Denton Real Estate

UniversitiesHistoricInvestmentDenton County

The county seat, two major universities, and the best downtown square in North Texas. Cole Ranch and Hunter Ranch together represent roughly 15,000 planned homes — the largest development program in the region, and it will reshape south Denton over the next decade.

School districts

Who actually serves Denton

Denton ISD covers most of the city, with portions in Argyle ISD, Krum ISD, Ponder ISD and Sanger ISD.

What people get wrong here

Five districts touch this city. Argyle ISD in particular reaches into Denton, and an Argyle ISD address inside Denton city limits carries a real premium that sellers routinely fail to market and buyers routinely fail to look for.
