Welcome to Colleyville
A peaceful suburban retreat with rural roots and timeless charm.
Colleyville is a picturesque city in the center of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, offering a refreshing blend of small-town tranquility and upscale suburban living. Though once defined by sprawling farmlands and ranches, Colleyville has evolved into a desirable residential destination without sacrificing its pastoral appeal. You’ll still find rolling hills, mature trees, winding roads, and spacious lots that evoke its rural past—elements that continue to shape its visual charm and serene atmosphere.
This city delivers a high quality of life in every respect. While located minutes from major highways, DFW International Airport, and cities like Southlake, Grapevine, and Dallas, Colleyville feels comfortably removed from the buzz of urban life. It's a place where neighbors greet each other by name, outdoor spaces are cherished, and the community spirit is woven into every festival, event, and family outing. Residents value Colleyville not just for its convenience but for its deep-rooted character and peaceful setting.
