Community background
Colleyville history and community development
The area was settled in the 1850s and included small communities such as Spring Garden, Pleasant Run, Pleasant Glade, and Bransford. The modern city took its name from Dr. Lilburn Howard Colley and incorporated in 1956. Colleyville later developed as a low-density suburb while retaining portions of its rural road pattern and larger-lot housing. Learn more through the Texas State Historical Association and the City of Colleyville.
Getting around
Location, transportation, and airport access
SH 26, also known locally as Colleyville Boulevard, is the main north-south commercial route. Nearby SH 121, SH 114, and Airport Freeway connect to DFW Airport and regional employment centers. Street patterns, school traffic, construction, and airport access vary by address, so buyers should test normal travel routes at the times they expect to use them.
Housing
Colleyville homes and neighborhood patterns
Colleyville includes older ranch and acreage properties, subdivisions developed from the 1970s through the 2000s, gated enclaves, newer infill, and custom estate homes. Commonly searched areas include Timarron Cascades, Ross Downs Estates, Montclair Parc, Thornbury, Whittier Heights, Woodland Hills, Caldwell’s Creek, and neighborhoods near Pleasant Run Road, Glade Road, and Hall-Johnson Road. Names describe general search areas and do not guarantee legal subdivision, HOA, or school boundaries.
Established subdivisions
Homes often date from the 1980s through early 2000s, with wide variation in renovations, lot position, pools, drainage, and HOA coverage.
Custom and gated
Larger homes and lots can carry higher maintenance, landscaping, pool, roof, mechanical, and specialty-system costs.
Older and acreage
Verify additions, permits, utility service, septic or sewer, wells, easements, drainage, outbuildings, and redevelopment restrictions.
Newer infill
Compare construction quality, warranties, drainage design, adjacent property use, road access, and HOA or architectural controls.
Home count, square-footage range, lot size, age, HOA coverage, and recent pricing vary by section. SellingNTX can provide an address-specific comparison using current NTREIS records, recorded plats, appraisal data, and HOA documents rather than relying on unsupported citywide estimates.
Market snapshot
Current Colleyville market context
Information updated August 7, 2026. Redfin reported a three-month median sale price of about $1.02 million through May 2026. Zillow reported a typical home value of about $930,400 and a median sale price near $959,600 through June 2026. These measures use different methods and are not interchangeable. Custom homes, acreage, condition, renovation quality, and small monthly sales samples can move citywide figures substantially.
Buyers should compare each property with recent nearby sales and active competition of similar age, size, condition, lot, school boundary, and renovation level.
Education
Schools and attendance boundaries
Many Colleyville addresses are served by Grapevine-Colleyville ISD, while some properties may be served by neighboring districts. City name, mailing address, and school assignment are not interchangeable. Verify enrollment eligibility and campus assignment directly with the district for each property.
SellingNTX does not rank schools or label them as good or bad. Buyers can use official sources to compare boundaries, programs, enrollment, transportation, and accountability information according to their own priorities.
Around town
Parks, recreation, shopping, and dining
City recreation options include Colleyville Nature Center, McPherson Park, Sparger Park, Kimzey Park, trails, athletic facilities, library programs, and seasonal events. Shopping and dining are concentrated along Colleyville Boulevard and in nearby Grapevine, Southlake, and Hurst-Euless-Bedford commercial areas. Businesses, hours, and event schedules change, so verify details before visiting.
