What's new at Southlake Town Square in 2026? Brian White | August 19, 2026 What's opening at Southlake Town Square in 2026? Southlake Town Square is in the middle of its biggest retail expansion in years. Crate & Barrel opened near July 4, 2026, Ascension Coffee opens this month in the former Corner Bakery space, ON Running arrives in the second half of 2026 as its first Tarrant County store, and Reformation and Rothy's have both joined the lineup. Together, the additions bring more than 30,000 square feet of new retail and dining to the square, and they're a good signal of where Southlake's day-to-day life is headed if you're weighing a move there. By Brian White | August 11, 2026 If you've driven through Southlake Town Square any time in the last year, you've probably noticed the construction fencing moving from one storefront to the next. This isn't a one-off opening. It's a genuine wave, and it's worth understanding both what's coming and what it means if you're one of the families thinking about making Southlake home. A big year for the square. Here's what's actually opening, in order: * Crate & Barrel opened near Independence Day 2026, one of the square's largest new footprints in years. * Rothy's is already open, a 1,972-square-foot space near Vuori and across from Tecovas, known for machine-washable footwear made from recycled materials. * Ascension Coffee opens this month, taking over the former Corner Bakery location with a full espresso bar, a single-origin slow bar, and seasonal coffee flights. * ON Running is slated for the second half of 2026, a 6,000-square-foot space between Alo and Sunglass Hut, and it's the brand's first store in all of Tarrant County. * Reformation is opening sometime in 2026 as well, rounding out a lineup that skews toward the kind of national, design-forward brands that usually choose one or two DFW locations, not a dozen. Put together, that's four brands making their first or one of their first Tarrant County appearances in the same 12-month stretch, all within the same few blocks. That's not typical, and it tells you something about how retailers see Southlake right now. What this means if you're thinking about moving to Southlake. This is the kind of thing that matters more than it looks like on paper. A Saturday morning coffee run, a walk to dinner, a place to take the kids after a soccer game, these are the details that make a neighborhood feel like home rather than just a good school district and a nice yard. Southlake Town Square carries a Walk Score of 65, Southlake's only true walkable, mixed-use development, with retail, restaurants, offices, entertainment, a hotel, civic space, and parks all within a few blocks of each other. That's rare in this part of North Texas, where most daily errands mean getting in the car. If walking to the square matters to your family, your options are real but limited. Communities like Carillon, WillowTree Gardens, and the Garden District put you within a short walk or a quick golf cart ride of the action, and townhomes in that footprint generally run from the $600,000s to over $1 million depending on size and finish level. If you want a larger single-family lot and you're comfortable with a short drive instead of a walk, that opens up a wider range of Southlake neighborhoods at a broader range of price points. Either way, this is exactly the kind of decision where it helps to actually see the options side by side rather than guess from a map. I walk families through this trade-off constantly: how close is close enough, and what are you willing to give up in lot size or price to get it. The trade-off: what you're paying for. Southlake's luxury market has softened slightly from its peak frenzy years, and that's good news if you've been priced out before. Inventory is up roughly 21% compared to last year, giving buyers more real choices than they've had in a while, and well-priced homes are averaging 49 to 68 days on market instead of selling in a weekend. Even so, Southlake remains one of the more expensive markets in the area. The median home value across the city currently sits between $1.2 million and $1.65 million, with the top 10% of properties priced at $4 million and above. Homes above $2.5 million with resort-style outdoor space and updated finishes tend to move fastest, which tells you buyers at that price point are shopping on lifestyle as much as square footage. If you're planning a move like this, you're almost never just buying a house near a nice retail district. You're usually also selling your current home at the same time, and coordinating that sell-and-buy timeline is where most of the stress in a move like this actually comes from. That's the exact problem my Move-Up Roadmap approach is built to solve for families selling and buying in Southlake at the same time, synchronizing both sides of the transaction so you're not carrying two mortgages or scrambling to close a gap. And if the home you want does draw multiple offers, which is still common in Southlake's tighter price bands, knowing how to structure a winning offer matters just as much as finding the right neighborhood in the first place. Frequently asked Questions. Is it hard to buy a home within walking distance of Southlake Town Square? It's competitive but not impossible. True walk-to-square inventory is limited to a handful of communities like Carillon, WillowTree Gardens, and the Garden District, so pricing runs at a premium and good listings move quickly. A wider ring of Southlake neighborhoods is a short drive from the square and offers more inventory at a broader range of price points. How much does it cost to live near Southlake Town Square? Townhomes and attached homes close to the square generally range from the $600,000s to over $1 million. Single-family homes elsewhere in Southlake carry a citywide median between $1.2 million and $1.65 million, with the top 10% of the market priced at $4 million and up. When will ON Running and Reformation actually open at Southlake Town Square? ON Running is slated for the second half of 2026 in a 6,000-square-foot space between Alo and Sunglass Hut, its first Tarrant County location. Reformation is set to open sometime in 2026 as well, though an exact date hasn't been announced. Is Southlake's rising inventory making it easier to buy near the square? Inventory across Southlake is up roughly 21% year over year, and well-priced homes are taking 49 to 68 days to sell instead of going in days. That gives buyers more real options than the last several years allowed, though homes close to the square specifically remain limited and in demand. Do I need to sell my current home before I can buy in Southlake? Not necessarily. Many move-up families structure their sale and purchase to close close together, or use tools like a rent-back agreement or bridge financing to bridge the gap. The right structure depends on your equity, your timeline, and how competitive the specific listing is, which is exactly what a Move-Up Strategy Call is designed to sort out.
