Northlake Communities Cross City and District Lines

Northlake's large communities do not stay neatly inside one town or one school district. Canyon Falls spans more than 1,200 acres across Northlake, Argyle and Flower Mound, and Harvest is shared between Northlake and Argyle. Homes in these communities can carry Northlake, Argyle or Justin mailing addresses, and the same community can feed different school districts depending on the section. Confirm the town, the school district and the taxing entities, including any MUD or PID, for any specific home before making an offer.

​

Location and Commute

Northlake sits along I-35W between Denton to the north and the Alliance corridor and Fort Worth to the south, with FM 407 running east toward Argyle, Flower Mound and I-35E. The AllianceTexas business park is a short drive south, and SH 114 connects toward Roanoke, Southlake and DFW Airport.

​

Schools: Northwest ISD and Argyle ISD

Most of Northlake is served by Northwest ISD. Some areas near the Argyle border, including parts of Canyon Falls and Harvest, are zoned to Argyle ISD instead. In Canyon Falls, homes in the western portion generally attend Northwest ISD schools while homes on the east side are generally zoned to Argyle ISD. Confirm the district and campuses for any specific address before making an offer. Compare districts with the DFW school district ratings guide.

Northlake Home Prices

HAR.com reported an average listing price of about $759,000 in Northlake in August 2026, a figure pulled upward by larger homes and estate lots. Newer production homes in the master-planned communities list well below that average, while larger-lot and custom homes list above it. Because many communities carry MUD or PID assessments, compare the full property tax picture for each home rather than list price alone. For a current read on a specific home, use the home value analysis or contact Nitin.
