    A very clean, very driven environment! The demographics of this suburb are not diverse at all however- the population is mostly white. Southlake does a good job of promoting school spirit and support within the community for all activity groups and ages.

    I have lived in Southlake for about 15 years and have absolutely loved it! It's a suburb of Dallas and has a super cute and homey feel. Southlake is pretty much middle-upper class living. The city has a town square which is the center of all the action in Southlake. The only movie theatre in South lake is in town square, so if course it's busy. Southlake is a fun environment and atmosphere. The city hosts annual events such as art in the square, Octoberfest, the Christmas lighting, 4th of July, and more. I would like to see more diversity in Southlake, but otherwise, its an amazing place to live.
    One of my favorite places in the area. Loved living here when I did. Wonderful community with excellent people. Even though 144 E & W and Southlake Boulevard are consumed in traffic alot, most neighborhoods are peaceful and quiet. Lots of charming homes, most notably on White Chapel S, Peytonville N, Dove Rd, Randol Mill, Davis Blvd N, and Stone Lakes. Excellent job options off 114 & Southlake Boulevard. From retail shops to eateries, to vets and doctors. Southlake is just blooming with potential. Although Southlake isn´t the most affordable place in the area, it is just beautiful and has great public schools.
