What Makes Argyle’s Home Prices Higher Than Most of Denton County

The median home sale price in the 76226 zip code is around $665,000 as of early 2026, but the average list price runs closer to $970,000 because luxury estates on one-acre lots pull that number up. Either way, you’re looking at roughly $200,000 to $300,000 above the Denton County median. Argyle home prices were up about 18.5% year-over-year as of late 2025, according to Redfin, though month-to-month numbers have been volatile since then.

Three things drive that premium. First, lot sizes. Most Argyle neighborhoods feature quarter-acre to full-acre homesites, and the newest communities are building exclusively on one-acre lots. Second, Argyle ISD. The district earned an A+ on Niche for 2026 and ranks #8 among all Texas school districts. Third, the town’s low-density zoning and population of about 6,300 mean most neighborhoods remain single-family residential.

The 7 Most Expensive Neighborhoods in Argyle, TX

This list ranks Argyle neighborhoods by home price, using a combination of median sale prices for established communities and starting prices for newer developments with limited sales history. Only neighborhoods verified within Argyle’s municipal boundaries or ETJ are included.

1. 1830 Place

Home values at 1830 Place are anticipated to range from $2.6 million to $4.5 million, making it Argyle’s most expensive neighborhood by a wide margin. The community is small and exclusive, with just 13 one-acre homesites spread across 16 acres on FM 1830. The minimum build size is 4,200 square feet with a four-car garage. Providential Custom Homes is the builder, and the community is now under construction. Lot prices alone run $600,000 to $675,000 before a home is built on them.

2. Enclave at Hickory Hill

Toll Brothers opened the Enclave at Hickory Hill in February 2026, with homes starting from $1.35 million. Like 1830 Place, this community builds on one-acre lots, but with semi-custom rather than fully custom homes. Floor plans range from about 3,800 to over 6,000 square feet, with 4 to 5 bedrooms and up to 6 bathrooms. The sales center is at 11005 Neece Blvd in Argyle. This is the first Toll Brothers community inside Argyle, and it fills a gap between Argyle’s production builders and the fully custom tier.

3. Estates of Pilot Knob

Estates of Pilot Knob is Argyle’s most established luxury neighborhood, with homes originally built between 2003 and 2008. The median sale price is around $950,000, though current listings range from about $890,000 to $1.8 million. Homes here are large, typically 5 to 7 bedrooms with 5 or more bathrooms on oversized lots. Annual property taxes run $12,000 to $17,000 depending on assessed value.

4. 5T Ranch

5T Ranch is located on Country Club Road on the north side of town with 90 homes on quarter-acre to half-acre lots, built starting in 2016 by Southgate Homes. Homes are generally priced from the $900,000s. The community is sold out for new construction, so all available inventory is resale.

5. Lakes of Argyle

Lakes of Argyle is a newer community of about 115 acres just west of Highway 377, near the center of town. Homes are built by Our Country Homes on half-acre or larger lots, with floor plans ranging from 2,800 to 4,300 square feet. New construction prices currently run from about $770,000 to over $1.25 million. The neighborhood has paved walking trails, parks, greenbelts, and lakeside fishing spots. All addresses are zoned to Argyle ISD.

6. The Oaks of Argyle

The Oaks of Argyle is located in the 76226 zip code with a median list price around $783,000. Homes range from about 3,100 to 4,100 square feet. The community includes walking trails and parks across nearly eight acres of open space. Southgate Homes is the primary builder, and the community is still active.

7. Canyon Falls

Canyon Falls is a 1,200-acre master-planned community that spans Argyle, Northlake, and Flower Mound. Only the Argyle-addressed sections are included in this ranking. The median sale price for Canyon Falls overall is about $744,000 to $774,000, with homes ranging from the $600,000s to over $1 million. Multiple builders are active, and the community has resort-style amenities including pools, trails, and parks. One thing to be aware of: because Canyon Falls crosses municipal boundaries, your property tax rate, school district, and city services depend on exactly where your lot falls within the community.

How Argyle Property Taxes Affect the True Cost

Argyle’s average effective property tax rate is about 2.11% according to Ownwell. That breaks down to the Town of Argyle (0.34%), Argyle ISD (1.17%), and Denton County (0.19%).

On a $950,000 home with the $140,000 school district homestead exemption applied, you’re looking at roughly $18,000 to $20,000 in annual property taxes. On a $1.5 million home, that number climbs to about $29,000 to $32,000. These are estimates, and your actual rate depends on your assessed value and whether any special districts apply to your address.

One advantage in the town of Argyle: most neighborhoods inside town limits don’t carry MUD or PID overlays, which keeps the effective rate closer to that 2.11% baseline. Some communities in Argyle’s ETJ (extraterritorial jurisdiction) may have additional district taxes, so verify by address before making an offer.
