Colleyville is an affluent community located west of Dallas and northeast of Fort Worth. Voted one of the "Best Places to Live" in Texas by Money magazine, Colleyville is a magnet for families seeking an exceptional lifestyle. So many towns have the same old stores and restaurants with the same old merchandise and the same old food. But Colleyville is different. The city is a suburban oasis of fine homes, lush public parks and unique shopping, dining and entertainment opportunities.

From its roots as a sleepy little farming community in 1960, Colleyville has grown steadily to its current population of 24,000.

Today, Colleyville enjoys the well-deserved reputation as one of the premier addresses in North Texas. This is the epitome of small town living with access to every imaginable big city amenity.

The area that is now Colleyville was first settled in the 1850s. The city is named in honor of Lilburn H. Colley, a physician and a native of Missouri who moved to Texas in 1880. He practiced family medicine and was active in civic and educational activities in the area for 40 years. More than a century later, we are convinced Dr. Colley would be pleased with the city that bears his name. With outstanding schools, great shopping and dining, and an amazingly low crime rate, Colleyville offers something for everyone.
