.

What are the homes like in Stony Brook?

Stony Brook is newer than most of Southlake. Holmes Builders has built here, and as of July 2026, SCH Homes had a few lots listed to build on.

Those lots were right around half an acre, with a minimum of 3,000 square feet for a new home. The builder offered its own plans or a custom design from the ground up.

In the last 24 months (as of November 2026), six homes sold in Stony Brook for about $2.7 million to $4.15 million. Five of the six sold for $3.25 million or less, and the top sale was a larger, brand-new home. The homes that sold were built from 2020 to 2025.

Southlake is almost all built out, so there aren't many places left where you can build new. A lot of luxury homes and lots in Southlake sell off market, and not every builder puts its lots on the MLS. If building is your hot button, ask me what's really available here.

Where is Stony Brook, and what schools does it zone to?

Stony Brook is on the west side of Southlake. The entrance is off West Southlake Boulevard, near Davis Boulevard. In my post on Southlake neighborhoods by region, I describe West Southlake as the part of town that borders Keller.

Here's what most people don't realize coming from out of state. A Southlake address doesn't automatically mean Carroll ISD. Listings for Stony Brook show Keller ISD, with Florence Elementary. Keller is a great district too.

If Carroll is your hot button, you can apply to Carroll through open enrollment. You have to reapply every year, though, 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 zoning for the exact address before you buy.

Who is Stony Brook a good fit for?

Stony Brook makes the most sense if you:

• Want a gate without leaving Southlake.
• Want a newer home, or want to build one.
• Are happy with Keller ISD, or don't mind driving to Carroll ISD every day through open enrollment.

Here's the part that not everyone talks about.

• Schools. If Carroll ISD zoning is non-negotiable for you, Stony Brook probably isn't your neighborhood.
• HOA dues. Gated neighborhoods cost more. In my Southlake video, I said to expect about $2,000 to $5,000 a year for a gated HOA, and one new-home site lists Stony Brook's dues at $3,500 and up.
• Inventory. With 47 homesites, there won't be many homes for sale at one time.
• Location. You're on the west side of town, so Southlake Town Square is a drive, not a walk.

Nearby neighborhoods to compare

If Stony Brook is on your list, I'd compare it with these:

• Crescent Heights, another gated Southlake neighborhood.
• Saddleback Ridge Estates, also gated.
• Stone Lakes, also in West Southlake, with lakes, trails, tennis courts and a community pool, and no gate.
• Timber Lake, also in West Southlake, if you want dense trees and a quieter, less planned feel.
