Welcome to
Lantana
Welcome to our beautiful corner of North Texas, where the rustic charm of Argyle and Bartonville meets the vibrant, lakeside spirit of Flower Mound and Lantana. We are thrilled to have you join a community defined by its rolling hills, top-tier schools, and the warm, neighborly connection that makes this area truly feel like home.
What to love
In 2026, this region of North Texas continues to be one of the most desirable places to live in the United States, recently earning top rankings for its "small-town feel with big-city perks." Here are five things you’ll love about this community:
1. The "Green" Buffer
Unlike the concrete-heavy development found in other parts of DFW, this area is defined by the Cross Timbers forest and scenic rolling hills. Thanks to strict "SMARTGrowth" planning, you’ll find mature oak canopies, expansive parks like Heritage Park, and the iconic wildflowers on the "Mound" that keep the community feeling lush and natural rather than overdeveloped.
2. A "Triple Threat" Education System
Whether you are in the Flower Mound, Argyle, or Denton school districts, you are surrounded by educational excellence. The region is famous for a "Triple Threat" culture where students aren't just high-performers in the classroom; they are also state leaders in athletics and the fine arts. This creates a vibrant, family-centric atmosphere where community life often revolves around local school events.
3. Unlimited Lake & Trail Access
Nestled between Grapevine Lake and Lewisville Lake, the community offers a permanent "vacation vibe." You have immediate access to world-class mountain biking on the Northshore Trail, sunset views at the Lakeside DFW boardwalk, and weekend camping or boating at Twin Coves Park. It is an outdoor lover's paradise that encourages an active, healthy lifestyle.
4. High-End Social Hubs
You get the peace of a quiet neighborhood without sacrificing a "big city" night out. From the waterfront dining at the River Walk to the rustic-chic live music scene at Marty B’s in Bartonville, the local social scene is sophisticated and fun. Areas like Lakeside Village and The Shops at Highland Village offer boutique retail and gourmet food just minutes from your front door.
5. Unmatched Safety and Stability
Residents consistently cite the "peace of mind" as their favorite feature. With some of the lowest crime rates in Texas and a highly engaged local government, the community feels secure and stable. In 2026, the area remains a "front-porch" culture where neighbors look out for one another, making it the perfect sanctuary for families and professionals alike.
Schools
Lantana’s educational landscape is unique because it is a master-planned community served primarily by the Denton Independent School District, while a small portion of the western neighborhoods is zoned for the Argyle Independent School District. This dual-district setup, combined with on-site elementary and middle schools, allows many students to walk or bike to class, reinforcing the community’s family-centric "resort-style" vibe.
Denton ISD (The Primary Provider)
Most Lantana residents are zoned to Denton ISD, which has a significant physical presence within the community. In 2026, the district continues to offer a highly personalized, "A-rated" experience with a heavy emphasis on STEM and fine arts.
On-Site Elementary Schools: Lantana is home to three Denton ISD elementary campuses: Blanton, E.P. Rayzor, and Adkins. These schools are known for small class sizes and robust programs in coding, music, and Spanish.

Argyle ISD (The Western Edge)
A slice of the Lantana community falls within the Argyle ISD boundaries. In 2026, these residents are part of a district currently undergoing a massive "Soaring Together" transition to accommodate rapid growth.
Zoning Shift: As of 2026, Argyle ISD has transitioned to a two-middle-school model. Lantana residents in this zone generally attend Argyle West Elementary and the FM 407 Middle School (Western Zone).
