Watermere at Southlake

Watermere at Southlake is a luxury, gated 55+ community spanning 67 acres of ponds, walking paths, and lushly landscaped grounds in the heart of Southlake, Texas — one of the most prestigious suburbs in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Designed around a 35,000-square-foot clubhouse that anchors the community, Watermere delivers an experience far closer to a five-star resort than a typical retirement neighborhood, with concierge services, on-site dining, and a full-service day spa built into everyday life. The community is organized into three distinct housing sections. The Residences are attached villas, most built from 2007 onward, ranging from roughly 2,100 to 2,700 square feet with two or three bedrooms, first-floor primary suites, 10-foot ceilings, custom cabinetry, granite counters, stainless appliances, and attached two-car garages. The South Village is a collection of custom-built cottages from multiple builders, ranging from about 2,500 to 3,600 square feet and tailored to each homebuyer's specifications. The South Tower is a four-story mid-rise condominium building attached directly to the clubhouse, offering one- and two-bedroom condos from roughly 1,000 to 2,900 square feet — ideal for residents who want elevator access and zero walking to amenities. In total the master plan includes approximately 181 homes. The clubhouse is the beating heart of Watermere. Inside, residents find a state-of-the-art fitness center, an indoor heated lap pool, yoga and Pilates studios, a full-service day spa offering massage, nail, and hair services, a library, card room, billiards room, game room, and multipurpose activity rooms. Dining is handled in-house: La Mer Restaurant serves upscale modern cuisine in a refined setting, River Bend Cafe offers casual lunches and lighter fare, and Stone Ridge Lounge is a full bar with regular happy hours. Monthly HOA dues include a food-and-beverage credit residents can apply toward any of the on-site venues. Life at Watermere revolves around a full-time activities director and a packed monthly calendar. Social groups and events range from water aerobics, yoga, and Pilates to poker nights, trivia, wine tastings, happy hours, book clubs, fishing outings, horseshoes, golf outings, and curated day trips to museums and cultural attractions around DFW. The gated grounds include stocked ponds for fishing, tennis courts, shuffleboard, and over a mile of walking and biking trails winding through the landscaped greenbelt. The HOA covers an unusually wide range of services — exterior maintenance, landscaping, lawn care, common-area upkeep, security, management, internet, cable, water, sewer, trash, pest control, housekeeping options, and on-site transportation — giving residents a true lock-and-leave lifestyle. That all-inclusive structure is why residents often describe Watermere as more like independent living with ownership than a traditional HOA community. Location is one of Watermere's strongest selling points. Southlake is consistently ranked among the top suburbs in Texas for schools, shopping, and dining, and Watermere sits just minutes from Southlake Town Square — an outdoor shopping and dining district anchoring the community's social life beyond the gates. DFW International Airport is about 10 miles away, downtown Dallas and downtown Fort Worth are each under 40 minutes, and Methodist Southlake Hospital is roughly three miles from the front gate. Residents who want a luxury, high-touch 55+ lifestyle without leaving North Texas — and without the scale of a sprawling master plan — tend to gravitate here.
