Building in Carillon Parc, Southlake | Complete Buyer's Guide

The European-inspired streetscape of Carillon Parc

Carillon Parc is one of the most talked-about new developments in Southlake — and for good reason. Set on 42 European-inspired acres near the corner of North White Chapel Boulevard and State Highway 114, this community brings something to North Texas that's rare in any luxury market: an intentional, walkable, mixed-use design where custom homes coexist with boutique retail, chef-driven dining, a central park, water features, and cobblestone streetscape details you won't find in a typical Southlake subdivision.

If you're considering building a custom home in Carillon Parc, this guide walks through what makes the community distinct, what the building process looks like, what you can expect to invest, and the answers to the questions we get asked most often. WillowTree Custom Homes has 13 lots currently available in Carillon Parc and is a featured builder in the St. Jude Dream Home Showplace held here — so we've spent more time in this community than most.

What makes Carillon Parc different

Cobblestone streetscape details at Carillon Parc

Southlake has plenty of beautiful neighborhoods. What makes Carillon Parc different is that it wasn't designed as a neighborhood at all — it was designed as a small European village dropped into North Texas.

The community sits on 42 acres and is organized into eight distinct districts, giving the site its own sense of place. Rather than the standard suburban model of houses along cul-de-sacs, Carillon Parc has:

• A central park with water features and walkable green space

• Oversized sidewalks with cobblestone details

• Boutique retail and chef-driven dining within the community

• Old-world architectural language — think European village rather than American suburb

• A new state-of-the-art city library planned within the community

• Luxury custom homes with a minimum square footage requirement of 3,500 sq ft

• An intentional mix of residential, retail, wellness, and entertainment

The design intent is a walkable, small-community feel where residents actually gather — meeting neighbors on shared sidewalks, walking to dinner, using the central park. In a market where large lots and long driveways are the norm, Carillon Parc offers something rarer: a genuine sense of place.

The location

Carillon Parc sits at the intersection of North White Chapel Boulevard and State Highway 114 — one of the most connected locations in Southlake. From here:

• DFW International Airport is a 12-minute drive

• Southlake Town Square is under 5 minutes away

• Downtown Fort Worth is 25 minutes

• Downtown Dallas is 30 minutes

The community is within the Carroll Independent School District — consistently one of the state's highest-performing districts

For families relocating to DFW, the combination of top schools, airport proximity, and reachability of both major metros makes Southlake — and Carillon Parc specifically — one of the most efficient luxury addresses in North Texas.

The St. Jude Dream Home Showplace connection

The St. Jude Dream Home Showplace at Carillon Parc built by WillowTree Custom Homes in Southlake, TX

Carillon Parc is home to the first St. Jude Dream Home Showplace — a multi-builder charitable showcase supporting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, where families with sick children never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food.

The Showplace brought together Southlake's premier custom builders this year to build featured luxury homes that are opened for public tours. Buyers get to walk through completed homes from multiple builders side-by-side, comparing craftsmanship and design language in one afternoon — which is rare and genuinely useful.

WillowTree Custom Homes is proud to be a featured builder in the Showplace. It gives buyers a chance to walk a completed WillowTree home in the exact community they're considering building in — the most useful builder-tour experience there is.

• Old-world or European-inspired architecture — French, Mediterranean, Transitional Mediterranean styles work best

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to use a specific builder in Carillon Parc?

No — Carillon Parc has several approved builders, and buyers can choose the one they connect with. If you're looking specifically at WillowTree lots, those 13 are exclusive to us. Other lots in the community are available through other approved builders.

What's the timeline from signing to move-in?

A realistic timeline for a custom home at Carillon Parc is 14-18 months from contract to keys, including 3-7 months of pre-construction.

Can I bring my own architect?

Yes. Some buyers prefer to work with an architect they've selected; others use our in-house design partnerships. Both approaches work — the key is agreeing on the design process early so budgets and timelines stay aligned.

What if I want a floor plan different from your 12 available plans?

The 12 floor plans are starting points and inspiration. Every home we build is custom-designed — plans may get modified. The plans give you a sense of what's possible on each lot; the final home is yours.

How do I know if Carillon Parc is right for my family?

Carillon Parc fits families who want walkable community life, love European or old-world architecture, prioritize being near shops and dining, and value being in Carroll ISD without being deep in a suburb. It's less of a fit for families who want acreage, privacy, and long driveways. The best way to know is to visit — walk the streets, feel the area, see if it fits your picture of daily life.
