About Westlake
DFW’s most exclusive address
Westlake is home to approximately 1,700 residents and is one of the wealthiest and most exclusive municipalities in Texas. With a median home value near $4.1 million, the town features custom estate homes, gated communities, and expansive lots in a wooded, semi-rural setting between Southlake and Fort Worth.
Home to the prestigious Westlake Academy and partially served by Carroll ISD, Westlake attracts executives, entrepreneurs, and families seeking the highest-quality schools and an ultra-private residential experience. The real estate market here operates differently from typical suburban valuations, with limited inventory, custom construction, and buyers who prioritize quality over price per square foot.

FAQ
Westlake appraisal questions
How much does an appraisal cost in Westlake?
Standard appraisals in Westlake start at $600, but Westlake's ultra-luxury properties often require additional analysis due to size, custom features, and limited comparable sales. Estate and litigation appraisals start at $800. We provide a firm quote before work begins based on the specific property.
How do Westlake Academy and Carroll ISD affect home values?
Westlake Academy is a highly ranked public charter school, and Carroll ISD (serving parts of Westlake) is one of the top-rated districts in Texas. Both are significant drivers of demand and property values. The combination of elite school options and an ultra-affluent community creates a premium market that requires careful comparable analysis.
How long does a Westlake appraisal take?
Most standard appraisals in Westlake are completed in 5 business days from the inspection date. Ultra-luxury properties with limited comparable sales may take 10 business days or less. Westlake is approximately 25 minutes from our Fort Worth office.
Do you have experience appraising homes over $3 million?
Yes. Westlake has a median home value near $4.1 million, and appraising at this price point requires expertise in analyzing custom architecture, premium materials, estate-sized lots, and limited comparable sales. We understand how to properly value luxury features and find appropriate comparable sales across the high-end DFW market.
Can I use an appraisal for my Westlake property tax protest?
Yes. Westlake properties are appraised by the Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD). Given Westlake's extreme property values, overassessment can result in substantial excess taxes. An independent certified appraisal provides strong evidence for a protest. The deadline to file is May 15 each year.
