Moving to Colleyville, Texas
Colleyville is a city in northeastern Tarrant County, bordered by Southlake, Grapevine, Euless, Bedford, Hurst, North Richland Hills, and Keller. It began as a group of small farming communities between Big Bear Creek and Little Bear Creek and incorporated on January 10, 1956. Today, the area doesn’t resemble those original farming communities at all. The housing is mostly established single-family homes and custom builds, many on larger lots with mature trees.

Thinking about moving to Colleyville or curious what’s currently on the market? I’d love to help. I live just up the road in Flower Mound and I know this stretch of the DFW metroplex firsthand. I call Colleyville the Highland Park of the west. (If you’re new to the area, Highland Park is a very high-end area just north of downtown Dallas, known for its tree-lined streets and large, custom homes.) To me, Colleyville has a similar feel on the west side of DFW Airport. If you want to talk about whether this area might be a good fit for you, book a phone consultation or fill out my contact form.
Randi was awesome. She did a great job for us from beginning to end of our search for a house. She even followed up with us after we settled. We could not have asked for a better experience.
