Upscale neighborhoods meet suburban tranquility in this Fort Worth suburb

Suburban Commuter Convenient Laidback Peaceful

Westlake is part of a collection of communities north of Fort Worth, just below Grapevine Lake. It’s a relatively secluded area, largely made up of gated and private communities full of luxury homes.

Westlake is a perfect example of laidback Texas living. Residents praise the area for friendly neighbors, plentiful space, and highly-rated schools. Those looking for nightlife will appreciate how close the Dallas-Fort Worth area is — just 30 minutes south. And the outdoor-inclined can be hiking, biking, and fishing in the recreational center that is Grapevine Lake and the outdoor trails that surround it.

Most of the residential living in Westlake is found in the center of the community, but there are a number of upscale apartment communities on the border, all offering unparalleled amenities.
