Would love to get some perspectives on Southlake. I know it has a great school system but wanted to get some direct feedback on how people’s kids are liking it, is there good diversity, any other notable pros / cons. Do you find it convenient to get into downtown easily or is the traffic just horrendous now (or do you feel you rarely even need / want to go into Dallas). Appreciate any thoughts really. TIA

No diversity in Southlake

I live next to Southlake in Trophy Club. Generally speaking I avoid downtown Dallas, I’ve lived in TX for 4 years and have been to downtown Dallas like 4x.
Traffic on 114 near Southlake backs up in pockets during rush hours in the morning and evening.
I would say it’s pretty low on the diversity scale, lots of white peeps.
The schools are good but most important factor is the kids your children associate with. Sports are highly competitive.
I really like where I live and feel like the location is great to go into Dallas or Fort Worth and also has tons of stuff to do within 15-20 minutes.

I live in Keller and drive through Southlake to Dallas once a week to get to the office. From Southlake to Dallas isn’t too bad. It’s way better than 75 and it has the toll lanes for when things are backed up.
From my experience the schools are better than the Dallas area because the communities are more involved and the teachers often live in the school boundaries themselves.

Neither of these feel that helpful. Any one have suggestions for other identity-based goals that get at these changes I want to make?
