| Dimension | Northlake | Argyle |
|---|---|---|
| Orbit | 114/35W — corridor jobs, Westlake, Alliance | 377 — corridor south, Denton north; two-way pull |
| Growth intensity | Purest builder regime on the corridor | Wave arriving at edges; acreage core holding |
| Districts | NISD-heavy with internal splits | Argyle ISD / NISD interleave — densest verify-by-address zone |
| Land option | Limited; master-planned dominates | Real acreage still in play |
| Incentive leverage | Maximum — thickest phase competition | Present in new phases; thinner overall |
The honest tiebreaker: badge at Westlake or on the spine → Northlake's geometry wins. Split life between corridor and Denton, or want land with growth-market upside → Argyle. In both, the district line moves value as much as the town line does — verify every address. Compiled August 2026.
