Are you considering a move to Argyle, TX? You’ve made a great choice, and welcome to your new home! We know you’re going to love it here.

Dreaming of a charming, friendly small-town community that still offers the vibrancy of a big city nearby? Argyle, Texas might be your perfect fit. Nestled within the DFW metroplex, Argyle offers a delightful, neighborly ambiance with the excitement of Dallas-Fort Worth within easy reach. Whether you’re seeking a family-friendly atmosphere or a relaxed retreat, this little community beckons with its unique blend of rural serenity and metropolitan convenience. Let’s explore why this small town has become so popular in recent years and learn which neighborhoods in Argyle, Tx are the best place to find your forever home.

Where Is Argyle, TX?

You may be asking, where is Argyle TX? It’s located in Denton County, which is one of the fastest-growing counties in the country and is known for its great schools, great music, and great food. If you’re wondering how far is Argyle, TX, from Dallas, the answer is 41 miles – a reasonable commute or short distance for a weekend outing. 

The shortest driving route from Argyle, TX to Dallas, TX will take about 50 minutes via Texas 114 TEXpress. An alternate route on I-35E makes a Dallas to Argyle trip a bit longer. That means that you can enjoy all the benefits of living in this small-town community while still having access to the entertainment, shopping, hospitals, and professional sports that are a part of the Dallas side of the Metroplex. Fort Worth is even closer at 29 miles (and 33 minutes) away via I-35W. 

Why move from Fort Worth or Dallas to Argyle? 

If you’re ready to buy a home but have become discouraged after shopping in Fort Worth or Dallas, Argyle offers a compelling alternative. 

More Home for Your Money: Existing homes for sale in established areas of large cities can often command high prices. This has been especially true in North Dallas where home inventories have been chronically low for years. Buyers moving to Argyle who choose to live in planned communities are finding they can afford significantly more home for the money in suburban communities, versus what they can afford within the city limits of Dallas or Fort Worth.

Escape the Hustle: We’ve already mentioned Argyle’s peaceful, small-town atmosphere. It’s something residents here really love.

Family-Friendly Haven: Highly-rated schools, a nurturing environment, low crime rate, and an abundance of family-oriented activities make Argyle ideal for raising children.

Big-City Perks, Small-Town Charm: As we’ve already stated, living in Argyle, Texas means you can enjoy small-town life but you won’t miss out on the cultural offerings, diverse dining experiences, and career opportunities the DFW Metroplex provides.

Cost of Living in Argyle

How does the cost of living in Argyle, Texas compare to living in Dallas and some of the other cities in the metroplex?

As of July 2024, the cost of living in Argyle is slightly higher than the national average (4%), but still less expensive than the cost of living in Dallas, which is 7% higher than the national average.  Argyle’s low crime rate and quiet neighborhoods make it a highly sought-after area.

The town has a population of 6,325 and an average household income of $197,105. The current median sale price of a home in Argyle, TX, is $624,000. 

Neighborhoods in Argyle, TX, are surrounded by rolling hills and many offer wooded lots. The Argyle area is proud to provide homeowners with many lifestyle options from traditional homes to large estates to new home communities like Harvest! Argyle is also home to many equestrian farms, so don’t be surprised if you see horses on your way to tour your potential new home.

Best Argyle Neighborhoods

When you are ready to make a move, which neighborhoods in Argyle, Tx are the best when it comes to finding homes for sale? If you have a million or two to spend, you can find existing homes in Argyle, Tx in established subdivisions like Fairway Acres, Estates of Pilot Knob, Hickory Hill, and Steeplechase. Homes currently listed in these Argyle neighborhoods range for just under $1 Million to $1.969 Million. If your budget does not reach this high, your inventory of pre-owned homes for sale in Argyle is more limited. 

When it comes to finding relatively affordable homes for sale in Argyle, the best Argyle neighborhoods tend to be planned communities. These carefully designed enclaves offer an array of home designs at a wide range of prices, plus access to the community amenities that include options like swimming pools, fitness centers, playgrounds, parks, and walking trails.

The best planned community neighborhoods in Argyle, Tx go far beyond these basics. In addition to beautiful homes by the area’s top builders, Harvest by Hillwood offers not only these amenities, but so many more!
