Colleyville has made it big. This once-rural farm community now graces the top ten lists of best places to live, both in Dallas and Fort Worth and across the nation. Money Magazine named Colleyville as one of the “Best 100 Places to Live in America” and Newsweek and D Magazine have also honored this small town with big accolades.

Small-Town Roots

From its small-town roots to superb location, Colleyville is a highly sought after community. Colleyville boasts a low crime rate, an excellent public education system (one of the best in the nation), a beautiful and expansive park system and superb recreational facilities. Its close proximity to both Dallas and Fort Worth attracts many professionals looking for a reasonable commute time without the stressors of the city.

Thoughtful Developments

Colleyville’s wide open farm lands have now given way to some exclusive neighborhoods, although the preservation of nature has been honored throughout the building process. Well-planned developments are a mainstay in Colleyville, as it’s quite common to see beautiful, stately homes amidst rolling land and wooded expanses.

Two particular developments, Broughton of Colleyville and Whittier Heights, have changed the way we think about suburban living. Instead of the typical suburban concept, these developments boast beautiful, open green spaces, winding trails and looping cul-de-sacs which lead into one another. The design of these neighborhoods, as well as several throughout Colleyville, emphasize the importance of community interaction and socialization.

Perhaps it’s the rural feel of Colleyville that attracts so many people. Although business is essential for most individuals, they still often crave the solitude and serenity that a quite suburb like Colleyville offers.

Colleyville has now become one of the premier communities in North Texas due, in part, to its well-designed neighborhoods and well-planned growth and development. The residential growth of Colleyville has also spurred commercial growth, which is expected to continue for years to come.
