Neighborhood Spotlight: Kimball Hill in Southlake, TX
A local look at Kimball Hill Estates in Southlake — a small Carroll ISD pocket near Kimball Avenue, with a factual snapshot for buyers and sellers.
Kimball Hill is a small, quiet pocket on the Grapevine–Southlake edge. It is easy to miss if you only search “Grapevine neighborhoods,” but the streets sit in Southlake, in Carroll ISD, near South Kimball Avenue and Crooked Lane.
A Small, Custom Pocket
This is not a 300-home subdivision. Local reporting has described Kimball Hill Estates as roughly 20 homes, with larger lots — about 0.45 acres and up — and a later build period than many Grapevine streets. The feel is private and residential: custom houses, established landscaping, and little through traffic.
For sellers, the story is scarcity and school district as much as square footage. For buyers, the question is usually lot, updates, and how the house compares with other east Southlake / west Grapevine options.
Location
The neighborhood sits close to Carroll ISD campuses and recreation areas, with a short drive to Southlake Town Square and DFW. Grapevine amenities are next door. That border location is the point: Southlake schools and city services, with Grapevine convenience immediately east.
Schools
Kimball Hill addresses are in Carroll ISD. The commonly cited feed is Old Union Elementary, Eubanks Intermediate, Dawson Middle School, and Carroll High / Carroll Senior High. Confirm the current assignment for the specific address.
