Sitting in the heart of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is the quiet yet coveted suburb of Colleyville, Texas. Named for Dr. Lilburn Howard Colley — a prominent physician, Union Army veteran and one of the settlement's early residents — Colleyville has grown from a rural 19th-century farming town to one of the most desirable and wealthiest places to live in the Metroplex. Benefitting from the presence of the Cotton Belt Route railway that passed through the area, the city is now home to executive estates, Millennial mansions and a wide array of luxury homes. As Colleyville’s wealth continues to grow, so does the city itself, welcoming more massive modern custom-built estates and more residents to the Colleyville community.

Cotton Belt Trail connects the region
Ten parks call Colleyville home, along with the Colleyville Nature Center and the Cotton Belt Trail. Covering 40 acres, City Park is a sports lover’s dream as it offers basketball courts, six lighted tennis courts, nine lighted baseball and softball fields and four lighted pickleball courts. The Kidsville Playground is a favorite children’s attraction featuring a 10,000-square-foot play structure. Walkers, joggers and bicyclists can take to the park’s one-mile trail while performers hit the stage at the amphitheater and nature enthusiasts spend time at the pond.
The regional Cotton Belt Trail connects the cities of Colleyville, Grapevine, Hurst and North Richland Hills and is popular among bicyclists and runners. Within Colleyville, the trail connects Pleasant Run Soccer Complex, L.D. Lockett Park and Bransford Park (home of the historic Webb House), where restrooms along the trail can be located, and a pocket park at Colleyville Boulevard and John McCain Road has a multi-use fountain for dogs to get a cool drink.
The Colleyville City Park has plenty to offer from walking trails to baseball fields.

Festivals for all
The annual Bunny Brunch & Lunch is a favorite family-friendly event at the Colleyville Center. Pony rides and petting zoos await while kids get their faces painted and grab balloon animals and figures made especially for them. Inflatable slides, games and prizes are all a part of the package, topped off with a picture of the Easter Bunny.
Fishing is serious business in Colleyville, and the Texas Junior Anglers host free fishing events every year at Anglers Pond at the Colleyville Nature Center. Poles and bait are provided for those participants who need it, and prizes are given out for the largest fish caught in the identified age groups. The event is open to kids ages 16 and under.
Parents and children look forward to Colleyville’s annual Winter Ball, where the city hosts its mother-son and daddy-daughter dances. With a different theme each year, the event includes professional photos of the participants, specialty swag bags and a DJ that keeps the party going until the end. Desserts and refreshments are also served. Participating children must be between the ages of 4 and 12.
Grapevine Highway lined with eateries
A drive down Grapevine Highway takes residents through Colleyville’s shopping and dining retail hub. For grocery runs, Whole Foods Market and Walmart Neighborhood Market sit across the street from each other, and Market Street in Town Center is a popular local grocery store just 1 mile up the road. Town Center also houses several restaurants and eateries, including Loveria Caffè Taste of Italy, Gloria’s Latin Cuisine and Townhouse Brunch.
Gloria’s Latin Cuisine is where Colleyville residents can enjoy a casual lunch or a night out.

For Colleyville’s frequent fliers, Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport is only 9 miles away — 13 minutes without heavy traffic — via Texas State Highway 26 N to TX-114 E.
Two Top 100 high schools
