# What Does Your Budget Buy in Southlake, TX?

Rob Poulton, Rob Poulton, eXp Realty, eXp Realty, License 846287, rob@lonewolfrealtygroup.com

**Quick Answer:** In Southlake, $400K–$450K buys a 3-bed starter in older 76092. $500K–$650K is the sweet spot, 4-bed, 2,400+ sq ft homes in Carillon Estates, Westwyck Hills, or Versailles. $700K–$1M opens up Timarron and Carillon Estates. Above $1.2M, you're in custom estates or premium golf-course lots.

## $350K to $450K: Entry Southlake

At this tier, buyers typically look at 3-bed homes in the 1,400–1,900 sq ft range, often in established 76092 sections like Shady Oaks, Westwyck Hills, or older Versailles. Homes are 20–30 years old; condition varies. There is essentially no new construction in Southlake at this price.

## $450K to $650K: The Southlake Sweet Spot

This is where Southlake's value proposition is clearest. Buyers consistently find 4-bed, 2.5-bath homes in the 2,200–2,800 sq ft range. Communities include Carillon Estates, Westwyck Hills, Versailles, Versailles, and the lower end of Shady Oaks. For relocation buyers from California or the Northeast, this tier consistently produces genuine astonishment.

## $650K to $1M: Premium Southlake

Above $650K, buyers access Timarron, the upper sections of Shady Oaks and Westwyck Hills, and parts of Carillon Estates. Expect 2,800–3,800 sq ft, updated kitchens, larger lots, dedicated office or game room, and outdoor living. Pool homes become common.

## $1M+: Estate Tier

At $1M and above, buyers move into Carillon Estates's premium lots, Timarron golf-course frontage, and custom builds in Lost Creek Ranch, The Reserve at Watters, and Versailles. For acreage-style estates, neighboring Westlake, Bertram, and Burnet (Westlake ISD) typically deliver more land per dollar than staying inside Southlake city limits.
