Carillon sits in the northeast corner of Southlake, and it has a different feel from communities like Timarron. Homes here tend to be newer, larger, and built with modern architecture in mind — think open floor plans, metal accents, large windows, and clean lines rather than the traditional stone-and-brick look that dominates older Southlake neighborhoods.
Most of the homes were built in the 2010s and 2020s, which matters for buyers who want updated systems, modern layouts, and homes that do not need significant renovation. If you are coming from a place like California or Chicago and you want something that feels current, Carillon is one of the first places to look in Southlake.

Carillon Parc: What Buyers Need to Know
Carillon Parc is a $400M+ mixed-use development planned for the community that will include upscale retail, restaurants, a hotel, office space, and walkable public areas. This is a significant project that does not have a parallel in most of Southlake.
For buyers, this cuts two ways. On the positive side, it will add walkability and lifestyle amenity that Southlake currently lacks relative to areas like Plano or Frisco. On the cautious side, you are buying adjacent to a construction zone for several years, and not every development like this lands exactly as planned. Amy can walk you through the current timeline and what it means for specific streets and lots in Carillon.
If you are buying in Carillon specifically because of Carillon Parc, it is worth a direct conversation about which parcels benefit most from the development and which are too close to the commercial activity for comfort.

Questions About Buying in Carillon
How does Carillon compare to Timarron?
They serve different buyers. Timarron is larger, more established, and has a classic Southlake feel. Carillon is newer, more modern, and architecturally different. Timarron has more mature trees and more community amenities built over decades. Carillon has newer homes and the future benefit of Carillon Parc. If you value newer construction and a more contemporary look, Carillon wins. If you value established character and a larger community, Timarron is the better fit.
When will Carillon Parc be complete?
Carillon Parc is a multi-phase development, and timelines for projects of this size shift. Amy follows the development closely and can give you the most current information on phases, expected completion, and what is already under construction. Do not rely on older articles for current timelines.
Is new construction still available in Carillon?
Yes, there are still some new construction opportunities in Carillon, though the community is largely built out. Amy can identify what is currently being built, which builders are active, and whether buying new versus resale makes sense for your situation and timeline.
What are the HOA fees in Carillon?
HOA fees in Carillon vary depending on which section you are in, but they tend to be higher than in older Southlake communities. Most fall in the $150–$300/month range. Amy will pull specific HOA information for any home you are seriously considering.
Are the homes in Carillon mostly custom or production builds?
Both. Earlier phases of Carillon included production builders who built high-quality homes at scale. Newer sections tend to have more custom and semi-custom builds. The distinction matters for finishes and uniqueness — Amy can help you identify which is which when you are evaluating specific homes.
