Westlake in Tarrant County Makes Zillow’s Million-Dollar City List

For the first time the Tarrant County city of Westlake has made Zillow’s list of million-dollar cities, one of only 218 in the country and the third in Texas.

To be labeled as a “million-dollar city,” the city’s average home value must be $1 million or greater. There are currently 218 million-dollar cities across the nation, primarily in California and New York.

Texas’ three Zillow Million-Dollar Cities are all located in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

• Highland Park in Dallas ranks as the top million-dollar city in Texas, with an average home value of $1,601,700 per home
• Westlake ranks as No. 2, with an average home price of $1,599,800 per home.
• University Park in Dallas is the third and final on the Texas list of million-dollar cities, averaging to about $1,387,900 per home.

Westlake is the newest of the Texas cities that made it onto the list just this year. Zillow currently shows 34 property listings in the city — and all but one are priced at more than $1 million.

The newest million-dollar listing is a 10,020-square-foot waterfront home on a small manmade neighborhood lake at 1112 Post Oak Lane.

The four-bedroom, nine-bathroom home was listed 13 days ago for $4.75 million. It includes an exercise studio, which overlooks the lake, a private guest suite, a craft room and a utility room, a dog run with astroturf, dual offices, and an oversized garage.

The most expensive — which also offers the most spacious layout of the current listings at 15,390-square-feet— is priced at $9.9 million.

Located at 1876 Lakeshore Drive, this home has six bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, 14 living areas, a resort-style pool, spa, walk-out basement, and a putting green.

The least expensive is a four-bedroom, four-bathroom craftsman-style home, priced at $884,900.

The 3,335-square-foot home, located at 5933 Janet Court, has two living rooms, and a swimming pool with a detached pool-house in the backyard.
