South Denton
Quality education and a convenient lifestyle make South Denton one of the most popular neighborhoods in Denton. “It is a very desirable area. It’s in a really good school district. There’s a big park right there. It’s close to the Denton mall and I-35,” says Kaki Lybbert, a Realtor with Century 21 Judge Fite Company. Whether you’re in the mood for a day of shopping or a nice dinner at one of the many dining options, South Denton has something to explore.
Located in the southern end of Denton, this neighborhood has a mix of vintage and newer homes. The homes in the more established part of the neighborhood are mostly ranch-style homes with lots of trees covering the front lawns. The shady neighborhood streets will make you feel as if you’re driving through a forest far from the city. There are many newer subdivisions throughout the community, offering new traditional brick homes. The homes in these areas are closer together and don’t have as many trees lining the streets, but there are sidewalks throughout the subdivisions, making it easy to take an evening stroll. Finally, there are rural parts of the neighborhood with homes on large lots with plenty of space between the houses.
Lybbert says the neighborhood is on the higher end regarding home costs in Denton. You’ll probably spend somewhere in the $400,000 to $500,000 range for a four-bedroom home. Larger houses with more yard space can cost upwards of $700,000.
The I-35 corridor and Loop 288 are home to several popular shopping and dining options. The expansive Golden Triangle Mall houses department stores like Dillard’s, JCPenney, Barnes & Noble, and several other shops. Residents enjoy dining out at the Oldwest Café of Denton, a western-themed eatery serving traditional American fare for breakfast and lunch. If you’re in the mood for pancakes or chicken fried steak, this is the restaurant for you.
Students in the neighborhood might attend Ryan Elementary School, McMath Middle School and Denton High School. McMath is a highly rated school that receives an A- overall from Niche. The school encourages students to be involved in extracurricular programs like the gardening club or Team Jump Start, a student-led non-profit organization. Denton High receives an A- overall rating from Niche. The school opened its new state-of-the-art campus ahead of the 2022-23 school year, featuring new security features, upgraded technology and collaborative spaces for students. Denton High is known for its award-winning jazz and mariachi bands and its successful basketball and girls’ soccer teams.
Head to South Lakes Park for some outdoor time. This vast, picturesque green space has several amenities, making it a fun spot for any resident. You can walk on one of the park’s walking trails, cast a line in the fishing lakes or play a game of sand volleyball or tennis. Residents who enjoy running or walking can explore the historic Denton Katy Trail. This 8-foot-wide concrete trail runs parallel to the Denton County A-Train railroad tracks. The trail has several public access points and is popular for bicycling, jogging or even inline skating. For convenience and a wide mix of local attractions, South Denton makes it easy to have it all.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
