The Enclave is one of the smallest neighborhoods in Southlake, Texas: roughly ten estate homes on acre-plus lots along Enclave Court, just southeast of Randol Mill Avenue and West Dove Road in the 76092 ZIP code, Tarrant County. Homes were built between about 2006 and 2012 and are exceptionally large even by Southlake standards, with recorded examples at 8,456, 8,487 and 12,031 square feet on lots of 1.02 to 1.08 acres. It is served by Carroll ISD. With only ten homes, this is a market where a single sale sets the tone for years. Nitin Gupta, CRS, GRI, CLHMS, ALHS, Broker Associate with Competitive Edge Realty, represents buyers and sellers here and across Southlake. Call 469-269-6541 or contact Nitin to start with a conversation.

​

Ten homes means there is no such thing as a neighborhood average

​

In a subdivision this size, years can pass between sales, and the homes are not interchangeable: recorded examples range from about 8,400 to more than 12,000 square feet, a difference of nearly 4,000 square feet inside one cul-de-sac. Recent transactions illustrate the spread. A 8,456-square-foot home on just over an acre was listed at $2,650,000 and closed in late 2021. A 12,031-square-foot home on 1.08 acres was listed at $4,250,000 and closed in the same year. A 8,487-square-foot home on 1.07 acres has more recently been offered at $3,296,000.

​

Automated valuations and price per square foot are weak guides at this level. A defensible number combines land value, build quality and condition, and a carefully chosen set of comparable Southlake and Westlake estates, often from outside this subdivision because there simply are not enough sales inside it. For a current read on a specific property, contact Nitin or start with the home value analysis.

​

Taxes at this level are a real line item

Recorded tax figures for homes here run high: about $42,411 in annual taxes on one property and $48,377 in unexempt taxes on another. On a home in this range, that is roughly $3,500 to $4,000 a month before principal, interest, insurance and HOA, and it belongs in the affordability math from the first conversation rather than at closing. Confirm the current assessed value, exemptions and combined rate for the specific address with the Tarrant Appraisal District.

​

The HOA, and a figure worth checking

Listing records show a mandatory association, Southlake Enclave HOA, with dues of $1,200 annually, described as covering management fees, maintenance of common areas and reserves. One listing field shows that same $1,200 expressed as a monthly figure, which appears to be a data entry error rather than a real difference, but it is worth confirming directly, since the two readings differ by more than $13,000 a year.

​

Before making an offer, request the current assessment and billing frequency in writing, what it covers, the architectural guidelines, recent budgets and the reserve position. In a ten-home association, a single major expense divides across ten owners. Read about the Texas HOA resale certificate and what it discloses.

​

Schools: Carroll ISD

Listing records for homes here show Carroll ISD, on the Tarrant County side of Southlake. Carroll runs a multi-campus progression, an elementary campus, then an intermediate campus, then a middle school, then a ninth and tenth grade high school, and finally Carroll Senior High for eleventh and twelfth grade, which surprises buyers relocating from districts with a conventional structure. Confirm the specific assigned campuses for the address with the district before you write an offer. Learn more about Carroll ISD schools and compare districts with the DFW school district ratings guide.

​

What the homes are

These are custom estates rather than production homes, with English and traditional exteriors in brick and stone, gated motor courts, four-car garages, wine cellars, home gyms, guest and in-law suites, pools and outdoor kitchens appearing in listing records. Lots are cul-de-sac and corner positions of about an acre, some heavily treed, with automatic gates and full sprinkler systems. Because each was custom built, materials and finish levels differ from house to house, so ask who built a specific home, what has been modified since, and whether permits were pulled for significant work.

​

What to check on an estate of this size

At 8,000 to 12,000 square feet, every system is duplicated several times over: multiple HVAC units, extensive roof area, long plumbing runs, complex electrical, plus pool, spa and outdoor kitchen equipment. Homes from 2006 to 2012 are now at the point where first replacements come due, and at this scale those costs are substantial enough to belong in the valuation rather than in a surprise the following year. Add foundation performance, windows, irrigation coverage across an acre, drainage and grading, and tree health near the structure. The seller's disclosure covers only what the seller knows, so the inspection period is where the real information comes from. Learn about the Texas option period.

​

Make sure you have the right Enclave

"Enclave" is one of the most reused names in Texas real estate, and it is also used generically in listing copy to describe any small luxury development. There is a separate The Enclave neighborhood in Houston at a very different price point, an Enclave at Willow Bend in Plano, and Southlake and Westlake listings routinely describe unrelated communities as enclaves. Before using any price, school list or sold comparable, confirm it refers to the Enclave Court subdivision in Southlake.

​

Location

The Enclave sits in the heart of Southlake near Randol Mill Avenue and West Dove Road, with Southlake Town Square a short drive for shopping and dining and the entrance to DFW International Airport nearby. Westlake, Grapevine, Colleyville and Trophy Club are all close. Drive your own commute at the hours you would travel before committing.

​

Comparing The Enclave with other Southlake options

Clariden Ranch offers acre-plus lots and custom estates at a comparable price with a different school enrollment picture, and Coventry Manor offers late-1990s estates on large lots with Carroll ISD confirmed at the appraisal district. Carillon and Carillon Parc trade similar money for smaller lots with more shared amenity. Buyers who want acreage or a gated setting often also look at Westlake and Trophy Club. See the DFW communities directory.

​

Selling a home in The Enclave

The buyer pool for an 8,000-plus square foot estate is small, frequently relocating executives or buyers trading within the metroplex, and almost always represented. Marketing has to reach that audience directly rather than rely on portal traffic, and the presentation has to make both the land and the build quality legible. With so few sales inside the subdivision, the comparable set will come largely from comparable Southlake and Westlake estates, and choosing it honestly is most of the pricing work. Expect a longer marketing period than a conventional Southlake listing. See the seller marketing plan and seller services.
