Small town vibes, gorgeous countryside and a great location are what draw families to Argyle. Located along the Interstate 35 corridor, Argyle boasts modern rural living at its finest with easy access to the thriving Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
Unique master-planned communities dot the area surrounding Argyle. Harvest, a 1,200-acre community, boasts a commercial farm where residents can rent farm plots, till the soil and harvest the fruits of their labor.

Argyle’s location along Interstate 35 makes commuting for work and play convenient. Most communities are a mere 20 minutes away from the arts, culture, sporting events, dining and shopping found in Denton. Fort Worth is less than 40 minutes away.
Denton offers a cornucopia of activities. The Denton Craft Beer District may boast the highest number of taps per capita in Texas (they’re still counting).

The many brewhouses, college bars and distilleries also serve as music venues where locals enjoy mellow jazz at Dan’s Silverleaf, local bands at Howling Mutt Brewing Co. and toe-tapping tunes at Andy’s Bar. Rubber Gloves Rehearsal Studios is a dedicated concert space with indoor and outdoor stages.
Shopping is plentiful with Argyle residents locating bargains at Golden Triangle Mall or heading farther afield to Highland Village and the Tanger Outlets. There are many dining options, but locals favor 407 BBQ, Earl’s 377 Pizza and Kimzey’s Coffee Shop.
Nature-loving families have a lot of options from water activities on Lake Ray Roberts to exploring the Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center. The Explorium Children’s Museum in Denton allows children to satisfy their curiosity about science, math and technology.
