Everyone’s talking about Frisco, Southlake, and Flower Mound — but there’s a North Texas suburb that quietly checks every box for family living: Lantana, TX.
Located just 15–20 minutes from Flower Mound, Highland Village, and Northlake, Lantana is a master-planned community built for connection, convenience, and long-term living. With over 3,000 homes, it offers everything from starter houses to luxury estates on the golf course — all nestled in a landscape of rolling hills, mature trees, and resort-style amenities.
Let’s take a look at why families (mine included) are falling in love with Lantana.
What Makes Lantana, TX Different from Other DFW Suburbs?
Lantana was designed with one core idea: build a community, not just a collection of houses. And it shows.
The neighborhood is made up of dozens of distinct mini-communities, each with its own unique personality, builders, parks, and — in some cases — exclusive pools or fitness centers. But they’re all united under one larger community association, bringing everyone together under the Lantana banner.
Highlights:
-
Tree-lined streets and mature landscaping throughout
-
Rolling hills that set it apart from flat suburban sprawl
-
Events and activities run by a full-time lifestyle director
-
Family-first culture with long-time residents and strong community ties
Takeaway: Lantana offers more than homes — it offers community.
Where Is Lantana Located in DFW?
Lantana sits in Denton County, just northwest of Flower Mound, southwest of Argyle, and a quick drive from Highland Village.
Distance to Key Areas:
-
15 minutes to Flower Mound
-
10 minutes to Highland Village’s Shops at Highland Village
-
30 minutes to DFW Airport
-
15–20 minutes to Denton or Roanoke
While Lantana may feel tucked away, you’re still close enough to major roads and shopping hubs. Plus, nearby Marty B’s — a live music, BBQ, and community hotspot — brings the social scene right to your doorstep.
Takeaway: Lantana offers the best of both worlds — privacy and proximity.
What Are Homes Like in Lantana, TX?

Takeaway: Lantana homes fit every season of life — and let you move up without moving out.
What Are Lantana’s Schools Like?
Lantana is zoned to Denton ISD, and one of its biggest strengths is how school-centered the community is. All three elementary schools and the middle school are located within the neighborhood, making drop-offs and pickups easy — and friendships even easier.
Schools in Lantana:
-
Elementary: EP Razor, Adkins, Blanton (all within neighborhood)
-
Middle: Harpool Middle School (also within Lantana)
-
High: Guyer High School (located nearby)
As a parent who had three boys go through these schools, I can tell you firsthand — the schools are a huge reason we stayed in Lantana for 17 years.
Takeaway: Kids can walk to school, grow up with the same friends, and thrive in a safe, close-knit educational environment.
What Amenities Does Lantana Offer Residents?
This is where Lantana truly shines.
The community offers resort-style amenities that rival luxury developments — and many of them are tucked right into individual mini-neighborhoods for easy access.
Lantana Amenities:
-
5 swimming pools (two resort-style)
-
2 fitness centers (fully equipped gyms)
-
Basketball and tennis courts
-
Newly added pickleball courts
-
Miles of scenic, tree-covered walking trails
-
Seasonal events and festivals for all ages
Whether you're an avid runner, dog walker, or just want your kids to have space to play — Lantana is built for active families.
Takeaway: It’s hard to be bored in Lantana — and easy to stay active, engaged, and connected.
Thinking About Moving to Lantana?
I lived here for 17 years, raised my family here, and walked every trail. Whether you're looking to build, buy, or move up into something new, Lantana gives you room to grow without leaving the community you've come to love.

What’s Included in the Lantana HOA?
One of Lantana’s unique features is its highly involved HOA — and while it comes with standards, it also comes with perks.
What’s Included:
-
Lawn mowing and shrub maintenance
-
Basic internet service
-
Security patrol
-
Community events
-
Maintenance of trails, parks, and common areas
Yes, the HOA is more “hands-on” than some — meaning you’ll need to keep up your home’s exterior. But that also means consistent property values, beautiful curb appeal, and a stronger sense of community pride.
Takeaway: The HOA keeps Lantana looking sharp — so you can spend more time enjoying it.
Is Lantana Right for Your Family?
If you're looking for a family-first, amenity-rich, and school-centered community near Flower Mound or Highland Village — Lantana might be exactly what you’ve been searching for.
You might love Lantana if:
-
You want top-rated schools within walking distance
-
You’re seeking resort-style amenities without luxury pricing
-
You appreciate strong community standards and involvement
-
You want the flexibility to move up or down without moving away
A few trade-offs to know:
-
It’s not the shortest drive to major highways or downtown Dallas
-
The HOA is more involved — not ideal if you're anti-HOA
Takeaway: If you're ready to invest in a better quality of life, Lantana is worth a serious look.
If you’re considering a move to DFW, or want help navigating your options within North Texas, that’s exactly what my family and I are here for.
