Timber Lake in Southlake, TX

Timber Lake is a quieter neighborhood in west Southlake for buyers who care about trees, water and walking trails. It feels less "planned" than a lot of Southlake's master-planned communities, and that's exactly the appeal. If privacy and nature are your hot buttons, take a close look.

A quick look at Timber Lake in Southlake.

Timber Lake at a glance

What is it like to live in Timber Lake?

Timber Lake is for the buyer who wants to come home and exhale. It has dense tree coverage and a more organic feel than many Southlake neighborhoods. It's quieter, and it doesn't feel like it came out of a master plan.

The name fits. Recent listings describe community lakes, a greenbelt, walking trails and a community pool. If your idea of a perfect evening is a walk under the trees instead of a busy clubhouse, you'll feel at home here.

Here's a sweet detail. In 2020, a local Boy Scout worked with the City of Southlake and the Timber Lake Homeowners Association on his Eagle Scout project. He installed 911 emergency markers along the walking trail that Timber Lake shares with the Monticello neighborhood, so anyone who gets hurt on the trail can tell first responders exactly where they are. That's the kind of neighborhood detail I love.

Where is Timber Lake in Southlake?

Timber Lake is in west Southlake, the side of the city that borders Keller. I think west Southlake is one of the strongest value opportunities in the Southlake luxury market. My 2026 guide to Southlake by region puts homes in this part of the city at about $900,000 to $2 million and up. In the last 12 months (as of November 2026), 15 homes sold in Timber Lake for about $885,000 to $1.74 million, and most sold between $1.18 and $1.36 million.

Southlake itself sits right smack dab in the middle of Dallas and Fort Worth. You're about 30 minutes from both downtowns, so you get access to all of Dallas-Fort Worth without the chaos of living downtown.

Just know that a Southlake address doesn't automatically mean Carroll ISD. Recent Timber Lake listings show Carroll ISD schools, but always confirm the zoning for the exact home before you write an offer.

Who is Timber Lake a good fit for?

• Buyers who would rather have trees, water and trails than a big amenity center
• People who want a quieter street and more privacy
• Buyers with a $1 million to $1.5 million budget who still want a Southlake address

Here's the part that not everyone talks about. If you want golf, a country club and a full social calendar, Timarron fits that better. If a newer home is your top priority, look at Carillon. And in the $1 million to $1.5 million range in Southlake, most homes were built in the 1990s and many need updates, so plan your budget with that in mind.

Nearby neighborhoods to compare

• South Ridge Lakes, also in west Southlake, with larger lots and water features
• Stone Lakes, also in west Southlake, with trails, tennis and community pools
• Timarron for golf, amenities and a busier social life
• Carillon if you want a newer home
