Argyle

No downtown yet, but one is being planned

Argyle has no traditional downtown. Its center is the crossroads of US 377 and FM 407, where Town Hall sits at 308 Denton St. E. In January 2026 town leaders reviewed a concept for a tree-lined Main Street from Cook Street to Village Green Drive, with shops and a town property holding a municipal building and a new police building. No action was taken and no dates were set.

The town bought a six-acre site on FM 407, just east of US 377, in August 2024 for that project, and approved $750,000 for pre-construction work in July 2025. Nearby, Argyle Marketplace broke ground in June 2026 on Hwy 377 south of Cook Street: three buildings, about 23,000 sq ft, and a permanent home for the farmers market.

What's open now is small and local. Little Joe's Farmstead (401 US 377 S.) serves organic-meat and vegetable dishes and has a walk-up ice cream window. Quandary Kitchen & Market opened at 429 US 377 in October 2025. Earl and Isabella's Taverna was becoming an American tavern, The Argyle Social, in mid-2026. On FM 407 there's The Green Room, a 24-hour indoor golf simulator, and a new Bahama Buck's.

Events are small and town-run

The Easter egg hunt and pancake breakfast is the town's signature spring event, usually at Unity Park (135 Crawford Rd.). In 2026 it was on April 4 and moved indoors to Argyle Middle School's athletic complex because of the forecast; organizers stuffed more than 12,000 eggs. The Argyle Farmers Market, started in July 2024, runs on second Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon through October and finished its second season in 2025.

In the fall, local churches and the police department hold a community Trunk or Treat (its fifth year was 2025). In past Novembers the town has held an Arbor Day tree giveaway and a Veterans Thanksgiving dinner at Town Hall. The year closes with the annual Argyle Christmas Tree Lighting Festival, held Dec. 6 in 2025.

Parks, trails and Lewisville Lake

Unity Park, at 135 Crawford Rd., is the town's largest park. It has baseball and soccer fields, a batting cage, shaded pavilions and a paved half-mile trail along a creek with nature kiosks and a master gardener area. The town has not published its acreage.

The town's second public park is under way on 4.6 acres off Cook Street, behind Little Joe's Farmstead. Argyle paid about $1 million for the land. A state filing describes a $703,255 pedestrian trail with seating and tree planting at 200 Cook St., scheduled for July to September 2026. Earlier plans also called for an outdoor meeting space, a garden and a veterans memorial garden. In the Lakes of Argyle neighborhood, a paved 1.2-mile trail circles ponds with a fishing pier and pavilion (253 Aberdeen Blvd.).

For water, Highland Village's Pilot Knoll Park on Lewisville Lake (218A Orchid Hill Ln.) is about 10 miles east and has a boat ramp.

Errands: Tom Thumb changed the math

Until March 2026, groceries meant leaving the Argyle area. A 63,000 sq ft Tom Thumb with a drive-thru pharmacy opened on March 6, 2026, at 1046 Market Way in Harvest Town Center (I-35W and FM 407), open 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. The center sits in unincorporated Denton County, inside Argyle's extraterritorial jurisdiction, about half a mile outside town limits. Chuy's and Mo' Bettahs have announced restaurants there. CVS has a store at 111 FM 407 W.

For care, Medical City Argyle runs a 24-hour emergency room at 7218 Crawford Rd. as a campus of Medical City Denton. Texas Health's Breeze Urgent Care opened at 125 FM 407 E. in June 2025 (8 a.m.-8 p.m. daily), and RapidMed urgent care is at 391 US 377. The nearest full hospitals are Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Flower Mound (4400 Long Prairie Rd.) and Medical City Denton (3535 S. I-35E).

Argyle has no public library. The Flower Mound and Justin libraries issue free cards to Denton County residents. Denton's library charges non-residents $50 a year, though cards for students 17 and under are free.

Schools

Most of Argyle is in Argyle ISD, which also covers parts of Bartonville, Denton, Flower Mound and Northlake. In 2026-27 the district has four PK-5 elementaries (Hilltop, Argyle West, Argyle South and Jane Ruestmann), a Sixth Grade Center, Argyle Middle School (6-8), the new Scott Gibson Middle School (7-8) and Argyle High School. Michael Ball Intermediate and Argyle Legacy High School are due in 2027-28. Enrollment was 6,601 in 2026-27.

TEA rated the district an A (92) for 2024-25. Every campus earned an A except Hilltop Elementary, which earned a B. We did not find 2025-26 ratings.

Getting around and public safety

US 377 runs north-south through town and FM 407 east-west. I-35W is a few miles west and I-35E a few miles east. Off-peak, the Denton square is about 13 minutes away, the AllianceTexas area about 30, downtown Fort Worth 34, DFW Airport 36, Plano's Legacy West 43, downtown Dallas 50 and Love Field 51. Rush hour adds time.

Argyle has its own police department, headquartered at 506 N. Hwy 377 as of 2023. Fire and EMS come from Denton County Emergency Services District No. 1, which began as the Argyle Volunteer Fire District in 1963. Station 511 at 511 Gibbons Rd. S. has an engine, a brush truck and a MICU ambulance, with five firefighters on duty around the clock. Stations 513 (865 Copper Canyon Rd.) and 514 (6801 Cleveland Gibbs Rd.) also have Argyle addresses.
