Welcome to Colleyville, Texas

Colleyville is one of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex's most beloved and quietly distinguished communities — a place where generous lots, mature tree canopies and a genuine small-town spirit coexist with luxury living and exceptional convenience. Situated in Tarrant County between Southlake and Grapevine, Colleyville has grown from its 19th-century farming roots into one of the most desirable addresses in North Texas. It's a city that rewards those who find it — peaceful, polished and deeply proud of what it has become.


What to Love

Colleyville earns loyalty for the things that are hardest to replicate.

  • Unmatched proximity to DFW International Airport — just 10 minutes away
  • Tree-lined streets and a landscape that still feels unhurried and unhurried
  • Safe, well-maintained neighborhoods with a strong sense of civic pride

Local Lifestyle in Colleyville

Life in Colleyville moves at a pace that feels earned. Residents gravitate toward community events, outdoor recreation, local farmers markets and the kind of neighborhood gatherings that have largely disappeared from faster-growing suburbs.

The community draws families, executives and long-term residents who value space, safety and connection — people who want to put down roots somewhere that still feels like home.

History & Culture

Colleyville's story begins in 1847. The city takes its name from Dr. Lilburn Howard Colley, an early resident, physician and Civil War veteran who helped shape the young community. From its agricultural beginnings — bolstered by the Cotton Belt railway that once passed through — Colleyville grew steadily and thoughtfully into the refined suburban city it is today.

Cultural hallmarks include:

  • A strong identity built around community, family and long-term roots
  • Deep neighborhood pride and active civic engagement
  • Preservation of green space and a commitment to low-density character
  • Rich local history honored through community events and institutions like the Red Barn, the city's oldest standing structure
  • A culture that values neighbors, traditions and the unhurried rhythm of life

Colleyville has grown without losing itself in the process.
